Tuesday – Anything Possible – Kreative Kue #364 by Keith Channing

~ John W. Howell

In Keith’s words. “Using this photo (below) as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; even just a caption for the photograph. Either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keithchanning@gmail.com before 6pm on Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time is where I live, this link will tell you). If you post it on your own blog or site, a link to this page would be appreciated, but please do also mention it in a comment here.

Go on. You know you want to. Let your creativity and imagination soar. I shall display the entries next time.”

“It won’t be long now.”

“Long for what.”

“Till it’s mine.”

“What?”

“You don’t see that big ole thing beyond the trees?”

“The moon?”

“Yeah, the moon.”

“Why do you say it’s going to be yours?”

“Well, the deal has to go through yet, but it’s a sure thing.”

“Deal?”

“Yeah, I bought the moon.”

“You what?”

“I bought the moon and got a great deal.”

“I’ll bet. What kind of a deal?”

“I traded a guy my deed for the  Brooklyn Bridge and some cash for the moon. The joke’s on him, though.”

“Oh?”

“That deed was a phony.”

“You get a deed for the moon?”

“He promised to mail it.”

“I hope it wasn’t a lot of cash.”

“Doesn’t matter.”

“Why?”

“I printed it in my basement.”

“Figures.”

  1. He bought the whole moon? Does that include all the US, Russian and Chinese hardware on it? Hey! Here’s a thought. There’s talk of restarting manned moon landings. I wonder if NASA et al know that this guy can charge them rent. That is so much a better deal than the square metre of Mars my pal bought in the 90s!

      1. I should think someone with more money than sense would pay rather a lot for the part of the original LEM and the actual flag that was planted on Lunar soil. Probably not as much as he’s paying for Twitter, though.

  6. Too bad he only bought that sliver of moon, eh? Hey, John, I’ll take some of that printed money, if you have any spares. Just as long as the ink is dry!
    Love the story.

  7. HaHaHa! Delightful craziness, John. I just read an article about people who claim to own a piece of the moon. A guy named Dennis Hope actually sells the pieces. Your post is timely! 😁
