My Brother Looks Like He Escaped
your pisspot world’s sidereal shenanigans- Victory.
- from a roadside zoo in Florida
- governmental-seeming buildings
- ten mile hike with a full backpack
My brother looks like he escaped from a roadside zoo in Florida, but it was actually a lab out in the desert someplace. No roads to it at all, just an airstrip and some governmental-seeming buildings and a whole lotta hot, gritty wind. My brother showed up there after a ten mile hike with a full backpack, thinking they’d offer him a job. Instead they put him in a cage. It didn’t hold him, of course. He even got his backpack back. Victory. Anyway, you’re lucky you didn’t put a scratch on either of us, because our mom gets pissed. She’d show up in the Obliteron and deorbit this sorry little rock, thus putting an end to your pisspot world’s sidereal shenanigans.
I was hoping for a continuation of the chain story, but this is well done. I suppose the sidereal shenanigans would have been a challenge to continuity.
I didn’t want it to veer off into a parody of a chain story, especially because it would have fit the stereotypical case where the dude is the one who wants it to be scifi or action all the time.
I could have used a device to encapsulate the sidereal shenanigans as part of a book or something in-universe, which could have figured in a flashback. But that’s also kind of a chain story trope — jumping out of the timeline to avoid some corner you’ve gotten written into.
So, yeah. I went off and did something else. We’ll get back to Tessa and her fellers soon, I’m sure.
