It’s been a while, but I’ve finally managed to get a story in on time for Monday’s Finish the Story. And what a prompt – there’ve been some very interesting interpretations on what this actually is!
Finish the story starts with “I see absolutely everything”.
Here’s my attempt:
*a conversation between the Ancient All Powerful Being and his 4 year old son.
“I see absolutely everything” boomed the all pervading voice of the Ancient Seer.
“Can you see Santa?”
“Of course I see Santa, I see all.”
“What’s he doing?”
“He’s ah.. feeding his reindeer.”
“What’s a reindeer?”
“It’s a large fluffy beast. With antlers. They like snow, and carrots.”
“You mean like Sven from Frozen?”
“Yes, just like Sven.”
“What if you’re asleep? Don’t you have to close your eyes?”
“Son..” the All Powerful Being turned to the boy. “All Powerful Beings do not sleep. Plus, I have no eyelids” he added, scratching the little boy’s head.
“But what if its night time and dark and there’s no ‘lectricity’?”
The All Seeing Being smiled. “Then I will know. Because to see all is to know all. You will understand that one day when you become the All Powerful Seer.”
“Dad..”
“Yes, Son.”
“What’s an eye lid?”
A scream of parental angst rang out through the universe.

It looks like the son has a long way to go before his dad hands over the reins! Great fun story and nice dialogue 🙂

Wonderful story! I honestly thought it was a regular dad and it was the Ancient All Powerful Being that sees all and knows all! LOL! I agree with Alli. The son has a long way to go to be a seer like his dad. Loved the story!

Ha — I wonder how you would measure such a mighty cosmic scream? Maybe using an astronomical interferometer? Nah…that wouldn’t work. I think.

Maybe if they had a toddler annoyance factor scale to measure on?

Well, the little fella has to learn how to become an ‘All Powerful Seer’! How else can he do that other than through a string of endless questions…?’ A nice, funny story, that all parents can relate to.

A very fun story! I can feel the father’s frustration. Hopefully his son will grow out if his asking lots of questions stage soon. 🙂
