Delve behind bars for this month’s Writing Challenge!
Each month, The Poisoned Martini presents a photo to spark your creativity. Such images, because of their visual nature, vividly speak to writers and spark ideas for writing. View the image below and write a scene, a short story, a chapter, a novella, or maybe even a novel. Consider what the image means to you, what it reminds you of, or explore what it could be. Ponder what you see and then put pen to paper of finger to keyboard.

Put yourself in solitary confinement and force yourself to write inspired by this month’s scene.
