All of the stories I have written are of historic events in the past or set at the time of a historic event. Admittedly some were about the future and a conjectured event in the future. This story, "This is Nonsense, George's Ark" is a spoof. (A humorous imitation of something in which its characteristic features are exaggerated for comic effect.) This spoof is referring to Noah's Ark. Unlike other events I have written about, everyone knows of this event. As the real story of Noah's Ark went it's path, my story took a similar path as described in this story, but it did not work out as well. I believe the title explains the content of the story, because as written, it is nonsense. It is a simple story with the comic irony of what seems to happen to a lot of projects and the people involved. It is an earthy story. In this story you have a supreme being referred to as "He" and a pilot project for the great flood on Earth. This required a planet identical to Earth in geology only; a few basic no frills humans and an ark to see if the humans and the ark would survive. Also required was a large group of heathens to see if they would be destroyed by the flood; a few trees to build an ark and plenty of sunflower seeds.
