Don't Panic Picture Prompt: February 22

Okay, ladies and gentlemen!  Where are some takers for this challenge?  Is it really that hard?  It's just a measly 500 words or less of whatever you want inspired by the picture!  I even give you a week to work on it.  We'll try this one more time.  Post your blog links or your responses to the picture in the comments by 11:59 pm CST on February 28th.

Here's your picture:
