The #MastoPrompt for Saturday 20 April 2024 is:
The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.
@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.
If you're including images, please remember to add alt text.

It wasn't the same as what I remembered from my youth, but I wasn't about to say that to Bobby. He had me by the hand and was towing me from exhibit to exhibit with the energy that only eight-year-olds have.
We saw the penguins and polar bears and lions and elephants and kangaroos, all doing the things they should be doing.
But the bird enclosure was closed due to a network failure, the gazelles were visibly glitching, and the giraffes looked too green.
Bobby didn't seem to mind. It was the zoo we had on Mars and it was enough for him.
