Robert, we'll definitely need a story for this one. It is up to you who does the work creating one. Either the individual lucky enough to have this art hanging on their wall will have to make one up on the fly, or you can supply a plausible story. A visiting guest, someone like an MDM or a tigertail, will make a comment about the picture. The host will then of course state who created it and offer up the intriguing title. That will just prime the guest for a series of followup questions on what's actually transpiring in the picture, putting the host on the spot.

If you supply the story, you maintain control on the quality and uniformity of the tale. If we make it up on the fly, you're going to have as many different stories as there are folks looking at it, and the tale will vary in interest depending on the story-telling skills and imagination of the host.

If you would rather just move on to your next project and not be a scriptwriter, a thought: Perhaps on a different thread in the appropriate forum, you could solicit stories from the TC Ohana. You pick out the best one and provide a prize. You could provide some groundrules, if you choose to narrow the story parameters.
