Boom!

  • Boom!
  • The dynamite blew off my legs, but I could still crawl to the antidote. "Cover me, Private!" I yelled, shielding myself from plasma missiles with fallen henchaliens. The poison gas
  • shredded my lungs just as I injected the antidote. My aux ventricles kicked in. I wasn't quite breathing, but I was alive. Private Gamz blasted the enemy drones. I crawled toward
  • the exit door, found it was actually a laundry chute, and fell inside. Down and down I went, through an endless tunnel that seemed to go on and on, until finally I arrived at
  • the employee entrance at Dylans Candy Bar. I was hoping it would be a magical candy land, kind of like in Willy Wonka - but no, it was just a dark storage room filled with boxes
  • of wind-up mice that howled like banshees and ran around the room when fully-wound up. Of course, I pocked three of them immediately so that I could
  • fill the mice's pock marks with that yellow cheese that comes in that square in the cheese and crackers snack packs. It was the only way to get the cheese past the billowy
  • cheese-loving harridan from number 87. So I filled my hat with mice, their pockmarks stuffed with cheese. The mice were drowsy with Old Madeira to stifle their sniffly squeaks and
  • they soon fell fast asleep. I shoved my mice-n-cheese-filled hat on my head & everything would have gone fine from there except that when the band struck up the national anthem, I
  • started tipping over forward. The mice all wanted to do that "pledge of allegiance" thing to blend in, but their weight knocked me over & into the bandstand! Every mouse escaped!

    Nice contribution! When I was a kid our 1st house had a laundry chute. I always thought if you crawled down it that there would be some lint hamper monster waiting for you at the bottom. It was fun to communicate with siblings via the chute or drop pillows down on the person below...
