Generally, I find it tough to write with prompts that involved actual people or their faces, that’s why I tend to keep it vague and mysterious when I write a character, especially for a short tale where I can’t include a back story.

I think this is probably the toughest prompt I’ve taken part on for the TLT series. I hope it stays up to the mark!
