Out of Control

The remote control seemed to hang in the air as it described a perfect arch towards the pool, flying, hands-free, in its own metaverse; a surreal image, frozen not by it, but of it. The tiny buttons, scrambled over, a moment ago, glinting in the sun. PAUSE, clearly showing upon one. Also frozen, on the fifty-two-inch flat screen, the losing goal. That cost the match ~ caused the flight.

Brilliant Terry, I love the abstract approach you’ve taken in this one, yeah I’ve been guilty of the same, but more so on the horse racing, all the best for contest, cheers David
