Weekend Writing Prompt #266: This weekend your challenge is to write a poem or a piece of prose in exactly 74 words using the word “Flippant”
Forgive me for the weird pingback, but my computer was giving me a hard time and this was the best I could do.
It would seem odd to everyone else in earshot to hear Frank make a flippant remark regarding the universe and its truths. After all, he was a robot.
Perhaps I shouldn’t have programmed him to have such ability, Douglas wondered as he fiddled with the broken ship’s control panel. He definitely second guessed himself when the mass of metal continued to speak.
He realized the piece he needed to repair the ship and fly again.
And he took it from Frank.
Is this a two birds with one recycled part story? Well done.
