If you don’t speak up… (Friday Fictioneers)

As the rumbles die down the damage is assessed. Bloody Interplantary squabbles. Every day another disagreement between leaders and we cope the brunt of the fall out. I can’t see a building, road or airbridge that has not been affected by spaceship bound weaponry. You didn’t want to get caught out in the open during an airstrike. Well, I mean, if you did, I guess you wouldn’t know about it. Instant evaporation.
I crumple the underground town meeting pamphlet in my hand. Something must be done. Tonight, plans would be made.
I refuse to accept this anymore.
The fight begins.

I liked the spirit of this. And then I thought, if her/his side is already fighting, what’s the plan? Capitulation?
Ooooo I like that. What if?
And now the squabble becomes war. Very dystopian indeed. Loved it.
Thanks James! Haha maybe next week I need to go happier ?
I love a good tale of rebellion and resistance.
Thanks Iain! I do as well.
This dystopian account reminds me of how I’m currently feeling after the UK election. Well done to the character for fighting back.
Oh agreed, and it’s hard to see how the reality will go let alone fiction
Pretty tough to defeat interplanetary powers with a town hall resistance. Interesting–I’d like to know how this turns out 🙂
It has to start somewhere 😊
I hope they are somewhat equipped to fight!
I’m not sure that they are. But they’ll fight all the same
Not the easiest of foes to take on!
Very true!
Dear Laurie,
Hope they have a good plan. It doesn’t sound too promising. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
A plan would be good, but you’re right, I don’t think they have one. Yet.
