Creative writing time

My pal Kdunk, who gave me a lucky dollar to hang on my wall on the occasion of my going full-time on kotte.org, recently posted an intriguing photo to Flickr. As the first commenter notes, “there goes a story”. As a creative writing exercise, what’s your take on what’s going on here? Doesn’t have to be true, just make something up. A picture is worth a thousand words, but I think this one may have a few more in it than that.
