November 2011 – The Sphere

So here we have the picture for this month, I call it The Sphere. (That certainly requires a leap of logic doesn’t it?)

I thought for this month I’d try something considerably less emotionally charged than the last two. It’s quite easy to work from concepts like “sad” or “creepy” but this is just a curious inanimate object, what will your fevered brains make of this? The picture itself is one that I either took or was standing next to the person who did, I cannot quite recall which. I won’t tell you where it was taken, although I suspect some of you readers will instantly recognize it. For those who don’t have the foggiest I don’t want to taint your perceptions with piddly little things like “the truth” or boring old, musty things like “facts” they just get in the way of good old-fashioned writing.

So with the picture at hand let’s spin up the word lathes, set the paragraph saw a-thrumming and stalk out into the workshop of glorious fiction.

Ali George – A story I think is best describes as “time travel shenanigans”

Andrew Blair – Trans-temporal sport based shenanigans.

The Rogue Verbumancer – It is not dead, but sleeping…
