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!
