			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These images were too perfect to pass up, but too expensive for me to license for just this prompt. Thus, I&#8217;m doing the link thing rather than the &#8216;post a picture&#8217; thing. Clicking is worth your time. Honestly.</p>
<p>In these two images we have the same model, in the same setting wearing the same dress, and yet the mood is completely different between them. Your challenge is to use one, or both of these images as the inspiration for a story or poem. Keep atmosphere in mind as you are writing.</p>
