Friday Fictioneers and again a challenge in terms of a picture, this week taken by Doug MacIlroy. I’m so curious what this really is, but I never check before writing a story. This one is exactly 100 words.

It started to look very good, the water and the soil he had dealt with. As were plants and pets. But it had been 6 days of very hard work. He sighed and looked at his beautiful creation. He really needed a break, and he had more work elsewhere.
He went into facebook to find somebody, and updated his status.
“Please help me to complete this, I need a rest”
It took awhile for anybody to answer, but finally Adam clicked “like”, and problem was solved.
God sighed with relief, and went to sleep. Earth was now in good hands.

Very cool piece and creative use of the prompt! Although if the artisan had known how it was all going to turn out he probably would have trashed the whole thing and gotten himself a chia pet.
Thank you Perry. I am pretty sure we blew the grandiose plans.
That good feeling didn’t last too long, did it? Good thing He did give up on us.
Na, I guess the snake was pretty inocent to later incidents.
Hmmm, I meant “didn’t”, of course.
Freudian slip?
Typing slip.
God on Facebook…you have to love it. Cool take on the prompt.
Tom
Maybe FB is God… .?
Grandiose! Nice modernisation…and who knows how people will think years from now!
I am pretty sure people might start to worship the Network. There is an SF short story I read about that many years ago. 🙂
Very nice
Thanks 🙂
Enjoyed this. Nice twist finding GOD on Craigslist. Unfortunately, some women found the Craigslist Killer instead.
In some religions God is a killer…
This is very creative… and humorous too.
Thanks for the chuckle.
Thank you. I just saw Facebook open and a model of the earth, so it had to be God’s garage
wow what a unique take on the challenge, i never would have thought of that
Thank you. 🙂
Nicely and wryly done.
Thank you Sandra
Very imaginative and creative!
Thank you 🙂
Dear Björn,
I’m chuckling. I didn’t know they had Facebook all those centuries ago. But then heaven has always been more advanced. Great job.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Chuckle is good. But I will never be predictable… 🙂
Hehehe, good story, very well done. World-building’s a tiring business 😉
But as long as you have willing workforce it works out great.
Creative and humourous. Very very nice.
Thank you.. I think I’ve not seen so many different takes on the prompt as this one.
Hi Bjorn,
If only Eve hadn’t come along and ruined everything. We could have had an all-guys planet. But I guess populating it would have been a challenge. Great read. Enjoyed it very much. Ron
An all guys planet would have been an all guy planet.
Great take on a difficult picture.
Thank you. I always give it a lot of time before writing, and I never read any other entries before writing my own.
I don’t read any entries before I write either, I’m so afraid they will influence what I write.
That’s the way to go.
I bet the snake clicked “like” too. “I’ll meet you under the apple tree,” he hissed as he slithered off to find Eve.
Definitely 🙂
Good one. Developing a God complex? 8^)
On a minor note, I think the second sentence has a typo: should “where” be “were”?
Thank you, spell checks don’t pick up everything.
Very original take on the prompt. Nicely done
Thank you
This is such an original look at the prompt. I am glad God hasn’t pressed “delete” yet.
I am pretty sure his finger is resting on that part of the keyboard.
I loved it…Now I’m wondering what would have happened if he posted to Twitter instead.
Adam and Eve replaced by Justin and Selena??
An interesting creation.
Thank you
Nice, I saw the orb as something planet-like as well!
I think it might be a model of earth.
That was a good one… The BigGuy on fb… Wonder what his username is? Very clever.
Thanks Ted 🙂
Very ingenious update on the familiar story!
Thank you 🙂
i’m seeing a trend here of creation things. and it’s working out well! nice job. i hope adam can live up to the expectations, but i have a feeling….
I’ve seen a Genesis theme here too.
i knew there was a better word than “creation things,” just couldn’t place it.
Lvoed this one.
interesting!
Dear Bjorn,
A well crafted take on creation and social media. I can see the snake in the grass from here.
Aloha,
Doug
The snake is probably a Facebook troll
Brilliant, and at least he didn’t advertise on craigslist.
Bjorn,
Haven’t seen this 100 word prompt. Will check it out!
