A giant curl of water leered over his tiny boat.
His hand willed the nightmare to stop.
Homeless, he sailed his flooded street to nowhere.

Quite a unique take on tis picture. This creates and entire story in my head. He's homeless, eh?
Poor Soul, I can only try to imagine what it would be like to be Homeless.
This was really good.
A homeless and tortured soul. So few words giving so much emotion. I'd love to read more of this one.
Have a wonderful week x
A weary soul trying ti did himself out. A daily exercise for the homeless. Very moving for me.
Have a god week.
A very moving post, Gemma, I immediately thought of the homeless people in New Orleans after Katrina! Hope your week is off to a great start!

Very interesting take! We don't appreciate what we have until we can't have it, huh?
Another one that made me sad....maybe I'm just having a sad day. But good take on the picture.
Have a great week ahead. Cheers!
WOOT: I love this. I would have never thought to make it a story about being homeless. I love the second sentence. Very well done my friend :) Have a great week ahead :)
This is a good metaphor for hopelessness in homelessness. Well done!
