This week’s prompt from Julia is an image of one of the wonderful sculptures at the Eden Project, a Heather Jansch horse.
Apparently no-one will ‘get’ my flash this week but I’ve been dared to post it anyway!
Eden Horse
My back’s numb thank God, but I’m worried my arm’s so blue. There’s some light coming in the window, so someone’s gonna come soon. Then I’ll know my fate. I spect I’ll be out of a job. I’ve heard it’s worth thirty thousand pounds. Can’t see it myself. I was dusting see. I wondered how it stayed in one piece, so I crouched down to look for some screws. Just a tiny tug and I found out there aren’t many. It creaked, and slipped an bit, so I held it still else it’d collapse. I’ve been holding it all night.

Stunning sculpture! 🙂
Try googling Heather Jansch, she is an incredible artsit!
You must have written that in seconds! I have only just got the prompt.
Oh, and I guess you should never be trusted to do the cleaning!
Nah I’m sure I’m much too daft for that!
Clever girl!
LOL…that is a lot to hold.
Hahaha!
Cool! Nice work! Love the horse too!
Thanks Judy, they are amazing and full size 🙂
Is that a driftwood horse? I think I’ve seen photos of them somewhere else. Also, just wanted to say, I hope someone has come to your rescue by now, perhaps with some screws? LOL .
Yes I have quite a few lose ones!
Want to buy some screws? $5.00 each, please. LOL (gotta keep up with inflation, you know!) 😉
Replacing mine would be worth it! 🙂
what a hero … a reward is more likely!
Christine your glass is very full 🙂
It’s amazing where being concerned about dust gets you! Love it!
It would be even more amazing if dust concerned me !
Hahaha…You are funny girl. I like that.
Love that horse sculpture!
She has created some wonderful art!
Clever Gilly and you continue to meet the writing challenge. Good for you! Another way to be creative my friend. Margie
Thanks Margie, I didn’t mean to make my blog so photography based!
Too cool!
Ah bless you Madhu and thanks for visiting!
Great take on the prompt!
I’m glad you liked it 🙂
You have such a creative mind, this is exceptional! I understood it perfectly – I just hope someone comes before his blue arm turns purple!
I think some would say a strange mind!
Same thing?
Very clever. I like it a lot!
Thanks Robyn, it was a five minute job!
so… he’s holding it and stuck in one place for fear it’ll fall?
Ha-ha, this made me chuckle. Of course we get it, very amusing interpretation of the prompt!
Absolutely, and you got it quicker than Lindy!
This is a really interesting approach to the prompt. I love how the image takes us all in different directions. I love your descriptions here as well.
Thats the wonder of these challenges, so much diversity 🙂
Great aproach- reminded me of the boy who put his finger in the dam. Clever writing.
Thanks, I’l have to check out the boy with the finger!

Found it Anna and its brilliant thank you!
This left me with a fantastic mental picture. I do hope someone arrived soon to rescue her!
Very clever indeed. Poor soul… there but for the grace. I really enjoyed this piece.
I would get it…too short…never…
Gilly – I love that! It’s so well written, and says just enough.
Great opening line too.
(I shall certainly think twice before letting you loose with a duster anywhere!)
(But on second thoughts, that is some commitment, to sit and hold it all night!!)
Very well written and cleverly done. x
Oh boy! How tragic! 😉
