Character challenge and a new video poem

Remember about not having skills but trying anyway? Yeah, here goes again. See what you think.

Ok. So there's that.

Now I have a challenge for you. I'm going to give you three characters, and I want you to put them in a story together. I'm having a really hard time with novel #2, so this is actually me just taking advantage of your creative brilliance, but I'm totally excited to see what you can come up with. And with that, here are the three characters:


So yeah...how would you put these three together in a story?

Very nice video poem.

Regarding your challenge:
It's obvious the wedding didnt happen. Perhaps the groom decided to skip the wedding. Maybe he met a girl at the bachelor party. Perhaps he just got cold feet.

Or perhaps its a story of a father's challenge to accept his daughter's independence. Maybe it was an arranged marriage--a business deal between two huge family-run companies--and the daughter's heart was truly not in it. She played the role but in the end walked out.

Good challenge.

The father promised to be at his daughter's wedding but he's on the run and showing up would endanger her. She's devastated because she thinks he just doesn't care. He's always preferred her younger half sister, a free spirit and rescuer of animals large and small.

A guy's daughter decided not to marry because she's superstitious and saw a dog sleeping with a girl and thought that was a bad omen.

That video was cool! The music box music reminded me of the Clint Eastwood westerns with Lee Van Cleef. I will leave the story to those more qualified (and less tired today :))

Cool video.

On a woman's wedding day she learns that her dog-obsessed sister has been sent to an asylum, placing their father into a depressed state that makes him reluctant to give her away as a bride since he needs to rush over to see how the sister is faring.

Great video.

As for the pictures:
After a previous disastrous wedding, the bride has decided to marry her dog. Her father is finding this slightly hard to cope with. (Before you scoff [love that word] I've read about women marrying themselves.)

Two-headed half-woman, half dog terrorizes everyone. Man slumped down is the guy who did the genetic mutation experiment to impress his one true love, a woman who wears a wedding dress everywhere. :)

The dad turned into the dog right when he was supposed to walk his daughter down the aisle and couldn't morph back. Kindly animal activist found him wandering outside the country club and took him home.
