ZapFic50Friday #52 - The Advance of Science

This post is inspired by this week's Zapfic Friday prompt, "advance".

“You say science must advance, Mr Galilei ? We say it is immutable, fixed.”

Inquisitor Maculani leaned over his desk.

“If you persist in denying that the earth is at the centre of the universe the only thing advancing will be your height, as we put you to the rack.”

For any of my friends (or anyone else, for that matter !) who reads this and fancies giving it a try, it's really fun and thought provoking. The rules are really simple;

• The Freewriters Community has a Zapfic post with a writing prompt every Monday (up to 240 character posts) and Friday (exactly 50 word posts)
• Your response must be posted within 3 days in the Freewriters Community.
• Please post a link to your entry in the comments section of the prompt post
• Please use #freewritehouse and #zapfic tags.
• The important one - YOU MUST use a word/character counter (if you search for word counter on the internet or in your phone's app store you will get a big choice!) wordcounter.net and include a screenshot. Entries without a screenshot will NOT be valid.
• Please use the prompt provided as you see fit (use your imagination)
• Try to tell a complete story if you can!
• The story should be exactly 50 words long.
