I said I wasn’t going to do this, but I have anyway. Here's another
Flash Fiction on this weeks prompt for Friday Fictioneers – totally cause I need to use this character in a novel…
TWO
GUN GIRLIE GETS HER GOAT
Peachy
Keen Technologies catapults me everywhere to pick up packages. Tonight, I’m in
one of the planet’s last graveyards.
The
package turns out to be a ’Goat’, an illegally engineered clone. King Enterprises would love to get their
hands on it. Worse, we’ve heard the
locals are preparing to eat it.
“Hey,
Girlie!” It calls.
“Shush”
“Talking
goat, Girlie?” One of King’s men points a Chambers Pistol at me. Without thinking, I draw my spitfire, zap
him where he stands, grab the Goat’s collar and flip back to the lab.
“Thanks,”
sighs the Goat. “It’s a real zoo
out there.”
I like Peachy Keen Technologies. "Peachy keen" takes me way back. :-)
