The apparition shimmered into existence between Nathan and the blackboard.
“I am the Embodiment of the Theory of the Earth Centered Universe.” The being was defiant, raising its fists.
“You were disproven ages ago.” Nathan’s tone was scornful.
“Oh my,” the apparition immediately began to fade, “I didn’t know that.”

This is written for the following challenge prompt:
https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2021/02/28/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-149/
It was also written for my challenge: Write a Great Novel in 50 Words or Less. The title does not count against the word limit, but cannot be used to tell any of the story.
I suspect the earth could be the center in a theory, but then there wouldn’t have been a big bang which has problems of its own. I like the scorn from both Nathan and the Embodiment.

Thank you very much Frank. The one thing I didn’t settle is: wondering what the apparition was about to say?

If you do combine this with the Embodiment of the Theory of Flat Earth it would be a well rounded story.
Thanks for a laugh!

Strong and faithful belief is the key to all strong theory…which is why everybody claps their hands to bring back Tinkerbell.
Skinny, brawny six that made me laugh. Well done!

Thank you very much Liz. After all, a theory must believe in itself.
