Friday Fictioneer – The quantum cat

~ Neil MacDonald
PHOTO PROMPT © Marie Gail Stratford

The catting satting on the matting, ideaings passing through their heading: ideaings of dinnering and of hunting.  A womaning was arriving. They were holding out feeding to the catting.

The wave function collapsed. And the cat sat on the mat.

In our grammar, nouns are things and verbs are actions. But what if we didn’t make this distinction between nouns and verbs and saw, instead, processes? The quantum world is perhaps a bit like that.

Friday fictioneers is a weekly challenge set by Rochelle Wisoff Fields to write a 100-word story in response to a photo prompt. You can find other stories here

  1. Dear Neil,

    Interesting and fun take on grammar. And aren’t we two countries separated by a common language? I don’t know about your side of the pond but over here, English is going to hell in handbasket.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle
