The idea is that the figure is waiting for a phone call and the phone does not ring. This was set up on the floor of my apartment, and an on-camera flash was used. Cropped, adjusted levels and contrast on Photoshop.

Too much of the wood in the bottom half of the photo. A bigger problem is that the stick figure doesn't convey much emotion -- certainly not the agony of waiting for a phone to ring, a phone which is 2/3 the size of the figure.
The idea is cool, but a bad photo. Direct flash is just terrible here and the subjects are so far back that the floor takes over. Sorry! I'd love to see a reshoot if you do one. I give you a 3 for a cool take on the challenge.
