I'm trying to write a short piece of flash fiction everyday from whatever pops into my head at the time. It'll mainly be rambling unsubtle crap but hey, at least its something right?

Merry-Go-Round

Walking round the merry-go-round, it spins and spins and the world falls down. That was a shock, let me tell you. But standing here, face to face with the flatpack of reality without an instruction booklet, you just have to wonder a smidge if you can be arsed trying to pull the walls back up to their regulation height. It seems a little pointless, wasting all that time and effort just to watch them crash back down again after a couple millennia flash by.

Examining the line of the plaster won’t do you any good, the construction of the walls themselves aren’t what’s at fault, rather it’s the foundations themselves that seem to be poorly put together. And what can you do about that, in the grand scheme of things? I don’t particularly know the answer to such a conundrum, which is rather vexing let me tell you, but I can guarantee to myself that the plaster’s condition will not be a great help in discovering it.

Oh well, sometimes you just need to get on with it. Better put my back into it this time, might help them stay up that little bit longer. But then again, maybe not.
