Cruising – by Hugh W. Roberts
While sitting outside on the most oversized balcony of the cruise ship, sipping gin and tonics served in fishbowls, Petunia and Fred didn’t have a care in the world.
“What’s the name of that city, Fred?” asked Petunia, pointing towards the high-rise buildings along the shoreline.
As the cruise ship sailed off the edge of the world, Petunia never got to take another sip from the fishbowl she held, nor got an answer to her question.

Well done!!! I loved it! And I also note how well you maximized your 3 lines! Clever all around. ❤
Thank you. You got to make as much use as you can out of those three lines. It’s another excellent writing challenge that certainly gets the creative cogs turning.
What a sad waste of a perfectly good G&T, Hugh! Nicely done!
Thank you. As a vodka man, I’d say good riddance to the gin, Terri. However, I do feel I’ve wasted what could have been in store for Petunia.
Well, that’s a unique ending! I wonder where t hey land, or if they’re still falling through space? Hmmm,…can one “fall” in space?
I would say float, the same as the ship they were on, so maybe they’re now floating in space rather than on the Earth?
you always have to ruin a beautiful moment, don’t you!?
I don’t like gin. When I saw gin was featured in this story, I had to ruin it.
Oh, I hadn’t thought about photos edits. Distinct possibility! 😀
Nicely done!
Thank you, Donna. Glad you enjoyed my three-line tale.
Haha! Good one
Thank you.
You’re welcome Hugh
Oh dear, Hugh. Poor Petunia.
I wonder what happened to her?
And there they were…gone 😄 Nice one, Hugh.
But gone where Cathy? Maybe the first passenger flight to Mars will reveal an answer? Apparently, that’s going to happen in 2024. Better book our tickets. If we book this far in advance, I’m sure we’ll get a discount.
Ooer! So, the earth may not be round, then!
Apparently not. I believe a lot of people think it’s flat and that photos of it from space have been edited.
There is a whole group who believe that!
I know. I’ve come across them a few times in the blogging world. They also believe that what we see in the sky is all projected from a secret source on Earth. This also includes the nighttime sky.
Thanks for linking back to this post. I’m glad it gave you some inspiration.
You are most welcome, Hugh 💜
