Friday Fictioneers

Hello all!  Hooray for Friday!  I’m excited.  Being rather exhausted today for some weird reason, this one is kinda of silly :) but I love it.

“How do you like it?  Go on, say something!”

No one spoke, too stunned by the turn the world had taken beneath their feet.  Or rather, above their heads.

“This is what it looks like!” the voice raged on beneath the clouds which looked like a fishbowl from under the water.  ”Day in, day out!  And you wonder why we have a three second memory!?”

Finally, someone on the balcony next door piped up.  ”I think it’s rather pretty!”

“How da-  Oh look, food!”

The voice disappeared.  Annie wondered whether the news would even report the great goldfish invasion of 2012.

  1. Goldfish invasion… there is originality! Like the comedy here – I was also a bit confused but the last line certainly made me chuckle.

    that was a “bowel”ed one!

    very good take with a fun twist

  3. Well, well, this certainly turns the world upside down doesn’t it? Fun read and one I enjoyed.

    That was very silly and a lot of fun. I definitely thought of water when I saw the clouds but to turn the tables like that was awesome.

    Thanks for stopping by and I’m glad you took a class on supervolcanoes! The station names NGB and WTB are based on locations in Yellowstone :-)

    That was great work!!

  6. My initial take was that the goldfish had turned the tables (or the fishbowl) on the owners so they could see what life in the bowl was like.

    An interesting one. Liked the goldfish.

    I had a tough time envisioning this… But I think after a few reads I got it and I hope I got it right… So the sky is on the feet and the ocean overhead and people are in a fishbowl like thing with oxygen? Or is is that someone drowned in a fishbowl like thing?
    Sorry if I made a mess of this!

  9. I’m with Rochelle. Also a little confused. A goldfish invasion? Hm…who’s eating lunch? Regardless…it is a cute story. I’m #29 this wk.

  10. Now I’m trying to picture this one. Are the goldfish talking? Pardon my confusion. But it, if I read t his correctly, the invaders became lunch? Cute.
