Photo Mysteries: A Writers' Game #9

And it's another week, so it's time to play our writers' game again!
The idea is that I take Carmi's theme from his photo sharing post on Written Inc., post a photo that goes with his theme, then create a title and a single line from a story that could go with the photo.  After that, it's YOUR turn to post your own titles and single lines from the photo stories in the comments section.
Here are a couple of older posts that show how it's done.  Ready for this week's theme?  Here we go:
The theme is "screens."


Here's my title: Clandestine Ink
And my single line: Harvey hurried to squeegee the ink onto the shirts quickly before Scott returned from break and caught him at it.

Yeah, this is a tough one; I'll admit it.  Anyone up for it?  Give it a try in the comments section.

Oh, and don't forget that today's the LAST DAY to enter my e-book giveaway!  Just click here if you want a chance to win an e-book.

  1. I love this shot - it is so different, and so interesting. No ideas from me about writing creatively about it, though - sorry :(

    1. Thanks.
      My father's small business when I was growing up was silk-screen printing. I still love the smells of ink and lacquer thinner. This type of printing station is a bit fancier than the sorts we used to use, but the idea remains the same and the process of printing has not changed one bit (after the artwork part is done, anyway).

  2. Title: Power.
    First Line: No matter how hard he tried, Phillip just couldn't get his boss to see his latest design for a solar power station.

    On another note you have anotehr award waiting for you.

  3. Rosemary and Time
    Rosemary stepped down from her machine, saw she was surrounded by tee shirts and wondered why she had chosen the 20th century to visit.

    2. And the meatloaf would then be ready by the time everyone got home.

  5. Solar power was my first idea until I remembered the trial paint arrays used at one time by ICI in the UK. Well done, Lisa.
