FF – Twisted

Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Brenda Cox.

It could happen anywhere. At any time. To anyone.

It had started two years ago. The folding of the fabric of reality. Nobody really understood it, not even the scientists, though everyone unanimously agreed that “something had gone wrong somewhere”.

Look at that poor cyclist. Riding along, minding their own business and suddenly they’re at one with the wall. What a way to go.

It’s not always fatal. One time, a prominent politician got so reconfigured he ended up literally talking out of his ass.

No-one noticed for a month.

The world’s always been a bit twisted though, I guess.

    That would be a strange reality indeed. And I can’t stop laughing thinking about that talking out of the ass part 😂😂😂

      It’s not going to be easy to identify the poor cyclist, I fear 😦
      It’s good that these happenings don’t ruin everyone’s careers, though 🙂

    “No-one noticed for a month.” That’s perfect.

    Ali,
    LOL. This “folding of the fabric of reality” thingy explains so much! But did it really start just two years ago as far as politicians are concerned? Aargh.

      Maybe there was a critical mass of politicians somewhere which caused the whole thing 😮

    This photo prompt was more challenging than most, imo. You did justice to it.

    I’ve pondered long and hard regarding what I would like to be at one with. Perhaps a Labrador, or maybe a Harley-Davidson!

    Humour with a dark tinge. I wonder about the relationship between the politicians and the folding fabric of space-time.

      I reckon a critical mass of politicians, lawyers and the like may have caused it.

    Dear Ali,

    Isn’t that how all politicians are configured? Love your take.

    Funny take again, Draliman. I think it might take longer than a month to realise a politician was actually talking through his arse, though.
