RE: The Chronicles of Karate Joe - Episode 1: Ball Winders (short fiction for #freewrite prompt "ball winder")

in Freewriters2 years ago (edited)

Oh! That story about the glass eye made me laugh so hard. Something about the way you related it 🤣

I'm glad you kept reading. I don't know how the prompt "ball winder" got me to cybernetic eyeballs and time-travelling secret agents, but there it is. Freewrite prompts can stir up all kinds of weirdness in the psyche.

It's good to see you @carolkean! Thanks for stopping by. I'm just jumping back in here on Hive, we'll be seeing more of each other I'm sure ✨

I laughed so hard when my mother-in-law told the story, and she didn't seem to get why it was so funny. Just another day in small-town Nebraska!
I'm now reading The Cornbread Mafia... the ebook was on sale for $2. Set in Kentucky.
Good to hear from you too, and I do hope to see more of everyone -I fell off the face of the earth and have been trying to hitch a ride back. Hmmm, those Chinese spy balloons might offer a foothold... or not!

Her not understanding why it was funny is almost as funny as the story itself 😆

So you were on hiatus too? I see. In that case, hail, fellow traveller, and well met!

But yeah, watch out for those spy balloons 😁

Yes!!

Her not understanding why it was funny is almost as funny as the story itself 😆

This is why Leslie Nielson is so hilarious in Airplane and the movie where O.J. Simpson goes down the stadium stairs in a wheelchair (Naked Gun).

Of course I am embarrassed to confess that I laugh every single time I see this. It makes no sense. I hate violence and suffering but THIS makes me laugh, because, WHY....
