A Magpie Tale of Three Sisters
Smiley wanted to go ice skating. Her evil sister, Sneaky, agreed to go with her because she planned to push Smiley onto thin ice, where she would surely crash through into the deep lake and drown. Meanwhile, their little sister, Tiny, tried to figure out what she could possibly do to stop the much larger Sneaky from killing her beloved Smiley. Digital cameras would not be invented for a hundred years, so their father, who was taking their picture, wouldn’t know about the evil plan until the photo was developed and it was too late. Much too late because, by then, Sneaky had left town, leaving no forwarding address, and Tiny hadn’t stopped weeping long enough to tell him what she had suspected. There would be no justice; there would be no revenge.

SO creative, Kay! Isn’t it amazing how important the names are to the plot? I had a closer look at the photo and could see that you were very discerning. Funny thing is that most people have a Sneaky, Smiley and Tiny in their lives.:)
I don't know if I'm more sad for Smiley, or Tiny.
Kay, this is right up my street. I really enjoyed this. Evil, conniving Sneaky, what became of her?
Fun Magpie.
There, that's better.
Everybody always has such sweet and kind magpies, full of poetry and lyricism and kind hearts; personally, I love a wicked tale.
In fact, if I hadn't thought of the three spinners, I might have invented something similar.
Excellent.
Wow! and LOL!
Now that I've read the story, I can certainly see that Sneaky look. Good thing I always keep my camera in my bag... my digital camera, that is.
Very funny. Clever take on the image. I believe you may have uncovered an uncomfortable truth in Tess's family history.
Oooh! That was wicked fun! Now, I'm waiting for the sequel, to find out what happens next...
I'm the oldest of three sisters .. I want to be Smiley ... OK? Wait a minute, I am Smiley!
Ah, wonderful. I love it!
You have the perfect tale for this photo. I guess I should go see what others came up with.
The fountain I posted is a large and elaborate installation. In part your analysis is correct for this is where the water is collected to return it to the spraying part of the fountain.
Hi Kay :o) I stopped by your blog to say hello and very quickly got caught up in your travels. I've been here for an hour and there is still so much more to catch up on! Its a really nice blog and you are so lucky to travel with your husband. I'm your newest follower, I'll be back soon!

Oh, very clever! haha, I see where you are coming from and you are quite right. The thoughts that were brewing that day! Taking another look on their faces I am now imagining a stink that smiley has released that sneaky is choking over & Tiny is just catching whiff of. I may have to go and re-write something...
Clever piece filled with evil desires, sadness to fill days gone by... nice write!
She does look like she's planning something! Ooh, I wanna know what happens next!

When I was in grade school, I read a story about Squeaky and Squeally, very close to Sneaky....
Your mind works wonders, very well written, Kay.
Very interesting post, I love this picture, it's so artistic!

What a wickedly delicious tale, could be closer to the truth than imagined.
I love old photos like this one, they do tend to inspire the imagination.
Black hearts hidden like black ice? LOL

Oh, this is cute! We actually have a dentist named Smiley in my neck of the woods.

Oooh the suspense, Kay! Well done on the apt names. You had it off pat. You are a GREAT writer and I love visiting your blog. Thanks for your comments on my "blogging" post today. It was so good to see where your connection on the globe is. Imaging: Medicine Hat. My darling hubby says this town name has been used in many a Western paperback and movie. I love blogging because I meet other people who love their animals (and children/grands) like I do. Have a great day and hug Lindy for me. Blessings from Jo
Wonderful story! I work with young soldiers teaching them literacy. Is it okay with you, if I take this in to show them that creative story writing doesn't have to be pages and pages long? It is a great example of a short story that I think they would like. xxx
you are playful.
Kay, thanks for commemting on my "My World Tuesday" house with Christmas decoration still on. You could have posted this post for my "Sepia Scenes" which I post every Wednesday/Thursday for people who like sepia. Go here to see. :)
I love the names. What a creative story. Enjoyed every word of it!
Devilishly sneaky indeed!
I like it!
What intrigue! Love it.
O how fun! Well done...
