I loved this story and wanted to scratch Mr Darwin's eyes out...I'm so glad you're writing again :-)

Oh my! Absolutely adored this! I remember when I was young thinking similarly...we are in on a speck of dust (or in a box) contained in another ecosystem on a speck of dust (or in a box) ad nauseum. Why don't we still question and seek? I guess life just gets in the way sometimes.

TechnoBabe said...

So cool. Fun read. Thanks for this great post.

rxBambi said...

Loved this story! great job with this one. Its funny tho, I was thinking that a year ago someone would have torn open the box and the whole ecosystem inside would have died...
Just an observation...

First of all, I thought you were describing my youngest son. Second of all, I loved the "thinking outside of the box" theme. Third of all, it was another great story!

Thanks!

otin said...

Tom said...

Sometime, even teachers don't get it. Bullying hurts.

Maggie said...

I've been ghost this summer... the kids took all my energy. But I'm back, kids start school this week, and can i just say if they had one more week you and Brian would've had to get together and co-write my story in the looney bin!

This is fantastic. It took me the whole post to realize what was going on, so I went back and read it again, just to enjoy it fully. This is brilliant. If you think of it, please link it up on Saturday Sampling this week. (I post on Friday nights at 9pm.)

God and his box. I love it.

Mighty M said...

What a great story - we've missed you!! :)

Jen said...

We all know what happened when Pandora opened a box she shouldn't have. Way to go Godfrey!

Joanna Jenkins said...

Great to see you back and with such a good story. Thanks, jj

adeeyoyo said...

Brilliant, Otin! I have sometimes thought like that too... boxes within boxes... Too much to comprehend! So glad you took a break to write this!!!

Pat said...

Way to go God, and you too, Otin! Keep that lid on the box please!

Jessie said...

well done.

warm smiles,

From Tracie said...

Hi Otie, haven't been here in a while, then noticed you on the Saturday Sampling link-up. Great stuff as usual..students like Godfrey usually end up saving the universe. I'm glad he didn't march to the beat of the drum.
