#vsspic was a weekly photo prompt for poetry & micro-fiction that no one cared about. So it died. 😵 Final host team was: Migs, Jami, Jana, Eileen and Natalie

It has been a nice ride. But given the lack of interest in our little prompt, the end has arrived. You won’t have #vsspic around to ignore anymore! But keep writing. There are plenty of things to take inspiration from. Thanks for the memories.

I assume most people are too stupid to write a poem or story to our prompt. I dare you.

I should’ve known better. But I’d been driving since dawn, chasing a shortcut I swore I remembered from some trip years ago.

The asphalt narrowed, the trees thickened, and my GPS spun its little blue wheel like a magician stalling for time. A mile in, the pavement gave up entirely. Gravel, then dirt, then something that looked more like a deer trail than a road.

I slowed, muttered, “Maybe it connects,” because people like me always think we’re exceptions. The trees leaned closer, and I swear I heard them snicker.

When the ruts ended in a wall of brush and silence, I sat there, engine ticking, pride burning hotter than the radiator.

On the way back, I noticed a sign in the rearview.

*It said Dead End, stupid.*

A mirror on a wooden pole 
Placed opposite your drive 
So, when you join the busy road 
You'll probably survive

No one believed me when I told them the Tiny People waved from the mirror. No such thing as alternate universes. Grow up! They will learn the hard way. Atoms are tiny. Split them, and boom! I can't wait! #vsspic #fiction #microfiction

It appeared one day. They remarked that it was usually on bends in the road or blind drives, not cul-de-sacs. A family grew curious and ventured too close—they disappeared. Home sales plummeted, which was a #catastrophe. The eye in the mirror watched all. #vsspic #vss365

Freeze picture. Go right. Stop. Zoom in. Stop. Well, holy shit. Right there in the red shirt, walking behind the kids. Tell me I'm wrong, dammit. Tell me that's not Reibschowski. Wait. Oh, my god. If he's still alive? Who else knows we have access to this? #vsspic #WritingCommunity #halfbadpoetry

The mirror shows you what’s around the corner. I guess it’s there to prevent a #catastrophe, like a family standing in the middle of the road being run over. But it relies on drivers slowing down upon seeing such an image. Not hitting the accelerator like this… #vss365 #vsspic

The mirror reflects a happy family but is that it, entirely? The complexity of life— one minute lonely the next craving privacy. wishing for intimacy but also, please leave me be. The world can just be so very people-y. Can't I float out in space, just me for ten minutes? Then back to the family.

They still had surveillance cameras watching the dissidents, but in calmer areas, they put up mirrors. The kind you would see in convenience stores that went in the corner. These now went up around shuttered libraries where the word pushers and page dealers still slung filthy truths. #vsspic

Family A family a lovely family lived down the road A foggy night we saw them no more Legend says on certain sunny days They can be seen in reflective ways Look to close and you wont see The lost lovely family Keep walking but listen close The family down the road a reflective ghost #vsspic #poem

Woke up in this place Where am I? What happened? All I know is that my life was torn apart, all I remember falling Now I wake up autobuses by flowers With the power of controlling earth I will seek them Tonight they will fall They will pay for what they did #vsspic
