I saw this glove this morning on the pavement as I walked my son to the nursery. It had rained over night and most of the pavement was dark and damp. 

The contrast of the bright pink against the grey concrete caught my eye and I stopped to take a photo. As I was standing there with my phone, I noticed that the glove was missing a finger, which I found intriguing. 

How did the owner of the glove lose a finger? 

Was it just the glove, or the flesh beneath?

Did they lose a finger to a dog, or even a wolf?

I’m not a huge fan of creative exercises, so it’s not my habit to tell people what to do with these prompts. There are lots of options – a scene, some flash fiction, a short story, an idea for a short film or a physical piece of art. If you do have a go with this one and would like to drop the result in the comments please do so. I would be very interested to see what people make of these so please do link to blog posts or comment below.

If you like the photos featured in these creative prompt posts you may be interested in my latest collection of prints and other things on Redbubble which feature a small selection of my best shots.
