Published August 28, 2011The description on the back of card #17 says, “P is for Prue trampled flat in a brawl.” – from The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey. I’m not familiar with The Gashlycrumb Tinies but I assume this is P.
This cannot bode well for young P as she reaches for the saloon doorknob to go beyond the foreboding brick wall. Or maybe it’s worse to stay outside?
What story would you imagine for this scenario? I will send this postcard to one of you who leaves a comment. Just be sure to leave a way to reach you if you’re not registered or I don’t know who you are. Winner selected on Sept. 1, 2011.

There is something about about seeing the back of this small child that just pulls at my heart stings. I’m going to have to check out a book of his artwork soon.
