FF – What Could it Be?
Here is my story (not really a story) for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by David Stewart.

What could it be?
An alien landscape, strewn about with energy pods, throbbing with power.
What could it be?
Alien eggs, ready to hatch, stereotypically blue for males and pink for females.
What could it be?
A triumph of modern art, the culmination of a lifeโs work made real in stark neon colours.
What could it be?
Futuristic travel pods, each containing a single life form.
What could it be?
Stomp stomp stomp KICK!
One of the ovoids sails though the air, flying straight through the centre of the distant circle. Cheers abound.
What could it be?
One-nil, apparently.

The newest idea for the superleague? One ball isn’t enough any longer? This was fun!

When there’s only about one team left, they can have as many balls as they like ๐

Alien Egg Ball. It might have been a nice replacement for football if The Super League lasted more than 24 hours.

I am going for modern art and it should be added that the reductive quality of the negative space contextualize the eloquence of these pieces.

Very witty, a great story. I like the repeated question, mad me think ‘what could it be?’.
