Produce and Production (2-11-18)



[WP] A serious story where every sentence manages to contain the name of a fruit. [Link to post.]

 "A is for apple, isn't that right?" Rodney Fig sat nervously in the bright white interrogation room. A large mirror sat on the wall behind officer Lemon. Rodney knew from TV that there were likely a bunch of officers in there packed like grapes, just waiting for him to trip up. "Being the fine produce manager you are, I'm sure you know B is for banana. But things get really interesting when we get to C, don't they Fig?" The officer gripped Rodney's shoulder like one might test the firmness of an avocado.

 "C isn't for....cherry. No, not cherry. Not cantaloupe, clementine, or even cucumbers." Officer Lemon stood in front of Rodney and stared down at him through hard blue eyes. "C is for cocaine, not crab apples. So what do you know about the cocaine, Fig?" Rodney shrugged like a banana trying to squeeze out of its peel. 

 "I don't know anything about the cocaine in the watermelon!" Rodney yelled with his face red as a strawberry.

 "Watermelon? Who said anything about a watermelon?" Officer Lemon stared through the glass mirror and shrugged.

 "I uh, no one said watermelon. I know produce though, and watermelon is the only thing that would make sense. I just jacked myself up like a jackfruit, didn't I?" Sadness filled Rodney's eyes and he stared at the bunch of grapes some bored suspect carved into the interrogation table. Officer Lemon shook his head.

 "You're free to walk, Fig. You obviously don't know anything about the cocaine found in your peach pits." Rodney chuckled to himself, then shrugged.

 "That seems like a stupid place to hide anything, even hollowed out pears would be better." Rodney Fig walked out of the police station, and seconds later his phone rang. The display showed a honeydew melon with hearts around it.

 "Yeah they tossed me out like an apple core once I convinced them I didn't know anything. Anyway, quit filling the peach pits, and move on to pears."

B-Squad (6-29-18)

[WP] You have lived on earth your whole life. One morning, you wake up in the center of a modestly sized crater, as you look about you see fields of violet-tinted grass, a faint red sun in the sky overhead, and two moons in *much* closer orbit than our own. [ Link to post .] Lupe Villalobos standing around in a crater would not answer any questions. She reached up one of the sides gripping the violet grass around the upper rim of the hole. The texture of the violet grass felt the same as the green grass on Earth. The girl's coppery hair shimmered under the moonlight that she was making a point to ignore. She scanned the large field, turning slowly and staring out along the grassy plain.  "Whoaaaaa," Lupe whispered to herself. Despite the situation, she marveled at the beauty of wherever she was. The sight encouraged her to face the two moons she purposely kept at her back. She turned around and found that she could still feel surprised.  "Hi." Underneath...

Luck be a Lady (10-18-17)

You alone have the ability to give any "power" you wish to anybody any time... but you're also really petty and use it for revenge / personal amusement [ link to post ] “No, it’s fine, go ahead and cut me off you bastard. Obviously you’re more important than I am,” I whined at the green truck that suddenly decided it needed to be in front of me to catch a turn. I needed to pump the brakes a bit, but it was more annoying than dangerous. I breathed deeply, trying to calm down. For my wife’s sake I began taking anger management courses, and they seemed to be working. I calmed down and forgave the rude bastard. It felt good to forgive him, and I smiled to myself when I decided I wanted good things for that person. “Your safety is now a major priority for all policemen within a 10 mile radius of you,” I said aloud. I was alone in my car. Speaking helped me focus, though I did not need to say the words aloud. It was not long before red and blue flashing lights appe...
