Immutable

Random quote of the day:

“I was reminded of the Four Immutable Laws of the Spirit: Whoever is present are the right people. Whenever it begins is the right time. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened. And when it’s over, it’s over.”

—Anne Lamott, Some Assembly Required: A Journal of My Son’s First Son

Down Portalville Way: The Blob

1. Let me Thread you a story… (1-11)
2. A big orange blob parked itself in the town square. Just appeared overnight and plugged up the fountain something fierce.
3. Trapper Bruce poked it with a stick & it blatted something that sounded like “Sad!” then barfed chicken fat out of one of its orifices.
4. Sheriff Limonada suggested taking a flamethrower to it, but nobody had one of those, so a mob with torches formed up.
5. I don’t really hold with mobs carrying torches myself as many an innocent creature has been declared a monster by them.
6. But this blob gave off a foul odor of corruption & kept getting bigger, spreading all over the fountain and the park benches around it.
7. It exploded soon as the first torch hit it. Guess it wasn’t much more than a giant gasbag filled with grease. Burned real good.
8. The fountain ain’t never going to be the same, though. The nymphs who frequented it have been debauched & are quite traumatized.
9. They had to go to Aunt Cozy’s Soothin’ Shack for some deep soothin’. Don’t know if they’ll ever return to the fountain.
10. Only one happy about the situation was Natty Knowles who owns Spic n’ Span Like It Never Happened Cleaning Service.
11. One of his biggest jobs in recent memory. I hope we’re all done with explosive orange blobs.
