The Feral Peril (2006)
“And things were heating up at the championship.
The scene: courtside.
The crowd: mesmerised.
The mood: tenser than a stolen guitar string, more expectant than a heavily pregnant elephant and suffused with that regrettable vibe you often get with defectively mixed metaphors.
The weather: lovely day, rows of single-cell monsters catchin’ some rays, photosynthesising in the sun like ragged lines of deformed carrots.
The smell: a mix of fear, stress, anticipation and B.O., because you’re standing t...oo close. Back off, whiffy.
The players: Mick Living-Dead versus Frankie J. Mummy.
The action: extreme. Fifteen rounds down with the sixteenth just finishing.
We’ll let the Skull full of bull do the talking … ‘Bill, sixteenth round just ended amid mad controversy with Mick Living-Dead – normally a very lively player for a dead guy – beaten by Frankie J. Mummy, who’s rubbish. Dead serious.’ ‘You’re right, Sirius, though I should point out that F.J. Mummy isn’t made of rubbish; that’s the garbage monster, Anton Grunge-Debris, created by a mad professor living at the Horror dump with too much time on his hands.’ Skull nodded.MoreLess
