“On Like Donkey Kong” – My own great attempt at a short story, writing fiction, 100% my own work. Enjoy the story.
This is my attempt at the above submission: “On like donkey kong.” This was completed for an online subject course I am aiming to complete. I think its easy, and sassy and a bit funny – perhaps a little bit serious. Enjoy.
My attempt at a short story, writing fiction, 100% my own work. Enjoy the story.
Stuart was “on”! So “on like donkey kong”! He’d had three shots of vodka from the bar, liquid fire to steel his nerves, and now sat wiping his forehead dry with a wad of napkins.
It might be a work-flight, but it was a flight nevertheless. As he prepared to board , scrolling for the last time before cellphones were to be turned off, the news on his phone alerted him to the devastating plane crash.
No thank you. He turned a full one hundred and eighty degrees , apologised to the grey haired manager standing alongside, and started moving towards the airport’s nearest exit. Perhaps he would consider a flight again when it was not heading to Nepal. He had a son to worry about, his beautiful caramel coloured baby boy. Why chance it.
His car was parked at the airport’s medium term parking, but right now his pores held tell tale signs of the potato spirit. Settling into the Uber to take him to the local office, he realised with obscene clarity, “I need a new gig”.
