This is the “Man Going through the Wall” sculpture in Montmartre, Paris, known as Le-Passe-Murialle.

This sculpture is based on a character from the novel “Le Passe-Muraille” by Marcel Ayme.

If you’ve read the book, write another chapter.

If you haven’t read it, come up with a story to explain what this man is doing. Is he running from or running to something? is it easy or hard to get through that wall?

A picture is worth 1,000 words, they say. Maybe they’re right. Let’s show ’em. Take one of these photos — or all of them, your choice — and make a story.

What kind of story would have your character(s) stopping by these places in one afternoon?
