#vsspic was a weekly photo prompt for poetry & micro-fiction that no one cared about. So it died. 😵 Final host team was: Migs, Jami, Jana, Eileen and Natalie

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.

Sometimes, roads remember what drivers refuse to learn.

I should’ve known better. But I’d been driving since dawn, chasing a shortcut I swore I remembered from some trip years ago.

The asphalt narrowed, the trees thickened, and my GPS spun its little blue wheel like a magician stalling for time. A mile in, the pavement gave up entirely. Gravel, then dirt, then something that looked more like a deer trail than a road.

I slowed, muttered, “Maybe it connects,” because people like me always think we’re exceptions. The trees leaned closer, and I swear I heard them snicker.

When the ruts ended in a wall of brush and silence, I sat there, engine ticking, pride burning hotter than the radiator.

On the way back, I noticed a sign in the rearview.

*It said Dead End, stupid.*

A mirror on a wooden pole
Placed opposite your drive
So, when you join the busy road
You'll probably survive
