This Creativity Post is a bit more generic than most, as it\u2019s less a specific idea and more of a vibe\/tone I\u2019d go for in a story or stories. I think each pic could be a stand in for its own story.<\/p>\n

Plus, I thought that they were cool and a neat way to end Summer\u201926 Creativity Posts as we go into the fall and spooky season.<\/p>\n

I like that each one has the empty quietness to it but in different locations.<\/p>\n

Pic 1 is somewhere in a local small town.<\/p>\n

Pic 2 is somewhere in a city on the wrong side of the tracks.<\/p>\n

Pic 3 is a backroad somewhere woodsy. Though it does have too many streetlights to be a full-on backroad I suppose.<\/p>\n

I think one story would be someone driving home trying to get ahead of a big storm coming. Could be any season but winter.<\/p>\n

While another one would be someone traveling a far distance and getting stuck in the fog. It might be a \u2018race against the clock\u2019 theme too so they have no choice but to keep going.<\/p>\n

One idea would be to make a fog focus story while another would be to make it as just a scene out of a much larger story.<\/p>\n

That was another reason I selected these ones because of their versatility. It allows me to go in various directions while keeping each story from feeling the exact same.<\/p>\n

Or at least that\u2019s what I would be going for and trying to avoid.<\/p>\n

These could also be used to help flesh out other ideas I\u2019ve had but where still lacking something. By combining them that could lead to other ideas that wouldn\u2019t have been thought up if they remained separated.<\/p>\n
