Hi, it's me again! This is my hundred-worder for Friday Fictioneers
When I was a child I thought the moon was covered in snow. Well,
it is white when it’s bright isn’t it? So I was really disappointed when they went
there and it wasn’t.
I thought the man on the moon was a snowman. I thought maybe we’d go there one day for a skiing
holiday. They could even hold the Winter Olympics there! And ice cream wouldn’t
melt.
But best of all I imagined being there with my friends and bombarding the
earth with snowballs!
I still look up and wish I’d been right. But I’m not.... am I?
.
Yes, you're right. The Apollo missions were all a scam. Armstrong was censured for building an igloo but it was covered up. Makes Watergate look like a playground squabble.
ReplyDeleteAha, I spy a conspiracy theorist!
DeleteOf course you are right - at least it was exactly the way you mentioned till last week, when I came back! You can always catch a Moon-Beam flight to moon you know ! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip - I'll investigate further!
DeleteLOL. Love your style.
ReplyDeleteAw thank you Irene.
DeleteAw, what lovely, imaginative daydreams. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWe all need to daydream now and then.
DeleteIt's fine to imagine things the way you want them to be. Entertaining thought.
ReplyDeleteSomething I do all the time!
DeleteLooking back at the picture after reading this..it does feel like a bit like the moon.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too!! Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteI really like the image of throwing snowballs from the moon to earth.
ReplyDeletenice piece. Randy
Yea,should be fun!
DeleteDear Rosey,
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought the moon was made of green cheese. Lovely use of the prompt.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Now that sounds tasty!
DeleteSo sad that childhood dreams are shattered.. Lovely thoughts.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is.
DeleteLovely piece of writing Rosey and a fantastic take on the prompt. I wish the moon was made of snow too, it sounds far more exciting:)
ReplyDeleteI quite agree!
DeleteA wonderful flight of imagination. I love the wistful tone and the lovely images.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margirene
DeleteIt's a shame that we all have to grow up and lose that childhood imagination. A lovely piece of writing.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I got the idea for this piece from a child!
DeleteLovely images. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat a fun read. Hitting earth with snowballs would be fun--only they would burn up in the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteI would only throw them on cloudy days!
DeleteI was going to mention 'green cheese' but I see Rochelle beat me to it. I read it on the internet so it must be true.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's gonna be a cheese ball fight then!
DeleteI wish you were right, too. That sounds like a lot of fun, Rosey. What a snowball fight that would be! Great, imaginative piece.
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Amy!
DeleteA lovely interpretation of the prompt, Rosie. It's a pity the Apollo missions spoiled so many people's ideas about what the moon looks like. Your ideas were much nicer. Skiing holidays and snowball fights up there would be so much fun - and the man in the moon might come out to play! Highly imaginative and very well written. Millie
ReplyDeleteMaybe the moon landings didn't happen and I was right all along! See you there!
Deletewhat's wrong in still believing that moon is snow covered, i don't think they ever reached there, they only made us believe that they had reached
