“Help,” pleaded another Sprite emerging from the ocean. “I don’t know where I am.”

“The gap between the world of the living and the lands of the dead, yadda, yadda,” replied Cuttle. “What’s the last thing you remember?”

“Two pills,” sighed Sprite. “One would kill me and the other would make me forget my family.”

The trio watched another Sprite sink into the sand. “I had to swallow one,” it cried, “my child would have the other.”

Man, I need to dip back into horror more. I’m sure this idea was in a film or TV program. Possibly an old Twilight Zone? Be darned if I can remember where I’ve seen it though.

“Well, then she suggested we get another parrotfish in for a threesome,” grumbled Parrotfish.

“Oooh, now I wouldn’t be up for that,” said Jelly.

“Threesomes?” asked Parrotfish.

“Yeah,” sighed Jelly. “If I wanted to disappoint two people at once, I’d have dinner with my parents…”

“You look sexier than usual today,” observed Parrotfish.

“Yeah, I left my bra at home,” sighed Jelly.

“Well, you look just fine,” replied Parrotfish. “Hey, I noticed the last Sprite that came through had a wireless brazier.”

“Jeez, bras are enough of a pain in the arse, as is,” grumbled Jelly. “Now they need a wi-fi password?”

“Do you know what’s odd?” asked Spectre. “Yuffie once said you and I are ideas, hopes or dreams of the same person. I’ve met thousands of Sprites, but I’m the only one of me.”

“That is odd,” sighed Sprite. “Do you know what else is odd?”

“Numbers that aren’t divisible by two,” replied Spectre.

They chuckled and looked up the road.

“You’re thinking about it again,” sighed Sprite. “Walking up the road to the afterlife.”

“Everything ends, man,” said Spectre. “Even ideas like us.”

“Ideas of what?” asked Sprite. “We don’t even know what we are. For all you know we’re a memory of a circus that burned down.”

“Now that would be in-tents,” pondered Spectre.

“Did you see that Freddie Mercury biopic?” asked Spectre.

“Yeah, I got a download of it,” replied Sprite. “I think it was a cinema recording.”

“What makes you say that?” asked Spectre.

“Because,” sighed Sprite, “I saw a little silhouetto of a man.”

“Would you look at that,” pondered Spectre.

“They’re the smallest peppers I have ever seen,” said Sprite.

“Maybe we should find a blanket to put on them,” said Spectre.

“Good idea,” replied Sprite. “They look a little chilli.”

“I sometimes think there’s a deeper meaning to our constant puns,” pondered Spectre.

“Yeah,” replied Sprite. “Some puns just can’t die.”

“I assume you heard about the ten-pun pile up on the M62 a few weeks back?” asked Spectre. “All of them survived.”

“It was a spot of luck,” said Sprite. “No pun in ten-dead.”

“Wait,” cried Sprite, as Swamp Fiend began dragging her beneath the soil. “You don’t want to eat me! I was a pirate! I have scurvy and moles on my back.”

Swamp Fiend turned Sprite over. “Looks like they’re benign.”

“Count again,” replied Sprite. “I think there be ten.”

A squelch, a pop and another Sprite was gone.
