A picture is worth a thousand words, as is often quoted.

How does the picture below speak to you? Perhaps as a poem? Perhaps a roleplay idea? Maybe a story?

Whatever comes to your mind, write those words down! All is well and welcome, whether a couple of sentences or more!

Jake still remembered the day his puppy had come to him in the small box labeled 'for Jake love Grandpa'. He'd been a ball of black and silver fluff then, and barely as big as Jake's lap. Sadly, it didn't take very long to realize that his puppy was not going to stay small for long. His mother and father wanted to get rid of the puppy after only three weeks when it was taller than his father, but Jake had begged and cried and she'd relented.

Still, as the puppy grew and grew it became apparent that it was not going to be able to stay inside. Soon the barn was too small as well, and Jake would crawl out onto the roof to sleep with him through the night.

Jake had called the puppy Zippy because he'd been a fast little thing for a ball of fluff, but as he grew and his markings became more pronounced it seemed a more than fitting name, and even ended up being the design for his future armor as well. Everyone was afraid of Zippy except for Jake. Zippy hadn't ever hurt anyone, or anything but no one believed it. They took one look at his size and cowered away.

Jake though knew Zippy's tender and kind nature and he spent his life protecting his best friend from others who would hurt him before they ever gave the chance to be shown that he was a gentle giant.
