“Just two Pollux, will that be enough?” “Yes yes Castor, by the time we come back there will be 7 billion lives on this planet.” “And they’ll all be in our image Castor… Can you imagine?” “If you say so; I’ve found a lovely garden they can begin their lives. What about communicating with them Pollux the time we are away… won’t they be lost?” “No Castor we’ve left enough imagination in their minds that they’ll find a way to talk to whomever and whenever they desire.” They both smiled silently.

Castor and Pollux are two of my favorite characters, but not from Greek mythology. I could see the brothers from Face/off having a diabolical discussion like this. Well done!

I liked this – especially the concept of two, not one. Love the dialogue, but unless you’re going for a visual effect, I’d prefer to see it broken up in the traditional manner.

Gratitude accepted and given. I understand what you mean. I considered that after I submitted, but it was free write and I’m happy with it as such.

I like the idea of some weird being doing all the creating rather than a singular God. This was a fun read and an interesting way to view the world.

I loved the names Castor and Pollux. And I loved how completely carefree they were. Put me in the mind of Zaphod Beeblebrox.

This is clever, Bugaloo. I love the fact that you took the very example that was given in Webster’s definition and completely twisted it on its head. Nice response. Thanks for playing and we hope we’ll see you for the weekend challenge too.
