Question 60

Instructions for an impossible machine

A noticeboard message for a fictional creative-writing club.

For our next writing session, invent a machine that performs an impossible but useful task. It could recover forgotten thoughts, slow down a busy afternoon or sort objects according to the memories attached to them. Concentrate on making the operation of your machine sound convincing and easy to follow.

Prepare a numbered set of six instructions explaining how to operate the machine. You should also produce a separate warning notice of no more than twenty words, identifying one risk faced by a careless operator. We will test the clarity of the writing by asking another participant to read it. No model or technical drawing is needed.

Write down the two things each participant must prepare for the session.
