– “Sorry kiddo, we’ll go ride another day. There’s a storm coming.”
The youth rushes to look out the window. Turning to his big brother, he says plaintively :
– “Do you think there’s a chance that the sky will fall on us?”
– “OH? So you did read that French comic book I lent you.”
– “Yes! Do you think they were right to be scared?”
– “No! We had that discussion in philo class. Those Gauls made the same mistake some modern people do. If God wanted to punish humans, he would never use such a global catastrophe.”
– “Why not?”
– “What bad did rabbits do?”

The above short story is an entry to a weekly challenge on WordPress called : Friday Fictioneers!
The idea is to write a hundred words short fiction ( flash ) story upon the prompt that is provided by Rochelle under the form of the above picture.
Thanks then to Rochelle whose blog is found here :

Definitive Lapse of Reason 
I’m afraid I’m terribly confused ….
Probably on account of the forgotten article in the second sentence? But I fixed that and added 1 to the word count too. So all swell thanks to you now 😉
Good day Alicia, Tay.
P.S. Or was there something else? 😀
I don’t get the rabbit idea. Perhaps I’m having a particularly dense day.
Check below 😀
GOT IT!!!! Thanks for being patient …. : – )
YVW, Alicia. Since the big brother was trying to explain something to my 8 yo hero to begin with, let’s just call it keeping in character 😉
Tay.
The final sentence about the rabbits went over my head. What did I miss?
Check below 😀
Hum? I must have been too cryptic. IF God crashed the whole skies on Earth, ALL species would perish not us humans only? And what did they do to deserve such a fate? 😉
Aha! Thanks for clearing that up for me. Now it makes perfect sense.
YVW!
Dear Tay,
Why do I seem to be the only one who understood the rabbit line? Gasp. The sky is falling!
Shalom,
Rochelle
Because in your capacity as a gentle caring boss, you are like a mom to all Friday Fictioneers and thus held to understanding us?
😉 A young mom of course!
Peace, Tay.
Tay, you are so very clever – the sky is falling indeed! Excellent! Nan 🙂
*Blush, blush* Thank you, gentle Nan. 😀
Tay.
Glad I got the rabbit line but then again it might have been religious intuition. Cute story 🙂
Oh, I’m sure you’ll always get a line by me, foxy gal … and if not, I’ll throw you one.
As for cute, that comes easily with a kid as main character and not as much as yourself?
Tay.
It seems you always have something clever to say 🙂 I do believe I could never be as cute as any kid especially in a fictional space.
Tay, I suspected that part about the rabbits involved them being innocent and found I was right. Good and well-written story. 🙂 —Susan
