Wednesday's Words on a Friday
The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.
This month the words/prompts are supplied by Cindi and can be found here.
This week's words/prompts are:
"The year is 2030. The first astronauts have landed on Mars. In a cave they find a single human skeleton and fifteen words written on a wall. What are the words?"
Here are my words:
You were right Mum. Rocket fuel in the speedboat was a bad idea. Sorry, Ben.
and another option:
All alone here. Ship beyond repair. No communication with Earth. Still looking for water. Week 8.

The first is particularly innovative - and made me smile.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; thank you. I do like to make people smile :)
DeleteThe rocket fuel one! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteSandi; glad I could make you laugh. wonder how many other young men might have thought about trying this, and hope they don't.
DeleteWell done!
ReplyDeletemessymimi; thank you:)
DeleteI cracked up over your first one, River.
ReplyDeleteIt appears the days didn't go far into the alphabet in your second!
Take care. :)
Lee; I like the first one myself :)
DeleteThe second is sadder, people don't last long without water and Mars doesn't have any that's easily found.
I am still wondering about moon cycle of moon...
ReplyDeleteDora; I'm not sure what you mean, this is about Mars.
DeleteSo very well done with 2!!!

WWW; thank you very much :)
DeleteFunny how they both have the same tragic ending, yet the first one doesn't seem sad!
ReplyDeleteVal; there's something I hadn't realised. Perhaps because the first one also made you laugh.
DeleteThe first was really funny and the second made me feel lonely for that poor guy.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Patti; I'm sorry for him too, it's a sad thing to die lonely.
Delete"We managed to cure cancer in 1609 but you did not show up in time."
ReplyDeleteSorry. Just a bad moment here. I like your first one :-)
Iris Flavia; I like that :)
DeletePrefer the first one , smiling :)
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; it is funny imagining a speedboat rocketing through space.
DeleteThe first option is amusing. The second had me wondering if the person died after 8 days on mars - it seems a short time to me.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
lissa; I agree it is a very short time and I should have made it longer. I'll change it later.
