When Jack came home, he saw a basket full of satsumas. His mother was busy preparing for dinner. He took three satsumas and some forks. He jabbed three forks to each satsuma.
Suddenly, Three alien machines were circling around him, he had no way to run. He tried to shoot them with his conventional weapon. The big machine easily dodged the bullet and started firing him with laser beam. He hid behind a rock and started shooting again. One of his bullets hit one of the smaller machines. He tried to open it and thinking he could use it to fight back.
“What are you doing? Stop turning everything to alienship from that book! You’re too obsessed with that War World alien book!” His mom ruined his imagination, “Now eat that Satsuma!”
“Yes, Mom,” He peeled the Satsuma and grumbled, “It’s The War of the Worlds not War World Alien.”
Total: 150; Word: Fork (150 words)

The inspiration came from this image on deviantart:
It looks like something my kids would do. I was wondering what a satsuma was.
You really got into that book. 🙂
Imaginative kids are always like that … I myself used to be like that.
Well…actually, I really got into Noel Fielding 😉
I have never heard him said orange, always Satsuma. At first, I wanted to give link to what satsuma is…but then I thought, nah let it be.
Anyway, here’s a bit about satsuma http://whatscookingamerica.net/Q-A/Satsuma.htm
You’re first explanation of Satsuma was plenty. I had no idea you got it from Noel, though.Are you saying War of the Worlds didn’t leave an impression?
I have never that word before till Noel said it.
Well, it was good because I still can’t believe he has such great imagination at that time…but the story itself, as a whole, isn’t that memorable for me.
One of the biggest handicaps of SF is the “at that time” factor. All the good ideas from SF get turned into reality.
Mmmm, satsumas …
Tempting fruit, right? 😉
I was like that as a child and still are sometimes. 😉
Me too 😉
Somehow I believe reading makes people an active imaginer
Love satsumas. Never turned them into aliens, though.

I never done it myself…but a kid might do 😉
