Prompts = Crew, International, Bell
Story 1 — An Important Announcement
Commander Bell assembled the crew of the International Space Station for an announcement. Minutes later, three curious people and a robot nicknamed Robbie floated in zero g.
‘I’ve called you away from your important tasks…’
‘My tasks are completed, Commander.’ The robot’s face flashed when it spoke.
‘Thank you, Robbie.’
‘Julia would have finished her tasks had she not slept.’
Julia was outraged. ’Five hours in the last forty-eight!’
‘Yes, thank you everyone…’ Bell tried to calm things down. ‘That’s why we’re here…’
‘Am I being promoted? Are you humans leaving?’
‘Yes.’ Bell felt deflated.
‘Thank God’, Julia muttered.

Story 2 — Obnoxious Barney

I went to the opening party of the newest store of the international retail sensation, Obnoxious Barney. Let me tell you it’s an experience unlike any other.
The stores are like a mix of J Crew and TGI Friday’s with a dash of Las Vegas stage show thrown in for good measure.
There’s a bell all the cashiers ring for each item purchased and it rings all the time. Not that you can hear it; the music is always pumping.
And the clothes! Ghastly! But no one shops for the fashions. You go to be seen buying!
