Prompts = Curse, Shelf, Plant
Near the edge of the continental shelf, a small unassuming creature had an idea. What if, instead of moving along the seabed, you could fling yourself through the water.
Its first attempts were awkward and drew the laughter of its community. ‘Hey! Lurchin’ Urchin! Swimming’s for fish! Stop goofing off and plant yourself on the ground!’
‘Why should we crawl when instead we could swim! Why accept the curse of our tiny feet when we could jet through the water like eels! Why… ah…ah… ah… choo!!!’
The sneeze shot it backwards three metres.
‘Ooooh — cool’, said his former detractors.
I mentioned another story in the video below. It was “FauxKea”. Here’s the link.
