Hi John, very good. You made me laugh. Now if you could only find a way to use the powers of the Rubik Cube to do something like create world peace without turning us all into zombies that would be great. Well done. Sorry about the late review. Somehow, your story got buried in my in-box. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. Margaret

    Thank you, Margaret. It was initially a "blind" entry. I rarely enter contests unless I?m really happy with my post. This one blew up in my face. I think you?re the sixth or seventh reader.

    But you know I appreciate you anytime!

    I was wondering why I didn't see it. I guess because it was a blind entry. I only do (98%) Site sponsored contests. I gave up the the member contests a long time ago. M

This is glorious and fun. When I got tired of getting close and no cigar was in the offing, I took it to the bathroom with me, and gently peeled off spots until it was properly fleshed. Did I feel bad ? Nope. :-)

What a fun twist. This story was told in a fun way and the last sentence opened up so many possibilities. Would you use the Rubik Cube again? I'd be tempted.

I think it's a great story that makes a person put themselves in the shoes of the protagonist. You managed to do that in 100 words! Remarkable!

This is a very clever idea linking the Rubik's cube to the tectonic plates on earth! What a disaster. It'd probably end a good portion of the population. Best of luck in the contest! Julie

    You're welcome! Unless? Your writing has the same effect on the Earth?

Well, you certainly hit the mark with creative. For sure the earth would be knocked off its axis before I would ever be able to solve the cube. I liked your story. Good luck with the contest.

Did the Devil's hand have a play in this? Maybe putting the mysterious rubix cube conveniently in the church bazaar.... Very ingenious on your behalf. Well done!
