It has been a nice ride. But given the lack of interest in our little prompt, the end has arrived. You won’t have #vsspic around to ignore anymore!
But keep writing. There are plenty of things to take inspiration from. Thanks for the memories.

I assume most people are too stupid to write a poem or story to our prompt. I dare you.
Welcome to #vsspic. Our new photo for the week of 9/27/25 is here. Don’t be stupid. Write a story of poem.

No one believed me when I told them the Tiny People waved from the mirror. No such thing as alternate universes. Grow up!
They will learn the hard way. Atoms are tiny. Split them, and boom! I can't wait!

The portal entices me
To go back, back, back
In time before the frack, frack,
Fracking of our world.
Hear the hack, hack, hack—
The wrack, wrack, wrack
Of a nation in steep decline.

It appeared one day. They remarked that it was usually on bends in the road or blind drives, not cul-de-sacs.
A family grew curious and ventured too close—they disappeared.
Home sales plummeted, which was a #catastrophe. The eye in the mirror watched all. #vsspic #vss365

Freeze picture. Go right. Stop. Zoom in. Stop.
Well, holy shit. Right there in the red shirt, walking behind the kids. Tell me I'm wrong, dammit. Tell me that's not Reibschowski. Wait. Oh, my god. If he's still alive? Who else knows we have access to this?

The mirror shows you what’s around the corner.
I guess it’s there to prevent a #catastrophe, like a family standing in the middle of the road being run over.
But it relies on drivers slowing down upon seeing such an image. Not hitting the accelerator like this… #vss365 #vsspic

The mirror reflects
a happy family
but is that it, entirely?
The complexity of life—
one minute lonely
the next
craving privacy.
wishing for intimacy
but also, please
leave me be.
The world
can just be
so very people-y.
Can't I float
out in space,
just me
for ten minutes?
Then back
to the family.

They still had surveillance cameras watching the dissidents, but in calmer areas, they put up mirrors. The kind you would see in convenience stores that went in the corner. These now went up around shuttered libraries where the word pushers and page dealers still slung filthy truths.

Family
A family a lovely family lived down the road
A foggy night we saw them no more
Legend says on certain sunny days
They can be seen in reflective ways
Look to close and you wont see
The lost lovely family
Keep walking but listen close
The family down the road a reflective ghost

Woke up in this place
Where am I?
What happened?
All I know is that my life was torn apart, all I remember falling
Now I wake up autobuses by flowers
With the power of controlling earth
I will seek them
Tonight they will fall
They will pay for what they did

the world is in turmoil-
politics, death & dismay
I’m walking away from all that
creating a safe space to function
creating my own joy
being with the people that love me
be cognizant of everything beautiful
finding happiness in my own world
in that bubble, I feel sane

Don't be sad, your time above is done, but you go on to feed the next generation.
Why wasn't I chosen for the hol'day display?
My bright yellow color would liven the day!
After that's done, they can still throw me away
To feed the next generation as I mulch and decay.

They thought it funny, or perhaps ironic, to desecrate me. I had served my time as the proud 343rd leaf on the tree.
I performed my photosynthesis duties well and when it was time to go, I leaped willingly.
It was beyond mean to call attention to the fact that I was dead. #vsspic

I feel that change—
like a deer sniffing the air
and sensing danger.
It smells of dark evenings
and darker thoughts,
mingled

Shoulda known better. But honestly, the shock of finding life of any kind, much less sentience, on a rock like Belta Gein 8 had us curious. Hell, the offerings seemed so small. Friendly, even.
