About today's writing prompt genre: Take the following story aspect and work it into a piece, whether poetry or prose, whether you explore what led up to this place in the story, it begins with the thread, or the thread is merely a tiny aspect of the story that has crystallized around the original image. However you choose to write it, use the following as a jumping off point.
Today's thread is...

Involve some stakes in this piece, unless you have a very specific reason to make the stakes low, I mean, who am I to tell you exactly what to write?
