Wednesday's Words on a Friday

 

The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.

This month the words/prompts are supplied by Alex J Cavanaugh and can be found here

Here is my story:

"Eureka!" she cried, leaping about with glee. "The mystery is solved! I know what E=MC2 stands for." "Big deal," said Marty, "I know what TARDIS stands for." 

"Ooh, tell me, tell me," said Jean. "You first," said Marty, I need to pass this science test or there will be no TV in this room for a month, Mum says school is more important now that we're in high school." 

"Okay" said Jean, "but just because I know what it stands for doesn't mean I understand it, you still have to help me with my math."  "You dope," said Marty, "E=MC2 isn't math, it's science." "You mean it's not an algebra equation thing?" 

"You should plan for a career in theater," said Marty, "you're hopeless at school work." "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared," said Jean, who had finally stopped flitting about like a firefly. 

"Thanks," said Marty, writing that down. "Now, TARDIS stands for Time and Relative Dimensions In Space." "I'll never remember all that," said Jean, "I'll just keep saying Tardis. What time is Dr Who on?" 

"It won't be on at all if I don't get this studying done," said Marty. "Why don't you trek on across the field and let the others know I won't be done for a while, maybe they'll let you watch Dr Who at their house." 

"Good idea," said Jean exiting the room to the tune of 'Star Trekkin' across the universe' 

(it's a song, find it at youtube), then doubling back to ask, "How's the Psych course working out?" 

"Go away!" yelled Marty, "you're making me lose concentration here." She thought to herself, "just for that I hope those jokers don't even let you through the gate until you bring them brownies."
