I was writing something tonight, and realized I had my characters do a sort of Rorschach test. What do you think this says about my characters?
Gabriel leaned back, staring up at the sky with his eyes slightly squinted. He was a bit light sensitive, to the point the sky made his eyes burn a little, but he was looking for shapes in the clouds. “Heh. That cloud looks like some guy riding an elephant.”
“What?” They looked up. “Looks more like someone giving a kid a piggyback ride to me.” Michael countered, smiling slightly. “And cheering while they do it. The arms are in the air.”
Gabriel snorted. “No, it’s definitely an elephant rider. How are you seeing that? There’s no fourth arm.”
“Well, not everyone has two arms, Gabe.” They argued back, certain of their own perception.
I had my (mod)ern friend illustrate this cloud of twofold appearances.
Is this:
A elephant rider
A piggyback rider
Something else entirely (caption appropriately)
