FF – Absolute Power – How To Handle Those Little Issues

Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by C.E. Ayr.

I couldn’t really think of anything this week. Very busy with work and then I spent the evening on a long walk so time got away from me!

“And so, children, the blast of sound from the speakers blows the sand off the beach, thus leading to loss of land mass.”

“Sir, my mummy said it’s to do with The Climate Change, and…”

“FALSE NEWS! Go and stand in the corner!”

“Yes, Sir sniffle sniffle.”

 

Later…

“We can’t have this, Mr Trimp. I know your third cousin is a big shot in the States, but even so… if nothing else, your bright orange skin is scaring the kids.”

“Grr…”

Ring ring

“Hey cuz, I have a problem needs “handling”… Headmaster annoyance… yes, make it look like an accident again…”

    Just a little injection of bleach should take care of it.

    Wouldn’t it be great to ‘accidentally’ change the paint stuff in the spray booth from orange to green?

    Sounds like someone needs to peel that orange skin of his back.

    Makes me think of the video where Mr.Trimp’s third cousin visits a children’s class and panic breaks out. If only the average American voter could be as smart as the kids…

    But does he have white circles on his orange face? That’s the true sign of a Trimp.

    Wonderfully quirky and funny. You conjure up the normality of the classroom scene then turn it on its head ! Well done.
