Ramblings From The Pub 4 – Kraken!
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle, brought to you in Glorious Blockeditor-o-vision! This week’s photo was contributed by Sandra Crook.
“Look, some bloke’s makin’ a TV doc’ment’ry.”
“Yup.”
… seaweed strewn around. And why, we ask ourselves? Has there been a flood? The work of kids, perhaps? Or maybe… just maybe… some kind of hideous sea creature? Ha ha! In fact, there is a legend hereabouts of ‘Krakenkin’, a monster similar to the famous ‘Kraken’. Why the similarity in names? Lack of imagination on the part of the local yokels, perhaps? Ha ha! No, it is this reporter’s view that kids were responsible for…
Roooooar! Aaaargh! Eeeek! Chomp! Splatter!
“Serves ‘im right. Hoity-toity big city toff.”
“Yup.”
“’Nother pint?”
“Yup.”

Another pint? When you have about 20 arms, you should order 20 pints…

Stupid git. Reporters really do have no brains sometimes (okay, a lot of times). Never get tired of your quirky tales 😀

Man that’s going to do wonders for the TV network’s ratings. I foresee the TV executives sending a new reporter each day. Not sure if the Krakenkin’s digestive system is up to it.

Your reporter should have practised social distancing with the Krakenkin; he’s deadly!

Some contend his final words were “hey, two metres, dude” 🙂

I bet Krakenkin has a pint now and then also, to wash down the paparazzi. Good story!
