Accuracy Is Important

Prompts = Cheer, Comment, Click

‘Cut!’

Everyone turned to see the director, Stanley Rubric, gripping his hair in frustration.

‘You! Blue shirt! What’s that watch you’re wearing?’

The man looked. ‘It’s… a digital watch.’

Stanley’s face contorted. ‘Did they exist in 1969?’

‘No, Mr. Rubric.’

‘No, they didn’t. Imagine the comments I’ll get when my video, this governmental-sanctioned remake of the faked moon landing, features a digital watch? Take it off!

‘Let’s reset and try again!’

The “Houston control room” actors sat down, ready for the click of the clapperboard and the call for “action” to cheer Neil Armstrong’s first words from the “moon”.

Comment, Wine, Burn

One of the things that I enjoy about choosing the daily prompts is that no one feels the need to berate me for not choosing their favourite words. No trolls. Not a single burn directed my way, six comments down, about how I need to put the word “wine” into the mix sometime soon, and tomorrow would be perfect.

And so I’d like to dedicate this story to everyone who reads my daily stories, my creative outlet that allows me to take the number three, add cheese, bake it in an oven, and present a platypus. Or the colour orange.
