photographs that tell a story

1)The first thing I noticed in this photograph was the water that had flooded the house.
2) I believe that this women is dead, but if she were alive she was severely depressed.

3)Judging by the light present in this photograph the time of day would be approximately four or five in the afternoon.

4)The sun shining threw the windows and lamps which reflected off the water.

5) I would describe the room as gloomy and dark. The atmosphere is depressing and though there is light shown in the windows the room is still dark. It looks like it was lively at one point.

6) The objects on the staircase are her shoes or slippers.

7) No, she is not wearing shoes.

8)Ophelia is a fictional character in the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. She is a young noblewoman of Denmark, the daughter of Polonius, sister of Laertes, and sweetheart of Prince Hamlet.A possible historical source for Ophelia was Katherine Hamnet, a woman who fell into the Avon River and died in December 1579. Though it was eventually concluded that she had overbalanced while carrying some heavy pails, rumours that she was suffering from a broken heart were considered plausible enough for an inquest to be conducted into whether her death was a suicide.

Just as she was turning on the hot water, she herd the phone ringing. She jetted up the stairs in hope that it was her beloved finance. But to her dismay it was an unfamiliar vioce. She asked who was calling and the anymous caller revealed himself to be a police man, and that her lover had been killed in a freak shoe accident. She dropped the phone in shock. She fell to the ground and there she started to weep. She stayed on that floor for the rest of the day, it wasn't until the next morning that the widow decided to get the strength to push herself off the tear soaked carpet. she walks down the stairs slowly, only to find her whole house flooded from the bath water.
