Friday fictioneers is a weekly challenge set by Rochelle Wisoff Fields to write a 100-word story in response to a photo prompt. You can find other stories here
The Thing
“Whassup today?” I asked to the Boy Who Lived in the Shack.
“Test drive,” he said, putting forward a “Thing” looking like a hot air balloon.
Together, we carried it to the open where he adjust the engines and together we seated in the large box.
“Now think, boy.” He said.
“Think what, boy?” I asked.
“Whatever,” he said and so I did. And the more I thought, the higher the Thing flew. Higher, higher, into the air. Past the clouds.
“Hey, when will it stop?” I asked, frantically.
My mind went crazy with worries but even higher we went.
Den of Dreams 
Dear DW,
I’ve heard of dreams taking a person higher. You’ve taken that to a new level. 😉 Imaginative story.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Powered by thought. Brilliant. But does it have to wait for you to die to come back down?
Guess that could be a metaphor for life

The worries didn’t bring the Thing down? Perhaps we need more worry

Or perhaps worry, that is, just a lot of dark thoughts, could lift it up to the darkness?
