Funny, i've read another belonging short story that was about exactly this :p
You mean someone who posted on this forum wrote the same story? Cuz that could've been me xD I posted the same thing in the main paper 1 thread aha.

And yes, my story is 100% mine, although I was inspired by an anime (TWGOK) xD

The creative was great. I did it right on the spot, as I spent the 10 minutes reading time to plan out on my head what I'm going to write. I specifically chose the boy and the father doing fishing.

wrote like 7 pages, but didn't know how to incorporate the image as a central idea.

I think you'll be ok. I used the image of the kid swinging on the branch too and my story basically revolved around returning to this tree in the future, to generate a feeling of belonging through childhood nostalgia.

I used the tree as a recurring motif. Basically, my story is set in a prison and he's flashing back. So he flashes back to when he's a child and he sees his friend go and swing on the tree and his friend asks him to join him but my persona is too scared and says no. The tree is leafy and green here. Then it goes back to prison etc. and he flashes back to when he's a teenager. So here they walk past the tree again and they ask him to do drugs with them or something and he's sorta hesitant but he still sorta sticks to his values. The tree is now browning. Then back to prison and he flashes back again to why he got into prison. So basically he really wants to belong now and is willing to compromise for that (belonging changed etc.) and he ends up setting fire to a teachers car. The tree is now dead. Back to prison. Nice conclusion etc

And yeah

Do you reckon that's alright for central idea?

I had a prepared one.
About an elderly man in a wheelchair with a motif of 'coldness' running throughout. Some pathetic fallacy shit going on there.

Chose the one of the couple with their feet on the grass. Said it was a framed picture on his bedside table, and turned it face down. He went outside, fucked some shit up, then a flashback was triggered to a certain point- in this case the stimulus picture. I described how an accident occurred on this grass hill, resulting in his wife's death and his paralysis. Some more shit happened, he returned home happy and turned the picture back up. Subtlety woo.

Hope that's enough of a 'central' idea for them.

I just remember books where in a shed and they were his friends.

Gah...I completely didn't see the numbers next to the pictures and forgot to specify which image I actually used. I hope they don't take marks off for that :(.
