Friday Fictioneers hostess, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields will welcome you into the Friday Fictioneers group if you’d like to take your best shot at creating a 100-word story prompted by this picture. The photo is courtesy of Adam Ickes.
My story is below the photo.
BRIDGE TO INSANITY
“So, Mr. President, you’re having a recurring dream?” the doctor asked.
“Yes. At least a dozen times this past year. I’m walking down a long, narrow, wooden bridge. Ahead I see the pavilion where a peace treaty signing is scheduled. I know they’re all there, waiting for me. But I can’t get there!”
“Why not?”
“Because the damn bridge keeps growing longer with every step I take!”
“And you think the dream means something particular?”
“Of course. And that’s what’s driving me insane.”
“What?”
“It means there’s never going to be an end to war.”

Sandra, very topical and clever… 😉
Thank you, Gerry.
Good one.
Thanks. In all honesty, it is absolutely the only idea I could come up with, and it jumped into my mind when I first saw the picture. So I figured why fight it.
The first thought is always the best one.
Agrees with the Bible. Great!
I was just thinking that same thing as I was writing it. When people talk about “world peace” as if it were something actually attainable, I have a hard time relating, because I know it is totally unattainable until Jesus comes back and takes over total control.
Very good Sandra and I think a clever interpretation of the photo.
Thanks, Gilly. It seemed to be the only idea I could get on this one.
