Picture prompt for a short story - #4

Look at the above photo and write a story is inspired by it. The story can be whatever length if needs to be. I partly hesitate to put this swap up during November when several Write Now people are doing NaNoWriMo, so I will give it a long sign up period so that those in that month-long project can take a deep breath before they tackle something different, and then I will give a fairly long time to the send by date also.

This is a group swap so it's international and I expect you all have rating about 4.8 [I'll check that] and if your rating is lower I'll ask what happened and decide if you're eligible.

Two partners because why write something just for one person to read it -- you want the world to love it, don't you?
