Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge [Darleen Click]

The inspiration:

100worddummy

A story:

Even a craptastic hotel room can be free of the sound of angry voices …

Gun shots? Yeah, I’m sure that was!

… if the floor is high enough, night hour in the wee single digits.

Here I labor over new dialogue for the act, hunt-n-peck on a prehistoric typewriter, wondering again why I’m a performer. God knows, I seem to be the only one that comes up with gag lines that actually get, you know, laughs, yet he gets the credit and applause.

I hear him snort awake.

And he’d better not even start with that “Hi, dummy”.

************************************************************

Now, your turn.

Jimmi Bise offers a great story and a round up of participants.

    Brother Spartacus’s neck groaned like an old door opening as it turned to face George: ‘?u via laborposteno, malbenita vi !, a? mi tran?os vian malgrandan penison for’.

    Shoulders slumped in resignation, Soros left for classes.

  2. Damn coding!…

    Should read: ‘?u via laborposteno, malbenita vi !, a? mi tran?os vian malgrandan penison for.’

  3. Try again:

    ‘Cu via laborposteno, malbenita vi !, au mi trancos vian malgrandan penison for.’

    Damn special characters!

    Loosely translated: “I should never have dumped Danny for this little wood pecker.”

    One night, while Carlo slept, his comedy partner lay on a shelf by the hotel window. Seeing a star, the dummy made a wish.

    Twenty years later Joey was elected to the Senate from Delaware.

    Welp.

    There’s a Bizzaro Superman, so I don’t see why not a Bizzaro Jeff Dunham.

    Also (as a renowned dummy), I think the first 100 words that came out of that ventriloquist probably opened a gate to Hell.

    Me?

    “Well Oma and Opa were both First Wave. He was in the Bundeswehr for the Wet Firecracker and then served in Turkey during the first years of the reconstruction.”

    “My Pa now, he was Second Wave, he emigrated after two tours with the Royal Marines, mostly Argentina, but he also served in Jammu and Kashmir in ’50-55”.

    “As for what I’m doing? Well I volunteered to come on down and tell you folks that your not welcome here, but if you put your guns down, we will let you live”

    “Raise my hands? Have you read any Kipling?
