Seems like I just wrote one of these. Probably because I just wrote one of these.
In honor of election time, the elimination of personal responsibility, greed, war, general stupidity and all things that make humanity … well … HUMAN, I offer you this week’s 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups! The prompt …
…. the line was drawn ….
This creation brought to you by the simple trick of watching my fellow humans go about their daily lives (I include myself of course!). I hope you all enjoy!
The Divine Artist had all the materials needed. Before him lay a pristine sheet of Pure Creation. He had all the colors of Indelible Protean Ink that existed. The PERFECT BEING Plans had passed all the committee meetings, regulation checks, redrafts and re-redrafts. He was ready for implementation.
He took a deep breath. He had been planning for this his whole life. He dipped the Pen of Birth into the first ink jar and carefully placed the nib, started drawing the line to spec, angled just so and …
… sneezed.
Oops.
Well the line was drawn now. No going back.
And thus Humanity was created.
All because of a sneeze … Ouch. Definitely an imaginative take on the prompt.
As likely an explanation for human behavior as any haha Thanks!
Love it lol!
Was fun making it!! Glad you enjoyed!
Ah….that explains a lot! A really original take on the prompt.
I was entranced as I read through but knowing you I thought there would be a kick & goodness me, what a kick! quite appropriate as it’s the hay fever season here. If I came from a sneeze then a great deal is explained!
Haha! One of these days I will have to do a straightforward one and surprise folks
How clever. That sneeze potentially has a lot to answer for.
It is a distinct possibility that the sneeze was the result of malice a forethought
Brilliant – that was absolutely inspired! Says it all really! Loved this!
Thanks! I think it is a fair explanation haha
Very fun. Perhaps very true. Although, sometimes good things come from mistakes . . . but sometimes not so much.
Just imagine if there were also a cosmic tissue involved!
Very much enjoyed this journey with you.
Always glad when they are enjoyed. Thank you
What a great piece of writing. I particularly like the clever way you name things throughout and the best one, in my mind, is the Pen of Birth and then of course, the sneeze…….
I am glad you noticed. I put a lot of thought into those names
With all its flaws, excellent and very unusual!
Thanks! I try for unusual. excellent is just luck haha
Okay, THAT explains a lot!
Doesn’t it just!! Haha
I love this!
Thanks! Always glad when my creations are enjoyed!
LOL! That is great! I too went to the Divine for this prompt but not nearly so lightly. Fantastic piece..
Thanks!! I not sure where this one came form. Divine inspiration I guess haha. Look forward to reading yours!!
Lol. Sounds absolutely true.
And it’s nice to hear God also had to deal with committees, redrafts and all that.
Has to b the case. No way things could be this screwed up without it haha
A fun story and a great take on the prompt.
I wonder what he had in mind before the sneeze?
Thanks! Guess we may never know … at least until the next attempt
Nicely done and an original take on the prompt.
Thank you! I had fun with it!
This makes entirely too much sense…
Very creative and even unexpected take. Well done!
Thanks. Kind of surprised MYSELF with this one
Ahhh, the explanation at last. Nice take.
Thanks! Every once in a while I manage to appear clever haha
