Nanc Twop’s Submission For Round Two of The RTWS

Below is a story using the topics from Round 2 of the Random Topics Writing Series submitted by Nanc Twop whose blog is located here.

The ability to fit 15 random topics in so short a story is impressive. The feat reminds me of Mark Twain’s statement that he wanted to write a short letter, but he didn’t have enough time so he wrote a long one instead.

Without further ado, Nanc’s story.

‘Astronomy’ by Nanc (for TDW’s challenge)

Had to tell someone, so I went to my best pal. He runs a micro-lending bank in a vacant lot, under the shade of a toothpick tree. His business was slow that day, so I talked while we drank. We got through a fifth of Jack Daniels before he spoke.

‘You’ll get your revenge; we’re going to Torquemada!’

‘We’re going to see the leader of The Tube Police!?’

‘No, no, ‘Torquemada’, the pepper capital of Spain.’

‘Huh? – I don’t get it – I’m as lost as a bear in a 12-step program.’

Ignoring my confusion he continued: ”Those college ’sports’ from the astrolab that glued Uranus open while they poured in Ugandan coffee? We’ll return the favor. We’re getting the hottest peppers T-town sells, and stuffing them into their wormholes so far that they’ll glow like radioactive isotopes. They’ll be singing a ‘Neptune’ when we get done. Heck, they’ll be blowing bubbles out their kazoos that’ll kill a tarantula at five paces. Lets go.”

Two days later, a new Big Bang took place. Success.

(the end, as it were)
