"This is Coden, something wrong"

"This is Dev, What's on?"
"I am indeed walking, but don't feel moving forward at all. The tiles I stepped on, I stepped earlier"
"Tell me the room number and title, you're passing"
He watched the door and said.

Yeah, man! I’m ingenious! Finally, I solved the riddle of nature. Me! It’s been in the scriptures for thousands of years but no one could decipher the words written on the ancient scrolls. No one but me! Me! I know the solution for… everything. Without friction there’s no dissipation. Without dissipation there’s no loss of energy. And no aging as well! No disspi-f***ing-pation, man! I will live forever! But, hey, why can’t I move forward? Holy s*$%§!!!

"Master, I beg of you, impart your wisdom to this unworthy student."
"Ribbbit"
"Master? This unworthy one does not understand."
"Ribbit"

Just behind a nearby tree, two others watched as the new student folded themselves into the same pose as the garden frog. One of them started to giggle, and then clapped a hand over their mouth. "They've completely fallen for it! What an utter dope!"
Then a voice, croaky with age, came from behind *them* "That one is closer to enlightenment in two minutes than you two will ever be. Sit."
They sat.

The old master walked to the new student, and folded themselves into the pose of a frog next to them.
They meditated upon the frog for many hours.

Finally. the master spoke "I am glad you have come. I have wanted to retire for many years. You are now the master here."
The young student looked at him, startled. "Me? But I ..."
"You understand. That is enough. But I leave you a heavy burden. Behind that tree are two students. They are your students now. What is your name?"
They told him, and he fetched down the temple sign, and carved the new name into it.
"One day you will do the same. Farewell, master of the frog temple."
And the old man walked down the mountain and into the clouds.

Argus 14 had been wandering the exposition halls for quite a while. Gradually it dawned on it that people were staring.

At first it thought it was because they had not seen a self-aware mobile intelligent anthropomorphic machine before. Then it saw some other SAMIAMs staring at it.

Eventually it realized why.

It had forgotten to put on its epidermal covering! It was naked! In public!

Then it woke up in its recharging pod. That had been an odd experience. Still, the great exposition started today. It got up.

It was *really* there. The tales of the old witch were true. He had abandoned everything to look for it: Garmehir, the bottomless canyon.

Countless poems were written about it: Of immense riches and lost explorers, of princesses and viceroys.

What is that? A flying fish? It was approaching him at increased speed. Instinctively, he took a step back. He felt the rocks below his feet roll down the cliff.

As he fell down, he wished his future poem was a good one.

Although it lacked the traditions of the earlier incarnations of the city, everyone agreed that this was the grandest.

The city's AIs grew her one day. The only explanation they would provide was that "She is required."
And so she stood astride the River Bridge for many years. Never moving.
One day, her wings began to vibrate, and she lifted into the air. High in the sky, a small object was plummeting towards the city. Many thousands of metres in the air she met it.
And swallowed it.
She landed, and there was a low rumbling sound.
Then the massive figure burped.

The Visitors just hovered there. They did not respond to signals - and the world tried almost everything. Radio, signal lights, semaphore, loudspeakers, mosaics - everything, but to no avail.
Someone tried shooting at them. The bullets simply stopped.
People tried landing on the discs, but vehicles just slid aside, and people slid off.
And after three and a half years, they left.
Six months later, a three metre iridium sphere landed in a park in each city.
We still don't know what happened.

Last night I was looking through the answers for the daily WordPress writing prompt which was the question:

When you think of the word "successful", who's the first person that comes to mind and why?

Several people answered that they thought of themselves and one person said they thought of Elon Musk.

After that I decided to stop looking through the answers because it was just...yeah. 🤦‍♀️

I wrote a short story this morning, based on a #WritingPrompt. It's about a dragon who doesn't know what to do with their hoard any more. I've thrown it up on the blog for anyone who wants to read it.

(It's just a first draft.)

It definitely falls into the Cozy Fantasy genre.

Some of my most effective writing prompts are old book cover art from "golden age" sci fi books. You can imagine the kind of stories these books contained. But, what is even more exciting is to reimagine new stories that turn the suggested tropes and ideologies embedded in such art on their heads!

If this were *your* book series what stories might it tell? #writing #writingPrompt

(art by Bruce Pennington x 2, David Mattingly, David Pattee)

Book cover art without any text, so each painting has relatively uncluttered spaces where the title could go. 

The first is a desert, a rough simple wooden table in the foreground, from the table emerges a human hand, claw-like. In the distance near the mountains beyond the desert an atomic bomb cloud dominates the sky. Some people can be seen running in the distance, and tracks from a futuristic plane landed in the distance.
This second cover is another barren landscape with a sickly green sky. A knight on horseback is followed by his page on a donkey. The ground is littered with human bones. In the center a huge tree with a spine like a human backbone fills the center of the painting. The branches and leaves of the tree form a human brain. The shape is similar to the atomic bomb cloud from the last painting.
An absolute wasteland the sky is red, rubble of a city wiped to the foundations by bombing, in the distance a great red and orange bomb dominates the sky. In the foreground there is a door emerging from the remains of a building foundation near it a human figure lies dying clutching their chest. The door is a portal to another landscape showing green grass and a blue sky. A family (man, woman and two children) stands together there. The man holds a gun. They pose "bravely."
This last book cover art is a barren black and gray landscape and another (you guessed it) atomic bomb. But, if you look closely at the cloud you can just make out the form of a rocket taking off. In the foreground, watching this rocket launch and/or nuclear explosion is a disembodied nervous system of a human body (with a visible heart but no circulatory system) standing arms raised, holding the old-school symbol for an atom over their head like a glowing offering.

"You built a robot cat?"

"It's the perfect weapon! It can cross enemy lines undetected, squeeze into impossibly small spaces, and outrun even the fastest vacuum cleaners!"

"But? I feel like there's a 'but' in here somewhere."

"We made the mistake of equipping it with a laser rangefinder."

"So it spends all its time chasing that around?"

"Pretty much, yeah."
