New short story on Visual Verse

I have a new short story online – The Factory Explosion – over at Visual Verse. They asked me to write a short story in response to the brilliant image below by Denise Nestor. It had to be 50-500 words and written in an hour. You can read the full story here.

Visual Verse encourages other writers to submit stories and poems in response to their monthly image. If you’d like to set yourself the same challenge and submit something, go to the Visual Verse homepage where you’ll be able to see all the other submissions and the submit button.

Here’s the image:
