“Eugene?”
“Yeah, Marty?”
“Have you made any progress figuring out what’s happening, yet?”
“I have a theory, that what we’re seeing is a sort of portal into the spirit world. It’s like a painting, but with movement.”
“Magic?”
“I’m not sure. Certainly not the sort of magic you hear about in the stories. Watch this bit, here.”
“Mountain, trees, grass. That’s all familiar. But what’s that big thing there?”
“I’ve seen a lot of this before. I’m thinking maybe it’s a god of some sort.”
“It’s certainly big and shiny enough. But what makes you think it’s a god?”
“I’ve just got a hunch, really. There seems to be a lot of reverence attached to it by these spirit-world folk. And they’re all so scrawny, like little stick-figures.”
“So this here is another kind of deity, then?”
“I’m still studying, of course, but they seem to have an entire pantheon that can be viewed through this portal. This one seems to be quite small. Looks like a lizard.”
“Toy Yah Ta. Guy Khoh. They have some weird gods.”
Eugene and Marty grew quiet as they peered from their totem poles, passively studying and evaluating this fascinating spirit world’s “television screen.”
200 words. Inspired by this week’s Sunday Photo Fiction prompt:

I really liked this twist to the prompt. Very imaginative and creative. Enjoyed reading it!
To be honest, the ending felt cramped (by the word count) to me. Editor!
I can imagine the conversations these two have had!
Very entertaining indeed, especially the television twist at the end.
They’re just talking heads. Literally! Ahr ahr ahr.
