This is a more refined version of a previous story : I need a story title he said. It can literally be 'anything', he told the boy. And so it was. An idea filled the space where words could be conjured, inspired by the world around or something not so visible. For example, an elephant with six legs, four tusks and two trunks could fill that idea 'space' perfectly. The idea of elephants in space is a metaphysical anomaly, an odd juxtaposition of words, formed through desperation to find a subject for a story using words that sprouted from an innocuous thought. The elephant above was called Billy, and he liked eating cheese. A fact that has no relevance in this story that is largely about space. Some of the following points may be obvious, so I apologise for any 'mansplaining' that follows, which I understand is highly disapproved of. However, the true meaning of the term eludes me so I will say what I will. Then you can tell me if it fits the bill after you...
