The Never Ending Story

.. “Is this what I am supposed to do, end my life?” She looked up at the sky half expecting an answer. Looking back towards the ground she saw her father waving his arm like he was trying to tell her to go back. “Go back! Things are not as bad as you think they are. Life will get better. Just give it a change.” Florence began to move slowly away from…..

...the edge of the high dive platform. Florence couldn't swim and she just knew she was asking for trouble if she really did the double flip cannon ball she had promised her friends she would do in that crazy bet. Why did she make that bet anyway? Oh, right.....it was that boy she was trying to impress. The high dive champion of Barkdog County....

 

[amethist]

As Barkdog County was a fitting name, mainly because they were all barking mad there. The young boys, were always doing crazy stuff, usually egging on the...

.... dangerous side of life. They said it was what made them feel alive. But the older more mature residents of Barkdog County knew only too well the reality and the consequences of living on the wild side of life. They were ……..

Remembering the victims of all those chicken matches with the John Deer tractors that took place all those years ago out on Old Skank Road. Mere decades could not erase the memories of the carnage of those blood matches, the awful carnage, the twisted wrecks as one reckless youth after another failed to swerve at the last moment. Barkdog County was rife with the limping veterans and widows of those awful days and nights, bodies in its cemetaries stacked like as if in eternal bunk beds.

It was because of those carnage filled matches of chicken that everyone in Barkdog County had vowed to never use a John Deer for fighting again. Late one night at the town hall meeting, Buck McCallister suggested that they use Riverdancing contests as a way to compete instead. Everyone cheered their approval of his great idea!

But the steel toe capped wellingtons that everyone wore, could be a problem.

 

[sisu]

But it wasn't a problem that couldn't be solved. So, they decided to incorporate the steel capped wellingtons into the dance....sort of tap & river dancing combined. Esmeralda and Constance ran out of the meeting quickly as they wanted to get started on sewing the most extravagent costume imaginable....

 

[Brontie]

It was almost time to reveal their creations, their master pieces. It had been planned for months and now it was time to forget all the other problems if only for one night and go have some fun and some….

Hog Sqeezin hoe-downs. It was rumoured Bridey McPhmurphy would be dancing tonight. Bridey had been exchanging sexual favours for political gain for decades and at 103 she showed no signs of slowing down. The advent of Viagra had done much to prolong the devotion of her enslaved cisebos, hence her grip of power in Barkdog County remained intact. Old Skank Road was named after her. If the chicken battles there were to be a thing of the past then by Gawd Bridey would strap on her bedazzled steel-toed wellies and dance up a scandalous storm to keep her choke hold on this county. 'So what' she thought with a smug chuckle, ' If a lovely woman forgets her panties under the tu-tu '.

Bridey played a dirty game down in Barkdog County.

 

[sisu]

Esmeralda and Constance caught wind of Brideys sneaky plan and weren't going to sit back and let Bridey steal the show! A "wardrobe malfunction" might just happen to Esmeralda's costume that would make all of Bark Dog County remember her and secure her place as "the new skank in town".

Except suddenly for Bridey, Esmeralda had gotten to her costume first, when on stage her boob dropped out and hit the floor... at 103 and all. "Oh no" shouted the crowd, "she did a Janet Jackson." Suddenly...
