This week's word is TEPID here's the picture and my offering using the picture and word of the week in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
Amy opened her eyes, relieved to see the tepid sunshine
seeping through the tiny window,
it meant she had survived another day in
captivity.

Have an awesome Monday!

Oh dear, another unexpected ending. I do hope her incarceration doesn't last long.
Bit more serious than your usual offerings..... Good one though. I don't know what I'd have made from that photo.
I know Bee :(
I hope someone finds her too Ron
Me too Valerie
Yes it is a bit more serious than usual AJ, it's just what popped into my head when I saw the picture.
Yeesh. But tepid is one of my favorite words.
Oh scary ..
So sad a tale, but she seems to yet harbor hope, which is a nice positive twist. Great MF.
Well glad you liked at least one word saw ;)
Yes I suppose it is Daryl
You've told a lot in a few words. I'd love to see this one turned into a longer tale.
You're right. We are on the same page. And I like your use of 'tepid'. Think our girls are in the same house?
But perhaps she deserved her fate?
PS I see you've changed your blog template. Very jolly and bright.
I think there's a definite story behind this Grandma ;)
Thanks Monica. They could be in the same house, maybe prisoners of a serial abductor?
Possibly Dumdad. Glad you like my new template. :)
Wow! I didn't see that coming!
Whoa! I guess a luke-warm sun would be something to look forward to if you were being held captive...? ... ...*hair raises on arms and back of the neck* I'M GETTING CREEPED. Sorry, I'm outta here! *quietly backs out of blog, then runs!*
Alright then, so why is she in captivity? Is it a prison for crimes or a prison of abduction?
Inquiring minds wanna know!!
Oh, poor thing. This deserves a longer story.
Ooh, wonderfully creepy! I hope the Criminal Minds squad is on this right away.
Oh poor Amy! Hope she escapes soon!
As soon as I saw this picture I saw doom.
Poor Amy, when will be her day for rescue?
..
This does look like it might be the last place someone would look. Great take this week!
uh-oh...that sounds like a scene from an awesome thriller...
I hate to think what it must be like inside.
Ah that was my plan Mama Zen :)
If one was incarcerated it might be the only thing to look forward to Sparkle Farkle :)
I leave it to your imagination Linda ;)
I guess there is a longer story in there if only I could be bothered to write it storytreasury ;)
Glad you enjoyed it Pat
I hope she does too Helen!
Who knows when or IF she will be rescued Jim? :0
Thanks Susan x
Could be Melanie :)
Hardly the Hilton I would think Cheshire Wife ;)
What an interesting take.
Sad. Sounds like a good opening line for a novel.
