Fantasy Flash Fiction Prompt #1

The garden gnomes decided to introduce a flash fiction prompt writing exercise on Narrative. We're getting some awesome stories so far, and only two days in. Here's how it works:

• We upload an image taken from Pixabay.
• Writers take inspiration from the image, write a story, and tag it to the Speculative Fiction niche
• Then comment on the original post one word that can be used for the next prompt
• After a week, GGP will choose one of the words and start a new prompt within a speculative fiction genre

Here's the image we used for this week's prompt. Below the image are the stories tagged to our niche so far.
