A Changeling ?
Prompt provided by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
A white furred fox approached. Transfixed I watched as it turned into a Saami. Benjamin you are in danger, please follow me. The next twenty hours we ran in silence. Reaching a fiord, my companion crossed onto its frozen surface then turned towards the ocean. Fear not Benjamin, you approach your destiny. I followed, the magic was strong. Then the ice shattered and I drifted into darkness. Yet in my new form, as a blue whale I was safe,… My life on the farm had not prepared me. Will I change again?

This has a lovely dream-like quality to it
Thank you so much Neil, for your comment illustrates an alternative way for me to develop Benjamins story.
Now that would be an interesting life, or lives.
Thank you Iain, Benjamin does have a varied life, fluctuating and unfixed in outcome
I actually love that this is a “tenuous link” to the prompt. Lots of imagination, Michael.
Thank you so much Dale, I wondered if I could have written a gaucho story
I love this story of transformation Mike
Thank you Ange. I do find myself wondering about genetic developments in humanity future.
I think this youngster knows who to trust and that is sometimes all that is needed. Makes me want to know what happens next.
At the moment I am happy to let Benjamin swim in the ocean.
Fascinating adventure story with a touch of fantasy tossed in for good measure.
Excellent storytelling, Michael.
I very much appreciate your feedback.
I think you did just fine! For me there’s no such thing as a tenuous link to the prompt. It triggers something that takes us somewhere and that’s the beauty of the whole thing!
Thank you Michael,
Your imagination has been doing you proud recently, Michael. Well done.

Dear Michael,

Thank you Rochelle, my imagination is working, but not as I want at the moment
This is very intriguing. It seems like there’s a much bigger story in it. I love the idea of shape-shifting. Fascinating.
Thank you Margaret, a bigger story there is for sure… unfortunately I am hooked by it, but unable to find the future of it.
I was running along with Benjamin. Great storytelling.
Thank you Michele, Running is great exercise,
How fascinating. A changeling indeed. Keep running. So many lives.
Thank you Laurie, I seem to be hooked on Benjamin,.
