Sonic zoomobiles sounds madly intriguing.

Glad you were intrigued. Zoommobiles are a cross between electric cars and magnetic high speed trains perhaps ?

Headpalm! Zoommobiles. I read zoo-mobiles and was wondering which animal would evolve to be that fast. 😀

I read two similar versions, is that the way in 2015. I thought that you used the prompt in a great way.

Thanks Michael, glad you liked the story. Why there are two versions is down to my editing inefficiently I suspect.

Dear Francine,
Fun futuristic story. One has to wonder what archeologists will have to say about our society when we’re hundreds of years in the past. Good one.
Shalom,

Glad you enjoyed the story Rochelle. I agree, it’s interesting to take a longer view of our culture.

No remains of whitevanman? I guess you can’t have everything

Thanks Neil – of course there should have been relics of ‘white van man’ in the van.. a furry dice or a nodding Churchill dog perhaps ?
