An Intergalactic Vacation For Quoth

Sequel to Intergalactic Breakdown by : Quoth Raven Star collector probe on the march inside a residuary marsh, a signage in big blue neon letters blare " Stuckey's Place" time to have a snack. I unwrap the cellophane "Elmer's paste pies" I think that the foreign speaking Alien in the air stream is none else then my friend Quoth, interstelling with foreign intelligence of the fourth order... I take a bite of the pastry, its to boot. I can tell from the grin on his face that although he's travelled gojillion miles to run away from earth, he is happy to be here, using his baking skills on a waterlogged planet of choice ! A non-binary service robot winks at me and offers me a palette full of little brown shroomy things that once were, you got it , fungi mushrooms from earth ; "Frazusoosh" says a tetronic voice that reminds me of my computer when its burping out a virus; I try and call for help but my cel goes AWOL. I hear DING DONG BLEEP "Drack's balls! I'm stuck here for all eternity" I say to Quoth. He shrugs, "There are worse places to be ! This Puny planet has obnoxious fumes that corrode my chromium tail, but its not so bad. Here I can bake magic fractal mushrooms and all" "Oh for the love of God Quoth, your human, get it, HUMAN !" tHE eND.

Very nice mushrooms at your Stuckey's. You know space is so big it's very important to have a good friend. If only to provide necessary replacement parts. Enjoy your day Mystic Rose. “The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.” - Carl Sagan, Contact
