CONCENPTUAL ART
Marcie wandered the exhibition, aware
that her best frock was hopelessly unfashionable, but she didn’t care - when
she cleared up afterwards she’d get the leftovers.
Meanwhile she eavesdropped as they
told each other what it meant.
“Of course, it’s pollution – plastic resembling
jellyfish and killing whales.”
“No, no – it represents the ephemeral
nature of life.”
“I see a cloud of angels coming to gather souls.”
“How sweet! Isn’t she a darling?”
Suddenly Marcie could bear their
braying voices no longer. “I’ve been sweeping round these bloody things for
days – they just look like cotton reels and condoms to me.”

Apologies to Roger Bultot, who took the photo and probably understood the exhibit, but once I'd seen cotton reels and condoms I couldn't write anything else. Thanks to Rochelle for posting the prompt on her blog https://rochellewisoff.com/ from whence you can follow the link to read how other writers interpreted the picture.
I would like to wish everyone who visits my blog a very happy and prosperous 2018. My own New Year got off to a good start as I had a pleasant surprise today - I've sold ten copies of A Volcanic Race already this year! This is probably nothing special for a seasoned novelist, but for a debut author it is wonderful - my family bought their copies last year so this means that people I don't know are reading my work. Have you bought a copy yet? The link is at the top of this page.
