PICFIC Tuesday Challenge Prompt for May 13th 2014

[mlaw]

Stories for the PicFic Challenge are due tomorrow Tuesday the 13th. The challenge is to come up with your Man from U.N.C.L.E. fic within roughly a 24 hour turn around time. (well you actually have more than 24 hours...)

Posting is due by midnight on the date indicated with the prompt, but if for some reason you're unable to do it in time for tomorrow, you can post your fic the following Tuesday. Just remember to follow all the statistical requirements.

Statistical stuff: Stories a minimum of 500 words (no drabbles) with no set maximum.

Subject matter should fit into the general concepts of this community, i.e. contain nothing explicit and reflect the 1960s series in style and content.  However you may post Gen-Mature as well- this tag is used to indicate a story contains scenes of violence, torture, angst and very mild het. (again nothing graphic or explicit)

Include in your subject header the phrase "For the PicFic Tuesday Challenge", the due date, and of course the Title of your story! Remember to use the tag Picfic AND the ratings tags of either gen or gen-mature.

Here's your prompt...a beautiful skyline with an ominous foregrouns. Hmmm, wonder what you can do with that? Get your creative juices flowing, keep the grey matter strong and be inspired! Write a story!

It is a Tanith Lee sort of picture. I hope you'll excuse my ignorance, when I ask where it was taken.

I usually don't like to say as I don't want to influence people's response, but I don't think too many people will read this here.

It's called Calvary Cemetery in New York, and that's the Empire State building in the background. I believe this is one of the oldest cemetaries outside of Manhattan. Pretty sure both sets of my grandparents are buried in one of the 4 sections of the cemetery. It's too far for me to travel to go there...but I really should ask my cousins (from both sides of my family) where all the grandparents are buried.

I haven't been out there since I was a kid, when my paternal grandfather passed away.

Hmm, Tanith Lee, yeah a little gothic perhaps? :D

Thank you for answering. It looks even better when I know where it is. (Pink Mars sort of Gothic, yes.)
