Thanks to Rochelle and to Fatima for the buzzy photograph for this week’s challenge.
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.

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…

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

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

Very clever.
Persephone is the queen of the underworld, so it takes more than a drink to cause her a problem!
