Weekly Writing Challenge: 1,000 Words, Take Two
Your challenge this week is to write a post based on this picture: We see lots of possibilities in this photo:
Who are these people? What’s their relationship? Where are they? Are they saying hello or goodbye? Or something else altogether? Are they just clinging to one another to keep from sliding down the steep cobblestones? Who’s coming/going, and why? Where are they coming from/going to? Are the people behind them waiting for them? Are they happy for the couple, or irritated?
SHE-NON
Yes, let us continue to hold together. Yes, like this.
HE-NON
It is silly, yes?
SHE-NON
Yes, but it is their way. It will give us more credibility.
HE-NON
How do the legs feel? These are still cold.
SHE-NON
These have grown warm already. Don’t be concerned. The warmth will come soon. Remember, I entered the shen-non before you entered the hen-non. It takes time. What a bright idea the commander had for reformatting the mothership into a trolley…trolley…
HE-NON
Trolley car, they call it. Yes, it was. Sitting in plain view. Ya-ha!
SHE-NON
Ya-ha! Do you think the old guy in the striped shirt can feel its magnetic pull?
HE-NON
Not in the least. These people are not sensitive.They only feel themselves. Ya-ha!
SHE-NON
EE-oo…eee-oo! You indeed are crushing my oxygen pack.
HE-NON
Sorry. Better?
SHE-NON
I suppose we look true. Pretty authentic. Ya-ha! No one is looking at us, yes?
HE-NON
Yes. Listen, how long must we stay like this? Have we plugged long enough?
SHE-NON
Hugged. Hugged. I don’t know. The Manual of Do and Don’t, where is it?
HE-NON
On the trolley ship. Shall we consult it?
SHE-NON
Yes, but let us indeed stay together like this in case it says we must spend more time in this position to complete our earth humanization.
HE-NON
Wait!
SHE-NON
What is it?
HE-NON
I see another of us. Alone. Not attached.
SHE-NON
Ya-ha!
HE-NON
Wearing the oxygen pack at the back. Wearing a red top, but don’t turn around now.
SHE-NON
Let us ask how long until complete earth humanization.
SHE-NON / HE-NON
(calling in unison)
He-djfoi icki foilium nuk nuk?
Nice twist.
