This is awesome, a really, really good spin on a prompt that I only saw as... hmm, painful. I smiled all the way through and had a few thoughts
besides, I had to go to work Monday so yeah, I better swim fast
How very corporate Australia of you but...
and then it occurred to me; I couldn't leave anyway, my powers of immortality were long gone and I'd never be able to swim back up to the surface through the lava
This sooooo does not sound like you. You totally knew that beforehand not weeks later - just sayin'...
Gotcha!!! Hahahah - it really was a good read and a wonderful escape from reality, no matter if ten years old or fifty-two. Always worth it. Now if I could just figure out all that communicating you were doing sounded loads of fun - LOLOL
Thank you for accepting my challenge. And providing the weekly prompts. I may not partake all the time, but I do appreciate it all, a lot!
I'm glad you liked it and to be honest I had some fun writing it. Much of what I had in my head didn't make it into the final cut, and I resorted to terms like communicating instead of the other more colourful words I could have used.
I tbi K, should the opportunity arise, I'd swim in lava down to a world such as I describe without another thought. This world is, well, unwholesome.
I'm really glad you liked this, and thanks for the prompt. I had fun.
