“Eureka!” Frank screamed. “I’ve projected a soul, proving that there is more to us than flesh and blood!”
Hearing Frank’s cry, others ran to where he was standing to find out what he was so excited about.
“Look!” Frank shouted, pointing to the white, ghost-like projection next to the wall. “That is the human soul.”
“Actually, Frank,” the chief scientist at the research lab said, “that is a projection, but it’s a spooky owl that was created for the Halloween party. Don’t be disheartened, though,” the chief said. “Someday, the esteemed Dr. Frank N. Stein will make history.”

Smiling for two reasons. First, great little story. Second, I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed it.

I didn’t notice it at first and my initial draft was totally different. But when I did notice it, I had to embrace it, and that took me in a completely new direction. The real challenge was to manage to stay within 100 word.

This is a fantastic example of how we adjust in our mind what we see to confirm our expectations.
Yes, science is a tricky subject to prove at times. Poor Frank – keep the experiments going .
