Welcome to Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge. Each week I will be posting a photo I grab off the internet and challenging bloggers to write a flash fiction piece or a poem inspired by the photo. There are no style or word limits.
The painting below is from artist Alia El-Bermani posted by Catherine La Rose at pinterest.com.
For the visually challenged writer, the painting shows a young girl sitting on a bucket in her bedroom looking at her reflection in a full-length mirror. She seems to have a fashion magazine open on her lap. On the floor next to her left foot is a doll on and some make-up brushes.
If this week’s image inspires you and you wish to participate, please write your post, use the tag #FFFC, and link back to this post. I hope it will generate some great posts.
Please create a pingback to this post or manually add your link in the comments.
This, That, and the Other 
Joanne always wondered why the book on her lap never matched the book in the mirror

I see a young girl looking in the mirror wanted to be loved, wanting to be held, just wanting to belong in this hateful, cruel world.

It’s a confusing world out there for those transitioning from childhood to young adulthood.
