It flew towards me with an altogether unexpected
- It flew towards me with an altogether unexpected trajectoral persuasion. I reached out and it landed with a dull thump in my palm. Then I saw that it was
- a bluish rubbery mass, vaguely spherical and semi-opaque. I stared into it and the eye embedded in its centre slowly blinked back at me. I held it to my ear and I heard a voice say
- "Please admire, but do not handle the alien." The announcement was meant for me so I set down the blob immediately, but this brief contact had linked us telepathically. "Zarx vlen"
- said the alien's voice inside my head. I struggled and raced towards the zoo's exit, but the voice commanded me to lean over the railing to yet another monstrosity's cage.
- It was this pink creature with four bony appendages & a small domed nob which appeared to contain sensory organs & a primitive orifice for intake of nutriments. I threw it some
- paprika and ground nutmeg but I don't think it like either; it vomited both and then some straight into my ugly mug. I threw the mug away. I grabbed a cigar from some mook that was
- smoking two cigars at once. "Some people have no cigars at all!" I huffed at him, as I disappeared into a cloud of sweet smoke. That was the day I became Cigar Man, upholder of
- Peace, Quiet, & Normality. I live & breathe the ideals of Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk, so don’t invade my space with your bullshit. I just wanna sip some brandy & have a normal conversation.
- With that in mind, I turned to Saboobedo, my oldest/youngest imaginary friend, and jokingly asked him, "Sleepy time over?" He puckered his lips and rolled over. My bliss vanished.
- His eyes, normally bright blue, had changed into yawning black abysses. They gaped like open wounds in his face. I shrieked and stumbled out of the room. No more imagination!
