Today's #flashfiction #TheLongestMovieEverMade

“Brevity is the soul of wit.”
Leo Tolstoy

Today I thought I saw canary. Anyway onto the flash fiction!

The Longest Movie Ever Made

        The longest movie ever made combines many genres. It has disaster movie elements and a massive crisis. But of course the story continues. The main characters can't die like that, well, most of them do. But the rest of the main characters are not flat and boring. They continue to be developed through the story, they evolve over time, and become totally different.
Survival horror elements are most of the movie as main characters are hunted by other characters. Eat or be eaten. The characters develop through this after the disaster.
       Eventually the movie becomes a drama. The characters have developed to the point of being able to settle down. Romances occur but at points the plot breaks away to become a war movie. Or a murder mystery. But then back to a romance. But the plot may even stop for a moment to break to a short segment on cooking.
        Billions of years ago aliens decided to film the Earth and make a documentary. They've left the camera running through it all. The biggest question is what the climax is going to be.
