FRIDAY FICTIONEERS - THE FLIGHT CLUB - MY 100 WORDS BY LINDA PALUND



FLIGHT CLUB

            “Watch this! He’s coming in for the kill!” Fred called, “That’s it, Ringo, you’re my bird!”
            “Stop him! Don’t let him kill Nester! We won’t have enough birds for next week!”
            Fred jumped the fence, batting Ringo away with a tennis racket.
            “Okay, folks, that’s the Kill Point.”  Scott declared, “Pay up.”
            The men grumbled, but they paid out the seashells they had collected all week. 
            Scott took his cut and handed the rest to Ed.
            “That was a close one,” Scot sighed, “You gotta watch it.  Those are the last two seabirds.  Once they’re gone, no more fight club.”

      I'm not even going to touch that line! And, Linda, nice combination of seagulls, Fight Club (maybe "Flight Club,' in this instance), and like Russell said.

      Now I feel stupid, because I missed the whole pun on "Flight Club". Oh well, glad you liked the story...

    If those are the last two seabirds they ought to be paying to watch them do something else and betting on the outcome of that. Great idea Linda.

    You are right about that - or maybe not? What do you think, pondering the habits of mankind, do you think they would prefer to watch a blood sport or a sex sport? Especially at the end of days...

    Dear Linda,

    You've been one too many days at the shore. A delightful tale, full of sound and fury, told about idiots and signifying everything. Love it.

    Aloha,

    Doug

    Sounds as though they have two males (at least by the names), so I don't think breaking up the fight is going to help things!
