For the next scrap of something to write about I will either:
A. Mr. Woo helps Scaramanga find his courage and Scaramanga realizes that he has to help Captain Stuart Turnips rescue his crew.
B. Lord Turnips gets a cell phone call from Lady Turnips where he explains that Captain Stuart was wearing his life preserver when he left on the Blue Side of American as this whole storyline that took us to Macau began but that we hadn't heard from Captain Stuart Turnips in some time but we think we have a geo/chrono location of Macau in the 1960s and that we are enroute via Captain Nemo's submarine. She's mad that the boy probably has not been able to get a decent meal in Macau in the 1960s because all he eats in his regular timeline is chicken nuggets and he's probably been skipping meals.
C. We learn more about the Ur Gin and its connection/significance to Hong Kong history.
D. Chairman Mao is in fact in Hong Kong at this moment enjoying some hep cat bar where the jazz is free and the women aren't.
The obvious answer is B, although I like the Mickey Spillane attitude of D. We need more of that, your Spillane stuff is some of your best.
ReplyDeleteWriting Mickey Spillane style with Chinese accents could be demanding. I shall have to go into seclusion for many months and require a subsidized apartment to write in.
ReplyDeleteWe need to expedite the NEA grant process. The World needs this vital art.
I also believe the obvious answer is B because it is the longest and because Lady Turnips is now in the act - I was wondering when she would notice that Capt Stuart was missing.
