you write 150 words or less as a book blurb based on the picture.
My book cover is below and comes in right at 150 words.
Sands of Time
It was an ordinary day at the beach for Sal. She dared to
dress in a bathing suit just to save her kids from a treacherous wave if need be.
Her heat-treated hair was brittle; her belly fat rolled like segments of a
caterpillar inching south. Due to a lumpectomy her breasts, no longer a matched
pair, wrinkled like prunes but at least the number was still two! She strolled
across warm sand stretching elastic over dimpled butt cheeks. Then she saw the sand
sculpture.
Something about the indigenous face wrapped in a sand chain and
hugging a huge clock stopped her dead in her tracks. The figure was a cosmic
message, a proverbial slap on her own forehead calling her to face life. Suddenly
she knew change was coming, that time was running out.
How would Sal face tomorrow morning and the day after? An
ending, beginning, or both?

I would read this book in a heart beat. But you knew that. I am hopelessly addicted.
Claudia--You made me realize I did not give my "book" a title.
I loved the prune pit.
Later tonight, I am going to try to "pretend" I am you, so I can add your name via the Mr. Linky. (It's easy to do, if you want to do it yourself. You'd be joining great company. Lynn did it, too!)
Thanks for playing along.
Heh, heh! Great minds and all that...we not only have the same character name, but the full 150 words.
I loved the southbound caterpillar belly fat!
This is really good!
Book blurbing is fun! Love your take on this photo, Claudia!
You all are so much more detailed than I even think about! Nice blurb!
I love that you got so much detail into this in so few words - that really IS an art!
