Captain Morrow emerged from his quarters onto the deck of his ship. “Winslow, what the hell are you doing?”
“Land, Captain! LAND EVERYWHERE! So beautiful.”
“Hand me that, you imbecile!”
Captain Morrow hit Winslow’s head with the device. Pointing, he said, “First, that is an asteroid. Secondly, we’re searching for theorium, not land. And, this” Captain Morrow held up the device, “is a kaleidoscope!”
The prompt for the Chimera 66 Challenge #11 at Grammar Ghoul Press is the word "kaleidoscope," a noun meaning "a toy consisting of a tube containing mirrors and pieces of colored glass or paper, whose reflections produce changing patterns that are visible through an eyehole when the tube is rotated."
