Terminal

LittleFears7 Comments
 

“Kill her,” flashed the terminal.

Kathy looked behind her. There was a woman using a terminal, on the other side of the room. Quite tall, but delicate looking. Slender arms and legs. Her thin dress seemed to hang of her bones. Easy mark.

Kathy turned back to the terminal. “Kill her.”

A shadow loomed up behind her, as a slender arm bought a hammer down upon the back of Kathy’s head.

“As you ask,” said the slender woman to her terminal.

“Why is Blue lugging around a net filled with humans rubber rings and water toys?” asked Sprite.

“Poor fella ain’t well,” replied Spectre.

“Oh dear,” replied Sprite. “What’s up with him?”

“He got diagnosed with kleptomania last week,” sighed Spectre.

“Darn,” said Sprite. “Has he taken anything for it?”

“Is that Spectre?” asked Fuen.

“Yeah,” replied Yuffie. “He is trying to get Hydras dog down.”

“From up there?” gasped Fuen.

“Yeah,” sighed Yuffie. “We need to get him to a pet psychologist.”

“Why?” asked Fuen.

“He is scared of small dogs,” grumbled Yuffie.

“A Great Dane?” laughed Fuen. “Scarred of a Jack Russell?”

“Oh yes,” sighed Yuffie. “Utterly terrier’fied.”

Pets

“He’s angry again,” sighed Yuffie, awaiting the destruction.

“If his pets were better behaved it would help,” moaned Spectre.

“How so?” asked Fuen.

“Well his hamster for example,” said Spectre. “His hamster spent 3 months asking for a home gym, and eventually Spider spent £7,000 on equipment.”

“Cripes!” exclaimed Fuen. “What happened then?”

“Eh,” sighed Spectre. “It didn’t work out.”

Pool

“So I told Red,” declared Yuffie, “he has to swim in the sea now.”

“Why’s that?” asked Fuen, arriving in time to miss the conversation.

“Because the life guard at the pool caught Red peeing in the deep end,” said Yuffie.

“Oh dear,” sighed Fuen.

“Lifeguard blew his whistle so loud,” continued Yuffie, “Red almost fell in.”

Ant

He held the magnifying glass above the ant. Every time it started to burn, it would manage to get out of the focus of the heat.

“Try pinchin’ it’s legs off,” said James.

He reached down, gently holding the ant under his thumb, sheared each of its legs off with his nail.

Once immobile, the lens came back out, the ant began burning again.

Funny the things you remember, when you have been drugged and left paralysed under a glass roof on the hottest day of the year.

“I think he went there looking for star signs,” said Yuffie.

“Funny that,” said Hydra, “I was in a pet shop the other day looking at goldfish.”

“Oh aye?” replied Yuffie.

“Yeah,” said Hydra. “This guy comes up to me and asks if I want an aquarium.”

“Mmhmm” mumbled Yuffie.

“I tells him,” continued Hydra, “I don’t really care what star sign it is.”
