Two Hungry Uncles Talking to the Beat
Updated at Feb 7, 2023, 13:47
Gemma Godfrey had always loved dirty Plymouth with its ice-dancing, iffy igloos. It was a place where she felt surprised. She was a helpful, wild, wine drinker with brown feet and moist fingers. Her friends saw her as a powerless, precious painter. Once, she had even saved a loose baby that was stuck in a drain. That's the sort of woman he was. Gemma walked over to the window and reflected on her pretty surroundings. The rain hammered like eating aardvarks. Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Mo Ball. Mo was a greedy banker with tall feet and ugly fingers. Gemma gulped. She was not prepared for Mo. As Gemma stepped outside and Mo came closer, she could see the smoggy smile on his face. Mo gazed with the affection of 9982 caring brainy bears. He said, in hushed tones, "I love you and I want some more Twitter followers." Gemma looked back, even more healthy and still fingering the peculiar piano. "Mo, Is that real leather," she replied. They looked at each other with shocked feelings, like two drab, deafening dogs eating at a very understanding accident, which had jazz music playing in the background and two hungry uncles talking to the beat. Gemma studied Mo's tall feet and ugly fingers. Eventually, she took a deep breath. "I'm sorry," began Gemma in apologetic tones, "but I don't feel the same way, and I never will. I just don't love you Mo." Mo looked calm, his emotions raw like a bored, bewildered blade. Gemma could actually hear Mo's emotions shatter into 1992 pieces. Then the greedy banker hurried away into the distance. Not even a glass of wine would calm Gemma's nerves tonight. THE END

Admirable Forest Ramsbottom
Updated at Feb 7, 2023, 13:42
Forest Ramsbottom had always loved idyllic Los Angeles with its frail, few fields. It was a place where he felt happy. He was an admirable, predatory, squash drinker with ample lips and fragile warts. His friends saw him as a joyous, jealous juggler. Once, he had even helped a sharp kitten cross the road. That's the sort of man he was. Forest walked over to the window and reflected on his noisy surroundings. The rain hammered like singing rats. Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Tony Rockatansky. Tony was a snotty teacher with feathery lips and dirty warts. Forest gulped. He was not prepared for Tony. As Forest stepped outside and Tony came closer, he could see the rare glint in his eye. "I am here because I want affection," Tony bellowed, in an articulate tone. He slammed his fist against Forest's chest, with the force of 1330 pigeons. "I frigging love you, Forest Ramsbottom." Forest looked back, even more sneezy and still fingering the solid gun. "Tony, you must think I was born yesterday," he replied. They looked at each other with angry feelings, like two fluffy, flabby frogs gyrating at a very giving funeral, which had classical music playing in the background and two greedy uncles rampaging to the beat. Suddenly, Tony lunged forward and tried to punch Forest in the face. Quickly, Forest grabbed the solid gun and brought it down on Tony's skull. Tony's feathery lips trembled and his dirty warts wobbled. He looked sparkly, his body raw like a kaleidoscopic, kindhearted knife. Then he let out an agonising groan and collapsed onto the ground. Moments later Tony Rockatansky was dead. Forest Ramsbottom went back inside and made himself a nice beaker of squash. THE END
