Hey G-Man, or is it Mr. Knowitall? Whichever...I really liked your story!

Nice little SF poignant story. Laughed at your comment when you dropped by. And what, you don't read theoretical quantum particle physics? As far as I understand, the problem is that if the universe was a can of baked beans then picking it up ( the can,not the universe) suggests that only one bean in the can. But when you open it, its full, So a Higgs bosin is the way of trying to explain this difference. Simple really. But that's why you need my metaphor machine microfiction. Oh, if you want a proper explanation one is here.

That implies that even though she's immortal she'll still have to grow old. Not nice!
Excellent take on the picture and a very good read.

izzy said...

Yup the Moon would be a good place for star gazing, but a tad chilly
against the skin.... Thanks!

Mona said...

once lost , gone forever dear!

was it given to you? Then it must have been taken away!

Do something to 'earn' it back !

hey g-man! got to catch up on your 55, as well as your dreamy mfmonday offering :) so, what's up with the 'gotta do whatever it takes to heal' ending of your coffee tribute???? what's going on wit' you, galen?

Peggy said...

Mr G;

You are really good at this. Took to this like a duck to water.
Beautiful take on the picture of the week. Lost youth.
Have a great day.

Poor Galen, I hate the thought of you there alone...but I know it won't be that way for long!

Monkey Man said...

Galen? A seriously poetic post? I am floored. nicely done. If you can do 140, can you do 160? My Sunday 160 was patterned after your 55 and I even credit and link you in my original post.

Mona said...

GALEN! OUR BUF PASSED AWAY! I CAN"T BELIEVE ITS TRUE!

Mama Badger said...

No worries. You'll hit middle age, have a crisis and buy an even bigger, shinier star. And people will talk behind their hands about it...

Jessie said...

well said Mr. G!

smiles,

Nice one G~Man, This was good. Funny it doesn't look like Alice Kramden though.

Pat said...

Ohhh, a poignant mourning of lost youth, a time when we all thought we were immortal.

Good one.

hope said...

You took an apparently sad picture [according to the majority today] and turned it into a thinking moment. Interesting. :)

lime said...

you'll always be a star, g-man!

Michael G-G said...

At least she wasn't swinging on a star...

Great job, G-Man. Evocative.

Have a great week.

Susan at Stony River said...

Oh wow Galen - that's fantastic. Waiting for an improbable return, that's the pits -- but so poignant and somehow heroic, too.

I love it!
