First leaves in descent
though summer aims to hold on
no time for fall yet

Mensa looked over his daughter’s drawing. “What is it?”

“It’s the church. #Father Anton asked all the kids to draw what they think of when they hear the word God.”

“I see; well, the #vector of these two angles here is wrong. It’s hard to tell that’s a door.”

“Father! It’s just a #sketch.”

I’d prefer to remember you as a #vector of altruism. You alluded to your benevolent nature when we met. Was it the ambience of train station? Did my waifish naïveté encourage you to present yourself as an inspiration? When I said I prefer a simple life I did not intend to convey my journey included becoming a placid plough girl in a field desirous of a charismatic overseer like you. Oh presumptions so blur the landscape ahead, don’t they dear Ryko? Your cape has wrinkles.🪶

Entering the cramped compartment, the scientist wrinkled his nose. "This lab is far too small to work in."

"Apologies." Still in the hallway, the alien bowed. "With this new infection, we must be cautious."

"At least you understand that."

"Yes, esteemed one."

"But remember, without our expertise, finding the #vector—"

The door slid shut.

As the disposal pod detached, scientist trapped inside, he glimpsed the alien mouthing, "Human, we already have the answer."

The #MastoPrompt for Sunday 17 August 2025 is:

#vector

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.
