“Love,” Madee reflected, “is like a vase of ferrets in the microwave
when you’re out of two minute noodles.”
Pintrub considered this. “They never did take just two minutes, those
noodles.”
“So?”
“So! Do you know how many times I was late for school because of those
noodles? Think how much class time I missed over the years, how much
knowledge I could have gained? Think how that could affect my career
prospects? My chance at self-actualisation? The cumulative effect of
those blasted noodles is mind-boggling! I could end up an unfulfilled,
bored stupid office slave because of those bloody noodles!”
“Dude, you could have just stopped eating them.”
The story having reached a point of conclusion too early for the
author’s liking, it started raining hamsters. Their little innards
gushed out onto the pavement like globs of exploding trifle.
“Oh, how cute.” Madee said. Someone had to make the obvious comment.
“This fondue is an excellent compliment to the theory of relativity.”
“I think it’s rather mucky.”
“It’s fondue.”
“I disagree. No recipe for fondue contains arsenic.”
Pintrub died abruptly.
“I was only joking.”
Her only companion slain by illusory arsenic, Madee decided that it
would be a good day to purchase a basket of tarantulas and some
justice. Using only these materials, she constructed a life-size model
of a thecodontosaurus. It was a bit lopsided.
In a burst of creativity, the author decides to invent an entirely new
character. His name shall be Stanley. He is about five foot two with a
bit of a limp, but nevertheless carries himself with quiet dignity. The
technical details behind carrying oneself bodily will remain here
unexplained. In his youth he had lived in Stanthorpe, and his father
had grown raspberries. There were quite a number of embarrassing
operations to have them removed. Stanley himself had been a complete
loser until he had discovered that he had the power to talk to mosquitos. Following the invention of a pesticide which
completely eradicated mosquitos, this ability became quite redundant,
but Stanley had built up enough self-confidence by then to take on the
problems of an exploding human population. He was now a licensed
killer.
“Excuse me ma’am, our records show that you would have died of malaria
last week if not for the unfortunate eradication of mosquitos. Would
you care to step outside…?”
“Of course.” They both stepped outside, where Stanley was hit by a
falling capybara and died instantly. “Funny old world. Wonder what he
wanted?”
“Bugger!” said a small voice.
Madee spun around in a comical fashion, trying to locate the mysterious
speaker. “Who are you?” she asked apprehensively.
“My name is Thrisleblip. I’m the last mosquito…” And so the saga began.
