The Mega Challenge as
The Ongoing Adventures of Agent 012

Agent 012 had found the Mercedes of Mellifluous Vandersnot just outside of Drummsy. But the girl, now calling herself Blue Violet, and her friend Tora Tora were no where to be seen. The car was locked up tight . Agent 012 brought out his electronic key simulator console and set it to find the right code and open the door. It set off the car alarm and then after a minute or so the trunk lid flew up. Before he could look in the trunk it closed and the alarm stopped. Then a strange sequence began the alarm would resume and then the trunk would fly open again only to close with the alarm stopping. Agent 012 began to think that his key simulator which was a Polish import was not going to be the answer. The system on the Mercedes was just too complex. So he took his car jack and the next time the trunk opened he jammed in the jack so it couldn’t close. There was smoke and odd noises and suddenly the car doors flew open. Agent 012 looked in the trunk and found a strange bunch of items. There was a dead bass, a bow and arrow, a broken bass fiddle, a plastic sow, a pussy looking bandage, a bottle of furniture polish, a stuffed pussy cat, a very small doll house., and a shirt that had been patched by a very poor sewer. None of this made any sense to him. Why would anybody house all these items in the trunk of a car?
He called the Agency and got Tod Watkins the new intern, as yet unnumbered . Then he described the items to Tom and asked for some ideas. Tom suggested that they sounded like items from a scavenger hunt. Agent 012 told him not to talk foolishness when the lives of two young people were at stake.
AS he hung up Agent 012 wondered how an intern that had such an impressive resume could come up with such stupid answers. Lacking any constructive Agency help, and being sure the items were of no import, Agent 012 decided to go over the rest of the car looking for any minute detail that could help him find the couple. But the search yielded nothing. Finishing his examination of the car he tried valiantly to lock it up but couldn’t. An old saying kept coming to his mind “ What you sow you shall also reap.” It was, of course, his fault that the doors wouldn’t lock . On his last try the front door swung open hitting him, as he was standing too close, and knocking him down an embankment into a creek. The creek smelled like it was the discharge of some sewer system and Agent 012 now smelled the same.
This was not turning out to be his day.

The ten word challenge-Poor Pussy Cat

The bedraggled pussy lived in an apartment complex in Mudville but she was a long way from home. She had jumped up into that truck to get the dead bass that was lying there just as the truck left for the country. The truck belonged to a Polish worker on the Janson farm complex and that fish was supposed to be his supper. He was not at all happy to find a cat eating it and threatened to take all nine of her lives. In fact she lives only because she leaped from the truck and ran to the barn which was close. He chased after her but then decided to just close the barn door and resume chasing her later . He was already late for his next task which was to sow some seed in the upper forty. After that he had to feed the owner’s prize sow. The poor cat knocked a bottle of furniture polish off the top of an old console on its way to what seemed to be a minute hole in the barn wall. It squeezed through the hole and headed down the road to Mudville If she got home she knew her owner would take her up in his arms and console her. But now she had to get home. And minute by minute she did.

The mini challenge-Dr. House

Dr. House the in house surgeon was asked to house the new intern at his house. He responded by telling them they would have to intern the intern somewhere else as he was interning nobody at his house. It seems his sewer had backed up and even his renter who was a sewer by trade had left because of the odor. The committee felt the odor would be of no import because they could import some crystal substance that would absorb it. So Dr. House agreed and if he wasn’t so bow legged he would have taken a bow.

All fifteen words in one sentence -Sow Saving

The Veterinary Intern , Bass House, at the last minute wanted to close his bow import business and resume the use of his electric console in the complex treatment of the pussy, sewer smelling, growth on the back of the Polish sow thus saving the lives that would be lost if the disease spread.

Of course the dragons were busy today you can see them HERE.

Wrap UP

This was supposed to be a day spent with my grandsons. It started out okay except it was a really hard breathing day. We went out to lunch and I became ill so we dropped the family at the next place they were going and Penny brought me home. I spent the rest of the day either in bed or in the bathroom. I feel a bit better now. It is both hot and muggy . Now I need a breathing treatment.
