🇬🇧 I find this writing challenge quite fun and intriguing. Can you add to my flash story, stemming from the same image prompt, with the same constraint of a max of 280 characters, in the comments to this post? Feel free to add in any format you prefer and in languages other than English. This could be an interesting experiment of collective writing!

Sentiti libero di aggiungere in qualsiasi formato che preferisci e in lingue diverse dall’inglese. Questo potrebbe essere un interessante esperimento di scrittura collettiva!
