My Cousin Jay gave me this first sentence. I wrote for 5 minutes and this is what I got.
Michael rowed his
boat ashore, except this wasn't Sandusky, Ohio.
“Where are we?”
The mermaid sitting on the bow glanced around. “I thought we were in Ohio but this
might be Paris.”
Michael jumped
out of the boat and the ruby red ocean turned into a busy city street lined
with cafes. Cars honked at them
and drivers leaned out the windows cursing in French. The Eiffel tower loomed overhead.
“I don’t think this is Ohio.”
“You got us lost again?” The mermaid moaned.
“You were the one giving me directions!”
“Well you were the one rowing!”
“Excuse me son!”
A squat man waddled up to Michael with an even squatter wife. “Can you tell me the way to your I-Fall
tower thingy?”
“It’s right there,” Michael pointed over the man’s
shoulder. “Do you know the way to
Sandusky Ohio?”
“Typical French attitude,” the man snorted. “Always want something in return.” He waddled off.
Michael climbed back into the boat and the street behind him
turned into the ruby red ocean. He
cast off. “I told you we should
have gone left.”
“Well if you were so certain why didn’t you go left in the
first place?”
“Because you told me to go right! At this rate we’ll never return that library book on
time!”
