A wander in the well of words

Greetings all and I sit here wondering what shall I craft today. The answer is not coming so let's go off on a creative tangent and craft a story. Anyway, I'll come back to that in a moment but first up let me express love, gratitude and kudos to Marion, Anna, Allen, Jordan, Jo and Sarah for stopping by on my previous post and sharing the love, comments, likes and shares. You're awesome.


Right, now back to the tale. You know when you're scrapping for ideas for the creative tank you can just look around and see where your imagination might just take you. Let me scour the room right now, we have plugs, a set of scales, a pencil, a cup, a lid, lip balm, watch, phone, speakers. Ok, so right here we've got some ingredients, the plot can be the recipe, we can stir up those ingredients, let them cook away and see what Dr. Imaginstein can put together. Oh, and let's have fun too. Off we go.



Where is it? I know I put it down somewhere and if I need to get this darn thing done just right it's down to me. Right there, on the table. Hard to believe I missed it but here it is. Now, just on the left I've got my scaled armour of platinum, electrum and iridium ready to be powered up. With these new super chargers it takes a mere three minutes. I'm not sure about the purple sparks that are going off but hey the instructions say it's perfectly fine.



I break open the journal and pencil in a few sums and a quick map. By my calculations we will arrive in the cup of fire just out by the Lacturian lip of Harmony. For the uninitiated it's a small cluster of planets out by Torvick prime and I've been studying them for a while now. But this suit of transmutatative teleportation I ordered on Sandlid.org ought to get me there in person.


I coat my lips in a serum of protective gel for the winds can be quite ferocious but the atmosphere is quite breathable. In fact it's almost identical to our planet and I shall be taking my phone to take a good array of pictures for my research. Ok, nothing for it, let's power up and see how this suit gets on.



It fits quite snug. I'm all toasty and warm in here and I hear Star Man playing out softly in the in built speakers. I hit the big blue button on my chest and whoa what a rush. Everything dissolves around me and great rays of blue light whizz by on my left and right side. Straight ahead lies an orange pyramid getting ever stronger.


Stop. The armour peels open and I land on a world of purple sand and a jade sky. I look up and before me stands a humanoid creature about five foot six armed with a pad and a pencil. She sports a turquoise bun on her skull and her skin sparkles like gold marble. She points to a voluptuous building where golden arches peel off to a grand horizon.




"Hi, would you like to order? Just to let you know that quarter pounders with Grand cheese are currently half price and the fries come free."


To be honest I'd just eaten a fine breakfast of Strawberry shortcake, cherries and bran flakes. However, I'm always partial to a milkshake and the one the waitress shows me glows in a harsh pulsating ruby glow. She returns with my order and the volcanic brew scorches it's way into my belly. I have to say, it's the best damn shake in the whole galaxy.



And there we are, one piece of nutty imagery put together in oh, what, half hour or so. So, right there is a little tip. If you're struggling for ideas look around you and put those things together in whatever way you wish and let the words crash together. I'll be honest I won't be doing anything with the tale above but I will say I had good fun writing it.


So, today's post is complete. Have a glorious day and remember everyone...keep reading.
