Once Upon a Space: a Silly Story I Wrote in 2010

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.

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…
