An article by the Celtic Chameleon about a teacup she found in a forgotten corner, included this prompt:

If you’d like to use this picture/idea as a writing prompt, I’d love to hear your stories.

Dozens of potential topics danced across my mind, holding hands of course, like in that old movie intermission ad.

Hey, does that count?

The prompt lingered in Drafts for a few weeks while I published other things. Then I accidentally found my high school yearbook from 1978.
