Caged
When Storm had entered the underground world of Diamond, she had passed the caged ones. Now she found herself wondering how long they would sit. Watching but not awake. Would they again be used in battle. The last time Force had released two of its white faced warriors, their control chips had failed. As the two white warriors ran amok, there had been over one hundred thousand terminations. More importantly Force had noted major disruption to its mining schedule. Causing Force to detonate the warriors self destruct devices. When all Force had required was the elimination of a rogue cell of workers.

Got to be careful with those workers
That is so true, thank you Neil
Leave it to Force to use too much force. Should have just let them unionize
They should have, the ramifications may now backfire on them.
So the workers were causing problems with the white-faced warriors?
The warriors are faulty. At present the Force organisation can not use them to control it workers.
Still, could be handy if the worst comes to the worst in the future…
That’s true, at the moment I have no idea of what role they may play in the story about Storms life.
I love the whole concept, it’s like fantasy and science fiction merged.
Thank you for such a lovely comment.
Dear Michael,
Interesting voice in this. It does have an other worldly sci fi feel to it.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle, the prompt picture challenged me.
Interesting take ont he prompt, Michael.
I’m with Rochelle, sci fi in your words.

Thank you so much Isadora, I was challenged by the prompt picture.
It was a challenge for me too. I didn’t want to go witht he obvious Halloween theme. Th challenge is always there. We can never think it’s easy. Have a fun weekend … : )
Thank you Isadora,
Force sounds like a dangerous organisation. I look forward to hearing how it tries to take over the world!
BTW I like the photo of you at Mevagissey. Do you live near there? I visit there once or twice a year. It’s beautiful.
Hi Penny, I do like Mevagissey, but I don’t often get the chance to visit, as I live in North Yorkshire… I am sure that Force will figure occasionally in my future attempts at writing flash fiction.
Management turning on workers? Say it ain’t so! This wasnt inspired partially by any recent US Supreme Court decisions was it?
I love this passage:”there had been over one hundred thousand terminations. More importantly Force had noted major disruption to its mining schedule.” So cynical!
It is pure fiction. Sorry to report that it was not inspired by any events. But pleased to see your commment
Major overkill (literally). I like the world you’ve constructed here.
Are you in Cornwall on holiday or live here? I’m only asking as I live virtually round the corner from Mevagissey!
I was so pleased to read your comment. The fictional underground world of Diamond is slowly developing, at present I am working on its history and tenants. I love Cornwall and have visited many times. I live in North Yorkshire near Skipton.
Great sci-fi stuff. Easy to imagine a longer story.
Thank you Granonine, the underground world of Diamond is slowly developing in form and characters. But it is like a uncompleted jigsaw. The edges are nearly completed, but the rest is a litter of pages.
An extremely interesting read.
Thank you Lisa,
Deep breath – overkill indeed. Why not simply power down the foofie generator and unplug the gaggle machine – all sorted, no repercussions.
Unplugging the gaggle machine might be a good idea, but the story of Diamond world and Storm so far refuses to go away.
