Well, I’ve screwed this weekly writing exercise of late…I did one two weeks ago, but I forgot to link the bloody thing on Jenny’s site, so no Centusians are aware that it existed! And last week’s, I just missed entirely, because I just couldn’t think of a way to do that one without dwelling on death. So let’s see if we can’t do things right, this time! Instead of a word-based prompt, Jenny Matlock asks us to write a story in 25 words, using 5 sentences of 5 words each.
“Is that our new planet?”
“Yes, that’s it. We’re home.”
“I pictured it more blue.”
“Yeah…welcome to New Earth.”
“May it outlive the old.”

Oh my…. that sets me thinking!
Well you're in this week for sure! …and yes it's kind of blue now that you mention it! But are those green people I see too! LOL
An end-of-the-world story in so few words!
You're giving us something to ponder I see-Happy Saturday:@)
I might be inclined to move to your 'new planet' if this one gets much worse. Really nice take on the 5 X 5 today. 🙂

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?! Nicely done!

HA! So clever! Especially with the sun misbehaving lately!!!
Wouldn't that make a good movie!~Ames
Well, I COULD get very picky and say your second line is actually TWO sentences. But instead I'll just savor your words and smile. Well done!
I would love to visit! Very clever!
Ahh, very interesting. And says a lot in those 25 words. Nicely done and very imaginative. I like Sci Fi.
Clever, and fits your ongoing theme of 'intergallectic-gloom-and-doom'.
Best,

Hi! I'm so behind I haven't noticed anyone playing hooky. I've been doing it myself of late!
I always enjoy your sci-fi theme.
This one seemed especially poignant to me.
