It’s time again for you to write the story or caption for one of my photos. This time, I’ve picked a photo of an interesting building I found in New Jersey back in September. So, put your writing caps on and write how the following photo makes you feel. You can write anything, a poem, a story or just a word. Please add your thoughts to the response section below. The previous versions of Your Story are Your Story, Your Story:Blue and Your Story: Country.

This reminds me of Europe more than NJ
I imagine a scene…
An old banker sits before the board… He is losing his eyesight along with many other abilities of his youth but is much to proud to admit this to anyone.
The board asks what colors to paint the building and as chairman the choice is not his alone but he is asked to select the ones he likes. Not wanting to admit his eye sight too poor to see the color card he simply makes an x on two. One for the building the other for trim…
The younger members of the board are shocked for the old man has always seemed so conservative. Still, he has been very successful in life, thus all out of fear of choosing poorly simply agree with the old chairman….
And there it is a pretty blue bank!
Great photo thanks for sharing
Great story. Thanks! 🙂
Once upon a time I would not have understood your story, but that was before my eyes began to fail me.
I’m sorry your eyes are not what they once were… I appreciate the comment however.

It’s almost four, the time for their long-over-due ‘meeting’. A woman -early 30’s, red-brown hair, and green eyes- sits down on a bench, her legs crossed, in front of an odd building. She turned around to look. She rests her chin on her hand and thought about the building to kill time. ‘That’s a nice blue, it blends perfectly with the sky.’ She notes the for sale sign and tutted, cursing her current economic state. But she doesn’t really need it. She’s happy with her current shop. It may not be that colour, but her place has it’s own characteristics. Besides, it’s just paint, if she wants to she can paint anywhere in her place that colour. She pauses her thoughts for a second. ‘Nice idea! I can paint my room’s ceiling, or something, that colour. Note to self, buy paint.’
Too busy with her thoughts, she didn’t realize there was a man, with similar traits, approaching her. “Taylor, what are you doing, smiling by yourself like that? It’s freaky.” he said with thin lips and a quirked eyebrow, clearly not impressed. She gave him a sarcastic smile and just as sarcastically said, “Gee, sis, nice to see you! Long time no see. How are you? How’s the shop running? O, everything’s just fine, bro! Shop’s low on customers, but, well, I’ll manage. How are you?” With an almighty eyeroll and a sigh, he replied “I’m okay, sis. You know I’ll help you if you need me with anything right.” It wasn’t really a question, both would help each other anytime and they know it. A light laugh accompanied with a smile -a real one this time- she said “Aww, Ty, I’m fine, really. And what do you mean okay? Tough week?” He smiled, joined his sister on the bench, and they filled each other in on the things they missed.
Taylor and Tyler Kellerman, on a bench in front of a blue building, caught up on each others lives.
*attempts to whistle* That’s long… Forgive any typo/grammar mistake (or just tell me about it). You remember Tyler? The special agent? That’s his twin sister, Taylor. Taylor, Tyler, meet sethsnap. Sethsnap, the Kellerman twins. Taylor’s the older sibling by a few minutes. I feel like a mother talking about this.. 😛
Anyhow, I decided to use the same character and universe, and will probably continue to do so (with your ‘your story’ posts). What can I say, I like him and your photos give me inspiration. 🙂
Hope you liked it.. ^_^
Wow thanks. I think it’s a great idea to use the same characters. Awesome. I can’t wait for the next story. I’ll be posting another Your Story soon.

Nice photo! This building looks like I’d imagine the original Ikea might have looked in Sweden.
True. 🙂 Yellow and Blue.
hi there. I just loved this bank! Being in New Jersey, I hope it weathered the storm. Where is my story for you…..
Bank Blue
Inside every one of us is a Bank of Blue
It is there, deep down in me and them and you
A little Bank Blue for those rainy days
Where we wander, lost, in the fog, in the haze
Our bank isn’t just blue, its openings are yellow
When you’re feeling down or blue, peer in, call “Hello!”
Windows that only let hope and happiness shine through
Building up reserves of sunshine and serenity for you
Your bank collects gifts and lessons to help you along
It stores the trials through which you’ve passed to know what’s wrong
And when you call through window or door
This inner guardian of your soul holds much in store
It’s door bursts open and from it pours the brightest light
Disapating fear and guilt, sadness or other blight
Your life absorbs the sunlight and hope that you’ve stored within
The inner resolve you’ve always had let’s the healing begin
A vault that hides deep within, secure in the night
Saving the lost treasures of your soul for when you stand and fight
Against the darkness, against the night, against emotional thieves
The Bank Blue holds the secret – it just asks you to believe
Nicely done. Beautiful. I think the bank is fine. It was inland a bit.
We loan to Smurfs.
😉 🙂
It makes me feel like having a tea party with Alice and the Mad Hatter to celebrate this splash of colour!
Yes, exactly! Thanks.
Green would be too gauche;
so instead we chose blue
with yellow trim too.
To mean
the money we hope to share
with you.
Thanks Sandra!!
