the mother ship beckons

to me it looks like a smiling whale. it is the misti-fier i ordered a couple of weeks ago but i'm too lazy to install the whatever has to be installed in it. i was told all i need do is pour water into the thing then some drops of essential oil in the little thing inside the thing, turn it on and le voilà. i ordered it specifically to ward off the smell of cannabis that filters into my living room every time my asshole neighbours go in their balcony to smoke. but i just couldn't muster the effort to connect it. same with the security camera. it's too complicated for me to fiddle with. plus, i don't need the security camera when i'm always home anyway.

a few weeks ago, i responded by way of comment to @marlboromaam mags' blurry post. she started a story and i couldn't help it but put in a continuation. it was similar to the exercise of my old writing group where one would start a paragraph of a potential story, then all 10 of us in the group would write a continuation based on our perspectives. sometimes the story twists to science fiction, to drama, to comedy and mystery thriller. none of mags' commenters picked up on it, but i have had a story idea spinning around in my head for quite sometime, and as usual, i was lazy to put it on paper. until mags' post. so i continued it on my own and i've written almost 4,000 words already. but i had to stop because as thrilling as it was to write, the story is quite turning into something trashy hot like 50 shades of grey. my bestie tells me to continue because that's the part she wants to read. if i continue, i would have to change the names of the characters because when i'm writing and the word flows, i just use the names of people i know and i can't let anyone read it. i might change the plot altogether so it would not be Xrated. 😂i might be excommunicated by the church if they find out i write things like that. the seniors might have a heart attack!

-o0o-

shoot some bodyscapes; that's the theme being tackled this week by the five plus two people. i opted for something incredible 😜. see here: https://365project.org/fiveplustwo/365/2021-02-10
I can totally see Moby Dick here! I really like the simplicity of this shot.

or the seniors might be interested in being editors... just saying...
well, I had my attempts to writing, and I got into stuff like that, and it got me into some trouble, but the sweet kind of trouble ;) So, my advice: go ahead. A treat might be at the end of that.

Oh, I got carried away. A very nice abstract photograph you've got here. Very nice.

Ha! Beautiful detail and totally had no idea what it actually is!
February 11th, 2021  
it does remind of a whale!

You are funny!!! Maybe Netflix will come knocking on your door for the production rights!

That made me laugh. I can just see all the pensioners crowded round your book. Probably not as shocked as you'd imagine. I worked in a care home for a while and they loved a bit of 50 shades 😂.

Definitely a whale although not sure he’s smiling

Actually reminds me of the creature from 'Alien' the horror film. It had that sort of snub-nosed snout and lots of teeth. Cool capture tho'. Hope you are well.

@netkonnexion I was just going to say the same. Definitely Alien

I can see the top separating from the bottom, a friend of ET walking out scooping up the bodies of the seniors who have just had a heart attack and carrying out autopsies on them. They would look to see if there was a correlation between your story and their age to see what induced their morbid state.

It does look like a smiling whale!

Definitely a smiling whale.

It surely looks like a whale. How cool! I just love your narratives! 😂
February 11th, 2021  
Beautifully simple subject photographed perfectly for the black-and-white challenge. entertaining narrative as always and I would love to read the story
February 11th, 2021  
A lovely view of the object, with the patterns. I couldn't identify what it reminded me of until I read your comment and then "a-ha!".
February 11th, 2021  
I have also thought about Alien. I love light
February 11th, 2021  
I too see the whale.
February 12th, 2021  
I see a whale! Your narrative makes me laugh. Keep writing, change the names, ... :)
