I don’t know why I wrote this, other than to amuse myself at the time. But here it is. You can read it if you want.

Once Upon a Space

Once upon a space, many years ago and a long way away somewhere (I don’t know where it was), there was a tall man who ate things and walked and danced and said hello to people (even people he didn’t know). One place, he was in a day, but it was a short day, so he had to crouch down, he couldn’t stand up and be his usual tall self. And he looked at other people who were smaller and inside bigger days, and he thought to himself, “Something’s not right here.” He would have said, “Something’s not right here, Audrey!” if there had been someone called Audrey present, but there wasn’t.

Anyway, so then the man (let’s call him Robert, yes?) looked up at the sky, and crouched in awe of the big blue almost-infinite expanse before his face, and said, “Oh if only there were more strawberries in the world!”

At that moment, a small man appeared, not inside a day, but inside a whole week! “How did you do that?” asked Robert, and then the man used a knife to pierce Robert’s day, and suddenly Robert was free to dance and walk again, just like he did before this short day came…
