Five-word Story

[Virgil Showlion]

Archie, "but not before she
literally bore her teeth at
me. And that's the least
of what's weird tonight. BTDT
is missing. Chiver keeps muttering

appeared another figure beneath the
table. Virgil. Wild-eyed, clutching a
.38 special. He forced it into
Iggy's hands, saying, "In less
than an hour, Moon isn't

at the handgun and shuddered.
"Take care of" Moon? Moon
was scheduled to give the
administrator's address at 11:30. There
had to be another way.

[Virgil Showlion]

Something just wasn't adding up.
"Let's find Lassie," Iggy tugged
at Arch's lapels. "She has
a degree in paranormal zoology.
She might be able to

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

tell us what wer're dealing
with here. Then we might
be able to figure out how
to stop this creature before
things get beyond this point".

[Virgil Showlion]

"Lassie scares me," Arch admitted,
"but not as much as
whatever Moon's transforming into. I
saw Lassie sneaking Twinkies into
the powder room. She's probably

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

... needing the sugar for energy
and grabbed a couple quickly
before Iggy scarfed them all
down. You know how Iggy
gets" he said nudging Virgil.

[Virgil Showlion]

(How in the blue Iggy did Virgil show up? )

Arch's jaw dropped. "Is that—"
"Yes." Iggy replied morosely, watching
Moon's tiny black tail swishing
to and fro inside her
pants. "To the bathroom. Now."

[Virgil Showlion]

...Virgil in real life, contemplating what (besides a tail) Iggy had in mind.

Arch, who'd never before seen
a tampon dispenser. Lassie was
sitting in the far stall,
hurriedly sucking the Twinkie foam
off her fingers. She stiffened

As she braced herself for
a huge juicy fart, her
buttocks spread and out gushed
the nastiest smelling green cloud
of rancid air spreading slowly

[Virgil Showlion]

through the room. "It's nothing
to be ashamed of," Lassie
said indignantly. "Some people even
consider it a superpower. Why
are you guys here, anyway?"

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

<<gives Doc the evil-eye>>

"That wasn't me" she explained.
"Someone was in the next
stall over. I didn't recognize
the shoes. There's obviously an
interloper among us. But who?"

[Virgil Showlion]

"Uh... yeah..." Iggy stroked her
neck nervously, thinking it best
not to mention that the other
stalls were open and obviously
unoccupied. "We have a furry

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

creature skittering across the floor
in there. It can't be
a rat or cat. It's
much too large - and appears
to have spotted markings!"

[Virgil Showlion]

Indeed, a gray dappled raccoon
had wandered into their midst.
"They sense danger," explained Lassie,
"This little fellow understands what
Moon is becoming: lupus lycanthropæ."

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

"Hmmm - that would explain the
odd bite marks, wouldn't it..."
said Lassie. "This is very
puzzling. I'm concerned she may
suddenly lunge without any warning".

[Virgil Showlion]

Iggy cut into Lassie's ruminations:
"How is the transformation undone?"
"It's tricky," said Lassie. "Firstly,
the wolf who bit her
needs to bite her again."

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

.. that Iggy had left lying
on the floor. "How can
she eat that cr*p?" Lassie
thought. "The root we need
to find is very rare".....

[Virgil Showlion]

"...and can only be ordered
off of avalon.com. We fashion
it into a capsule and...
well, it's a suppository. Up
it goes, then lastly, we'll

sounded from the dance hall.
Iggy, Arch, and Lassie scrambled
out of the bathroom for
a look. They let out
a collective cry when they

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

"Can't whoever threw that net
tell the difference between people
and a dappled wolf?", shouted
Lassie. "Idiot!" "Now which pocket's
holding my Swiss Army Knife?"

[Deleted]

"Oh, my gosh!" Heart, sighed" "Last we saw the Swiss, Lass, was in the top left pocket of your navy blue shirt, hanging in your closet."

'Oh, what big teeth we have, someone thought to themselves.' "Is it possible for us to gnaw our way out of here, whispered the thoughtful one"..

[Virgil Showlion]

"OK. We prioritize." Iggy bore
down on the group. "Arch,
chew us out of here. Lass,
find were-BTDT and bring her
back here ASAP. I'll get

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

... working on cutting through some
of the ropes. This is going
to work up a thirst".
"Check the cooler for any
refreshments, Virgil" she shouted out.

"Night fall is coming quickly!"
We must hurry, cried Heart.
"I'm afraid of the dark.."
The silent one looked around...
'Are we trapped?' she thought..

[Virgil Showlion]

"Feh. Chewing through nets is
my specialty," Arch replied, as
though in response to her
ruminations. With a brief flashing
of teeth and a chainsawesque

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

... rumble, he set to work ---
gnashing through the net like
a hot knife through butter.
"Child's play" he uttered as
he ripped and tore the mesh.

[Deleted]

The quiet one noticed something..
Arch's tongue was turning blue!
The net was poison laden..
'I remember seeing this before'...
Arch!!.. Please stop the chewing..

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

"Arch's tongue is BLUE??" shrieked
Lassie. "This is vital information.
It wasn't a wolf or
leopard that bit Moon. T'was
Arch! - He's a Bull Mastiff !!"
