COCKTAILS TO DIE FOR
‘Hey – here’s the Galaxy Bus now –jam packed already ?’
‘Step on board folks, always room for more, we have aeons of space’.
‘What’s this place we’re going to Archie ?’
‘Only the best in planet UB313,’ Titus, ‘The Quasar Bar’
‘Heard they have cocktails to die for, it’s nuclear fission in a glass !’
‘Heard bad rumours Zara’….’ Customers vaporise …atomised and never seen again.’
‘I want to get off now! ‘
‘Too late we’re already in Nebula Boulevard’.
‘Persephone here says she’s been before and it’s quite nice.’

I think she should pass on the cocktails. Amusing take on the prompt.

Hmm, cocktails to die for. I surely hope not! Entertaining tale and creative take on the prompt.

I appreciate your comment Brenda – glad that you were entertained.

Nice take – though Persephone saying it’s a nice place wouldn’t fill me with confidence!

Aargh, Neil commented almost word-for-word what I was going to say!. Never mind, I’m sure these cocktails aren’t nearly as dangerous…

Great minds and all ! Cocktails can be wild colours can’t they ?

Dear Francine,
I get the feeling that these cocktails are to die for in the most literal sense. Creative story. I think I’ll shy away from that party. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle

Thank you Rochelle, I won’t be going to that party either.

Does Archie even know who Persephone is? Oh my – he might not realise to die for is literal.
What a fun read, Francine!

Left me smiling. Lots of intrigue, fun, possible danger out there in the galaxies 🙂

Thanks Linda, glad the story made you smile.

You pays your money and you takes your chances. Good luck to them; hope they have a fine time. Creative story!
December 6, 2019 at 8:27 pm
Thank you. Something about the crowded bus set me thinking….
December 6, 2019 at 8:52 pm
You’re welcome. It is a very thought-provoking picture. Some great stories this week!
December 4, 2019 at 6:54 pm
Sounds like a great night out!

Mine’s a pan-galactic garrgleblaster please
December 6, 2019 at 8:36 pm
Coming right up, you want a slice of lemon with that ?
December 4, 2019 at 5:58 pm
An amusing little tale with a great last line! Brilliant
Here’s mine!

Thanks Keith, glad you liked the story.

Very clever.
Persephone is the queen of the underworld, so it takes more than a drink to cause her a problem!
December 6, 2019 at 8:46 pm
I appreciate your comment, sure you’re right about Persephone.
December 4, 2019 at 5:36 pm
Great fun! 🙂
