At the heart of much speculative fiction (and fiction in general) is a question. What if? On Tuesdays I like to throw one out there and see what you make of it. Do with it as you please. If a for-instance is not specified, feel free to interpret that instance as you wish. And if you find this becomes a novel-length answer, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements. 😉
This week I've got nothing. So, I'm going to "borrow" a question...
What if the power to create worlds was in the worst possible hands? “A fanciful retelling of the creation story with a knock your eyes out twist” https://t.co/eIBRPmgwBU @EJ_Kellett pic.twitter.com/voBvBLxDrG— Laurence O'Bryan (@LPOBryan) February 23, 2019
Obviously, any thanks for any stories generated from this question go to the author of the above book. Credit where credit is due.
Worst possible hands? I imagine Satan would make a big mess of it then.
ReplyDeleteWith republicans in charge, it already is.
ReplyDeleteThen I don't think I would want to be part of those worlds.
ReplyDeletebetty
Oh, gosh! I don't want to think about that.
ReplyDeleteWorst hands as in evil, or worst as in least capable?
ReplyDeleteLeast capable would be hilariously bad, I imagine.
Evil would be painful.
All he said was "worst hands". I'll let you determine what exactly that means.
DeleteOh God....all I hear is Trump’s voice. The horror...the horror
ReplyDeleteThat was my first thought, too, because he'd make himself King of the world with the power to punish and reward anyone he likes. But while the president may be vindictive, he isn't very imaginative, so I'd give worst case scenario to Satan.
DeletePolitics, people? Here? ~sigh~ How tiresome. I should have known better than to read these comments. lol And you'll want to give my blog a skip today, Liz. I shared a really bad pun.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, my husband likes to tease by insisting we live in a simulation. Be well!
Just because I don't write about politics doesn't mean I object to them being discussed.
DeleteYeah wishing I'd skipped as well :/
DeleteNoooo .... I don't want to think of this hypothesis :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a scary one.
DeleteWow...thinking that since I am so NICE, I would not fit into the world that is made up by the worst possible hands....yikes.
ReplyDeleteNice can be used as a weapon.
DeleteHAHA....yes it could!
DeleteWould be unfortunate. Hopefully could life in one already created and left alone.
