I like images a lot. They tickle my imagina
tion so I often make up little stories when I look at a picture. This is one of those stories, inspired by the photography of Frank Kunert, Das Leben geht weiter.

'Morning, sunshine! Had a good night sleep?
I had a strange dream last night.
We were leaving for a long trip, but we didn't carry any luggage at all.
That's not too bad, if I think about it, but strange nevertheless, you know me and luggage...
The morning was cool and the sky was storm red, but not a single drop of rain.
I had my coffee while standing up and no breakfast.
Don't be mad, but you know I don't like eating alone.
I'll buy a pretzel or something on the way to work.
I promise I won't leave it on the car seat. Again.
I have to stop by the post office and I promised your parents I'll drop by for lunch.
I will also meet with the editor today, the book is ready.
But the fine tuning is a totally different story.
Don't worry, I'm ready to fight for every single word.
Tonight I have movie tickets with the girls and then we'll go for a short concert down by the lake.
A string quartet, your favorite.
So, if all things go as planned, I'll have plenty to talk to you about tomorrow.
Take care.
Hope you miss me.
I brought you the newspaper.

Thanks !
What a great story Anka, it’s and intriguing photo. I love to visit old country grave yards and take photos, on a recent visit I was captivated by a simple little plaque with just a name and “struck by lightning”. It was weeks ago but it is still with me, I wonder about his story, his family, unfortunately I don’t have your way with words and my wondering hasn’t been as eloquent as yours!!
WOW! Amazing story! I looked at the pic quickly before actually reading the story. As I read, I completely forgot about the pic and became engrossed in the story. I knew it would have some form of tragic ending, but WOW! As I finished reading the last line, my eyes fell on the photo and smiled. It was just a sweet ending.
Fabulous Job!!
Thank you so much everyone for the support of Anka's guest post. I know I was blown away with it when I read it and I'm delighted to have her on board! :)
Thank you all so much, I am glad you liked my little story! Hugs from Romania!
