At Headway, the Day Centre I Attend, we had a Creative Writing afternoon. Fairly 'Free Form', we needed to include- at least- two Places and two 'Characters'/ People. I wrote the following, that made them smile...…
"So the 'INTERCONNECTOR' is ready then?" asked Paul, with surprise. "Ok let's Try It Out" "Tom Suggested Ancient Rome, or maybe, The Aztecs though I would like to see The Colossus Of Rhodes myself" commented Sally.
The group continued, the construction of the 'Time-Space Manipulator'....Time Machine in Layman's Terms. Soon Paul, Tom and Anne were in TROY! "How the Blue Blazes did we get here, this isn't ROME!" asked Tom. "Beats me" replied Anne "I'm Certain that I gave you the correct Co-ordin....Oh Heck! 27-43-51 NOT 21.....Sorry Peeps" "Anyone want to meet Helen Of Troy.....Just a thought, let's get out of here!" "Sorry No Can DO that for, at least, half a hour. The 'Megga Packs' have to Re-charge first".
Half An Hour Later
"Well this has been, how can I put this Politely...Boring! Can we GO now please?" "Ok and I've Double Checked these, '32-34-87, Poke 43 and 27" said Anne." "Stand By everyone" said Tom touching the Controls.
So it was that THEY WERE ALL eaten by Lions, having Materialised in the Area.....Still at least they got to Rome!
I raised a few smiles, when I read this out, and I hope that I have, managed to, do the same here. Maybe we could start a 'Story Telling Forum', a good idea or no?
