Another week, another One Panel VSS challenge! My prompts were “book” and “smell”. Why am I always making things grim?

Weekly disclaimer/explanation: For those new and/or unfamiliar with my #OnePanelVSS, it is purely a writing exercise. Like sketching for your prose muscles. Use the image to come up with whatever you think is happening. No need to use my prompt words in the writing. But I would love to see what you come up with, so please tag me on social media! (I’m paintmonkeyart on Bluesky and Instagram and Paintmonkey Studios on Facebook.)
Have a great week! Be safe? Hate a fascist!
