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. 😉
Last week I watched all of the Netflix show
Warrior Nun. It's a strange little show about nuns with swords who fight demons. Have you seen it?
Anyway, I'm borrowing again for this week's question. . .
What if you acquired something that belonged to someone else (through no fault of your own), but if you returned that item, it would mean your death (probably)?
I think that would be a good time to discreetly get rid of it...
ReplyDeleteMaybe I would leave the item by their front door in the middle of the night.
ReplyDeleteSeems simple enough. I wouldn't return it then.
ReplyDeleteI would lose it very quickly!
ReplyDeleteMaybe. Maybe not.
DeleteI would hope it is something I could mail and then not have a return address on the envelope or package.

O, I wouldn't return it. Just leave it somewhere where it could be found by the owner.
ReplyDeleteI’m keeping it. I would Not want to get rid of ruby slippers or a flaming sword and would try to even use its powers.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you.
