This Week’s Prompt was submitted by Garage Fiction Member Chris:

Chris presents us with an image titled ‘For All That Could Have Been‘ from Noah Bradley’s ‘The Sin Of Man‘.

He has this to say about it: ‘Noah Bradley’s ‘The Sin Of Man‘ is an artist’s project into world creation using images as storytelling, with poems and short stories as supplementation. I use much of his work for my own inspiration, and this particular collection is one of my favourites. This image is just one of many beautiful and haunting pieces from ‘The Sin Of Man‘, and I would highly recommend looking further into his works.‘
