^{Source provided by @freewritehouse}

Welcome back to my freewrite prompt story for this week's A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words. The photo that is the subject of the story spoke to me about a situation about to unfold. Whether it's pleasant or unpleasant remains to be unveiled.

Describe what you see.
A lovely table setting beginning with the first cup of coffee in matching serving ware. A rose-colored small candle rests next to the cup. A freshly cut rose flower with short stem surrounds the cup. Two wrapped dinner wafers round out the coffee.

Describe what you feel.
Elegant and enticing, I can smell the aroma of the frothed coffee. A pleasant dining experience awaits. The rose suggests a future loved one is expected to join the host.

Her name is Rosella; lovingly referred to as "Rose". A young girl not more than eighteen. She anxiously waits on the man she's loved for several years. Finally, the day has arrived. But tonight, a celebration with other important family. Although her own family had voiced their disapproval, she forges ahead with her plans to marry, saddened her father wasn't a part of her life.

Rose plans a quiet meeting with her fiance and future father-in-law.

Write a story or poem about what you think is going on. I leave with you my story below for: A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words - 11/15/24.

You're too late. The ceremony is tomorrow." Jonah flashed a grin.

Extracting his weapon, Matthew hesitated.

"You should've confessed your infidelity, dad!"

Matthew felled his son with one silent shot.

Through the window, the candle flickered beside the coffee.

Rose waited anxiously to celebrate with her fiance and his father.

Pecados del Padre

Bienvenidos de nuevo a mi historia de libre escritura para Una imagen vale más que mil palabras de esta semana. La foto que es el tema de la historia me habló de una situación a punto de desarrollarse. Queda por desvelar si es agradable o desagradable.

Describe lo que ves.
Una mesa preciosa, empezando por la primera taza de café en una vajilla a juego. Una pequeña vela de color rosa descansa junto a la taza. Una flor de rosa recién cortada con tallo corto rodea la taza. Dos barquillos envueltos completan el café.

Describe lo que sientes.
Elegante y tentador, puedo oler el aroma del café espumoso. Me espera una agradable experiencia gastronómica. La rosa sugiere que un futuro ser querido se unirá al anfitrión.

Su nombre es Rosella; cariñosamente llamada «Rose». Una joven de no más de dieciocho años. Espera ansiosa al hombre que ama desde hace varios años. Por fin ha llegado el día. Pero esta noche, una celebración con otra familia importante. Aunque su propia familia ha expresado su desaprobación, ella sigue adelante con sus planes de casarse, entristecida porque su padre no forme parte de su vida.

Rose planea una reunión tranquila con su prometido y futuro suegro.

Escribe una historia o un poema sobre lo que crees que está pasando. Os dejo mi historia a continuación para: Una imagen vale más que mil palabras - 15/11/24.

Llegas demasiado tarde. La ceremonia es mañana». Jonah esbozó una sonrisa.

Extrayendo su arma, Matthew vaciló.

«¡Deberías haber confesado tu infidelidad, papá!».

Matthew derribó a su hijo de un disparo silencioso.

A través de la ventana, la vela parpadeaba junto al café.

Rose esperaba ansiosa la celebración con su prometido y el padre de éste.
