Weekly Challenge #1008 – It’s Going Down

August 17, 2025 • 11 mins
Richard Lizzie Tom Lisa Serendipidy Norval Joe Planet Z The next topic is Advance LISA There was a fish in the sky, the sun glinted on its iridescent undersides. Whipped by the breeze it coasted a while on the thermals. We stood in the garden, necks craned, watching it swim through the clouds. “It’s going down” Sue shouted as we ran to the front of the house. It sank fast and caught in a neighbour’s oak tree...

George the artistic

August 16, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. "I think I know what my problem is," said George. "It's a lack of opportunities to express my artistic side." He painted the cannonballs with interesting colors and swirls and lacquers. He designed lush and beautiful sails with vibrant images that came to life in the wind. He rigged wind chimes and other instruments so they'd play a melodic tune with the wind and the rolling of...

George the black belt

August 15, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. He'd practiced for years with his cutlass, but never got any better. That's when George saw an ad for Karate training. He shrugged and signed up for classes. After a few weeks, he got pretty good. He tried Judo and Tae Kwon Do and other styles, too. After a while, he'd earned black belts in all of them. "Here, let me demonstrate," said George happily, and he broke six boards wi...

George and the temporary captain

August 14, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. When the ship's captain was away on vacation, he hired a temp to run things. "The captain warned me about you, George," said the temp captain. "I'll keep my eye in you." So, after their first raid... "Sorry about that stray shot," said George. "But that's a nice eyepatch you've got there." By the time George's captain returned, the temp captain was sporting a new eyepatch, a pe...

George tied in knots

August 13, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. He wasn't good at love, either. Oh, he wasn't bad-looking. And he was always courteous and polite with the ladies. It was just that deeper connection he never made. She'd want him to read poetry or go dancing, and he'd try to teach her how to tie knots or tell the weather from the sea air. One time, he did find a girl who wanted to learn how to tie knots. But she tied him to a ...

George counts steps

August 12, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. He was always pacing the deck, back and forth. "Why are you walking all the time?" the captain asked. "I bought a step-counting smartwatch," said George. "I have to get five thousand steps in each day to stay fit." The captain smirked. "You could always do that by raping, looting, and pillaging." "This is way easier," said George. "And a lot less messy." George walked away, but...

George brings the beach

August 11, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. He preferred the feel of sand between his toes to the wet wooden deck of the ship. So, when the ship docked at port, he hauled sand from the beach to the ship and spread it all over the deck. The extra weight slowed the ship down, and it took longer to catch up to cargo vessels that they wanted to raid. "Fine by me," said George, laying in a chaise lounger on the deck and sippi...

Weekly Challenge #1007 – Cruising

August 10, 2025 • 10 mins
Richard Lizzie Tom Lisa Serendipidy Norval Joe Planet Z The next topic is It’s going down… LISA Come Fly with Me It felt good to be out cruising along, feeling the breeze beneath my wings. Endless possibilities for the day lay ahead. My driver today was old and small. He struggled to see over the dashboard. Our eyes met but I don’t think he saw me stuck to the windscreen. I could hear his music through the ...

George’s smart summon

August 9, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. Long before Elon Musk released "Smart Summon" in his Tesla line of cars, George worked on a similar feature for his pirate ship. George fired a flare pistol in the air, which signaled his ship to drift to his location and pick him up. This made sense when he was standing on the docks. But when he was drunk at a bar a mile inland, well, that caused a whole lot of problems. Saili...

George and the Easter eggs

August 8, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. When he was a kid, his family would paint eggs for Easter and hide them around the yard. Then, the kids would hunt for the eggs. Even though he was all grown up now, George yearned for the innocence of youth. So he painted cannonballs and hid them all over the ship for the crew to find. "ENEMY VESSEL TO STARBOARD!" shouted the captain. "LOAD THE CANNON!" "Where are the cannonba...
