REQUIEM FOR SOME ICE-CREAM
A cool breeze ruffled PooperScooper's hair as he looked out at the calm sea. He breathed in, enjoying the smell of the air before putting his helmet on and starting up the bike. As he was riding along, he thought various thoughts. Though he couldn't get away from one thought. The thought, of Kashluk.
It started to rain, the water on his face cooled him as he pushed the bike to 120mph. Faster and faster, he kept accelerating. The rain mixed in with his tears, he couldn't stop thinking about Kashluk and the total oblivion it brang. He screamed "KASHLUK!" to himself, hoping it would ease the pain of his obsession. The bike kept speeding over the horizon, like a missile heading for Kashluk's house.
Later he sat underneath a tree and stared at the night sky. He had lit a small fire and was about to go to sleep when there was a disturbance in the bushes. "Kashluk?" he wondered. A shaky old black man stepped out of the shadows. "May I join you?" said the stranger, his eyes bulging out of his head. Pooperscooper nodded, watching the strange little man bringing out a cigar. "My name...is Blargh." whispered the stranger, whistling through cracked teeth. "What happened to your eyes?" The man didn't have any eyelids. "I lost them in the Vietnam war. I had to survive on the eyelids of dead comrades for a week." PooperScooper nodded, lifting up his shirt to reveal a solid gold body. "I lost my body in 'Nam." The two veterans nodded at each other.
The bike sped along, PooperScooper and his new friend perched just above the powerful engine. "Where are we going?" screamed Blargh, tears streaming down his face in the wind. PooperScooper was silent then without warning, elbowed Blargh in the face. The man backflipped off the bike and his head splattered along the ground. PooperScooper grimaced, he was so near to Kashluk now he could feel it vibrating around his golden body.
PooperScooper walked along the lawn, his body quaking. He had reached a house with a single door in it and what sounded like a guitar played loudly inside. Punching down the door, he stepped into a slimy corridor. The smell of sugarless gum was overpowering and tears welled up in his eyes. A bare lightbulb lit a stack of furniture that Kashluk seemed to have barricaded himself into the house with. Above all this, the guitar kept wailing.
Punching his way through the furniture he had reached the main room. There was a pool in the centre with glow-sticks floating on the top, illuminating the whole room. In the centre of the pool lay Kashluk, playing a guitar and floating on a rubber ring. PooperScooper grabbed a nearby speaker and threw it against a wall and this seemed to awaken Kashluk from his soldier metal rave. The man was dressed head to toe in leather, but there was no mistaking that bulge. This was Kashluk alright.
"Kashluk..." The two nemesii stared at each other. One armed with a guitar in his fortress of Finnish might. The other had a solid gold body and the strength of two small men. "I've been waiting for this moment since I entered your house. You have done a great injustice to me." Kashluk played a few chords on his guitar. "Grandma didn't let me watch Yu-Gi-Oh." sighed the fearsome Finn. "I see your point." Both men nodded, they had heard this philosophy before.
Pooperscooper pulled out a toaster and hastily slammed in two slices of bread. Kashluk scrambled underneath the ring and pulled out a piece of sandpaper. He pushed the ring along the water with his hands, sandpaper swinging menacingly. PooperScooper started to shake in anticipation as Kashluk neared the waters edge. "Come here." whispered the leather-clad swell guy. There was a clicking and Pooperscooper smiled. The toast shot through the air and Kashluk received both barrels in the face. "Grandma...I have avenged you."
