The Narrow Squeak Show Chapter 8

The final challenge The grand finale ,so to speak The one they have all been waiting for! All week! Massive detonation! Instant gratification! I was all set........ All conditions met My trigger finger ready My hand steady.............. ish............ I didn't hear the resulting boom......... A bright white flash............. I was instantly turned into ash! My body ,reduced to atoms! I didn't object........ To the Manhattan Project! This was going to far........... Blew me away Turned me into a star! Now, I am thinking The most famous stars are dead........ Legends live on....... I shall be immortal instead! This is difficult............ I need time to think.......... The Narrow Squeak Show, has a limited run,you know! Whew! It's gonna take time to collect......... all my particles and ash I really must dash! I will carefully select....... The time and place For, I have far to go........ Amonst the stars To start the second show!
