For Sonya’sThree Line Tale prompt.

We all thought he was a crank, with his homemade rocket, out to prove that the earth was flat, Darwin was wrong, God was a spaceman, and the Loch Ness Monster was actually a flying narwhal spawned among the unicorn and mythological beast hatcheries that fake scientists and blasphemers called the Milky Way.
We watched from a safe distance as the captain of the Starship Hergé turned the ignition, revved the engine, opened the throttle, and deployed the flight fins, giggling as the glorified firework burst into the air.
Our laughter turned to astonishment when, with whinnies of alarm, a school of winged multi-coloured narwhals shot out of the bank of cloud as Hergé roared past on her way to Loch Ness in the Sky.
A fanciful and fun response to the prompt! I’d want to trust anything, anyone, launched into the sky with narwhal escorts, multi-colored.
That chimney does look very like Tintin’s rocket. They’ve been banging on lately about a new exoplanet that had surface temperatures up in the 1000°C and rains molten iron. Interesting, as a landscape but I don’t see how we are concerned by it.
I agree with comment about the escort of multi-colored narwhals–how fun! 😉
Thank you 🙂 It was a fun thing to write.

Best ever Jane 💜
