“OMG touch grass lol!”

I stared at it a little longer before turning my phone upside down on my bedside table. 

It was the lol that did it. It served as a “know offence but…”. That sort of thing never makes sense to me. Why can’t people just say what they mean? I do.

I lay in the dark, but my mind wouldn’t switch off the way the lamp did.

Why ask a question about the multiverse and then get snippy when someone gives a detailed reply as to why, in theory, its existence is entirely probable?

People are weird.

Dear readers, it has been a while. My life has taken some twists and turns lately and my creative capacity has been at rock bottom. I know, I know, that’s a me problem. “Get a blog!” etc. Truth is, I’ve missed doing this and have looked at the prompt a few times and felt… empty.

So please accept this, my entry for this week’s Friday Fictioneers, which I hope you’ll enjoy. Thanks to Rochelle for hosting, and for this week’s photo. And thank you to everyone that has clicked on my blog today for a read or a listen. Click here to read other stories from great writers!

Onwards and upwards, people!

    MrBinks, welcome back! I see the realm of cyberia and its emojis, gifs, and slang as complex as real life, but in a different way. With the abbreviations, it may mean the person is empty-headed, or it may mean they have way overcommitted on reading others’ works to a point where that’s all they can squeak out to let you know they’ve made contact.

    I liked that you changed the picture to greyscale. And yes, the picture looks twisted and angular so metaverse does go along with it. I look forward to reading more from you.

    Nothing wrong about the idea about that metaverse… I’m sure I’ve been there, and back!

    Welcome back Mr. Binks! I like what you did here. People are very weird online, I agree. I miss the old forums that were confined to people with interest in the topic and discussion.
