Six Minute Story: “A Lonely, Lonely Wasteland”

My third effort at Six Minute Story is up, and is entitled “A Lonely, Lonely Wasteland”.  This strikes me as a bit of a weak title, and it’s moitié-moitié among the readers who have contacted me so far whether I made any sense in using the word “forked” as a metaphor.

One clicks a box, sees a prompt (in this case an image), and, simultaneously, a 6 minute countdown timer starts.  In the case of this image, what I thought was a forked stick was … um … a pair of legs.  So the story will make more sense if one “fixes” the image.  To match.
