Lounge Lizard

Posted on by LittleFears

Brass Ep. 8

Copper noticed a novelty chameleon toy on the shelf. She picked it up and removed its packaging.

“Hello,” she said, turning it over in her hands. It had LED lights down its flanks, a colour change button on its belly and a USB power cord curled around itself for a tail. She pulled a power bank off the shelf and plugged the chameleon in. It sputtered to life, giving off a blue glow.

She pushed the colour change button, and nothing happened. Giving it a shake, Copper heard a rattle from within. She laid the lizard down on the shelf and gave it a little wave.

It’s a shame the creature was stuck on blue. Blue’s not a colour Copper liked. She figured it’s not the lizard’s fault. A reptile dysfunction can happen to anyone.

  10. Well, the coffee through my nose didn’t do the bluetooth keyboard any good, but it was worth it.

    I owned one of those oil vaporizers that was supposed to have adjustable colors. It lost it and began to strobe in different colors. All I needed was a disco ball. I suppose in its death throes i was steam punk.

    1. Ooof. Sorry about the keyboard.

      Ahh, those trashy multicoloured things we’ve all owned at least once. I had a lava lamp once. Given to me as a Christmas gift. Wasn’t sure why. I’d barely finished saying thank you and I already had it listed on Ebay. They never seem to vanish entirely from shops, do they?

      1. No. And I bought five of them at a garage sale for $1. What was I thinking? Gifts? Light up the garage? Put them on the keyboards? Arrrr. Finally threw all but the glitter one away. Some things, even if you don;t use them often, are almost worth keeping.
