I always had a clear demarcation between “work” and “play”, and, for me, blogging was very much “play”. It had to be 100% fun, I’m certainly not out to be judged a better writer than anyone else.
So I’ve always shied away from competitions and the like, because that adds a level of seriousness which makes me uncomfortable.
Until last night. Someone tipped me the wink to this prompt. The advocate said it was purely for fun, although I don’t know enough to agree or disagree with that. The organisers say they will choose an entry to republish someplace, which sounded eerily competitionny to me.
Anyway I had an immediate idea so I thought “what the hell?”. The challenge was to come up with a 100-word flash themed on the following image:
“Have you nothing better to do?” chided Mrs God, noting Mr God absent-mindedly toying with a ball of plasticine. Anxious to regain some peace, Mr God rose, and strode to his dusty workshop, where he remained for the next six days.
On the seventh, Mr God reappeared. “What have you been doing?”, demanded his wife. “Making a small model. Here”, he showed his wife. “I’m going to call it a ‘world’ and look, I even made some inhabitants – I thought I might play dice with them. I’ll call them ‘humans’.”
“But boy”, he added wearily, “now I need some rest”.
It was a May prompt so I had to write it down pretty quickly, but if anybody out there fancies having a go, they are at http://www.100wordstory.org/photo-prompt/

It does sometimes feel that way! But I think there are things going on that we feeble humans can’t hope to understand…

I loved the idea of a Wallace and Gromitt World, events in stop-go etc.

God made the world in 7 days, what can Mrs. God do it in that time, I wonder? Super flash

True. Maybe she concocted love so that the planet could exist for centuries instead of days.

That was extremely clever and very, very funny! If this was a competition you’ve just won it! 😀

I saw the photo and immediately thought “that’s earth” so it was just a case of concocting something around that.
