FF – Rated PG
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Brenda Cox.
Whoooooooshhh!
“We’re here!”
“Why do portals always seem to spit people out in anonymous deserted alleys with foreign writing?”
“It is the way of things. Look, there they are! Take cover!”
Rat-a-tat-a-tat! Bang! Whizz! Pee-ow! Bang! Bang! Rat-a-tat! Hail of bullets! Ka-blam! Rat-a-tat!
“They’re not very good shots, are they?”
“No. They’ve destroyed everything except us. Seems unlikely. Wait a minute…”
“What?”
“Just checking. Ah. I suspected as much.”
“What?”
“We’re rated ‘PG’.”
“’PG’? Oh, man.”
“Yeah. If I can’t grin evilly while snapping someone’s neck I’m not interested.”
“Me neither. I want blood and gore. Let’s portal home.”
“Yep.”
Whoooooooshhh!
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Blasted rating system, and being applied to holiday experiences now!

I wonder if the virtual holidays in “Total Recall” allowed you to choose your holiday rating?

Yep, unless PG stands for “Present Gore,” I’m not interested. I love “Hail of bullets!” as a sound effect.

I thought “hail of bullets” said it all… 😉

You know I’ve fantasized about many places I’ll visit when time travel becomes reality. Into the middle of a PG movie was not one of them. Enjoyable inventive creativity in this story.

Well, a 15 or 18 cert might be more action-packed, but a lot more dangerous. Maybe go for a 12/12A 🙂

I don’t know what those are?

Sorry, 12/15/18 – suitable for persons aged 12/15/18 or over. 12A means if you’re under 12 you can enter if accompanied by an adult 🙂

It’s good to see the Korean language at the shopping alley. But the funny sound of the words made me laugh.

I was wondering what language it was, I was careful not to be too specific about the location!

That was a funny one. Definitely not what I expected when the spit hit the spam and bullets started raining down. Good one.

They could have dropped themselves into an X movie. Would have been a whole lot more fun than snapping some necks….

For sure! Maybe an X-rated James Bond type thing where they can do both…

Yes, maybe they’ll get a full-on action one next time. And get killed 😮

PG is no way to have fun. Who knew? lol

It’s okay for a comedy but for action you need at least a 15 cert 🙂

Made me laugh. there are so many films where the action just goes on and on and on but the never run out of bullets.

Yes, it’s amazing how many bullets these prop guns hold.

Lol! The shooters sound like they’re storm troopers, but the PG rating explains it. Funny story, Ali! 🙂
LikeLike
Ha, yes, I always find it funny that in A New Hope when they find the dead Jawas Obi Wan mentions that only Imperial storm troopers are so precise, but thereafter they don’t seem to be able to hit anything!

It doesn’t sound like where they came from is much better than where they landed. Fun stuff.

Dear Rochelle,
They’re not having much luck a the moment. They should be thankful they’re in a PG with all those bullets!

That was fun! And such a good take – portalling into a film, and a PG one at that. And the gradual reveal of what was happening – great! Love it.

They prefer blood and gore even if it’s their own. Methinks they didn’t quite think this through…

No, they’ll be glad of the PG if they end up in an 18 next…
