30 Days of June ImageCheck out this entry by Mark Morris in response to the prompt for today (4 June 2014) and the prompt special 30 Days of June. It’s highly entertaining.

Here’s a reminder of the prompt:

4 June 2014

The year is 2019 and life as we know it has ceased to exist. Your own future is in jeopardy, so you take drastic action to change past events and give yourself a fighting chance at survival.

Prompt: Write a letter to one of your ancestors to describe their future, advising them of the events that could lead to your destruction.

Enjoy!

      Why have one twist when you can have two? 🙂

    I know – imagine trying to kill your own grandfather 🙂 I enjoyed the twist! My favourite though, was the laser carrying dinosaurs. My nephew would love that!

        I love the 30 days of June concept too. It gives folk a chance to start thinking of the posts ahead of time. It’d be nice if more people took part though.

    I completely agree. I’ll do a reminder post tomorrow about it, and maybe contribute something personally on my other site. Hopefully that will get the ball rolling 🙂 Thanks for your support.
