I can’t believe I’m actually going to do this, I thought, as I wrote Stroppy and the Astronaut, part II for this writing challenge from Esther Newton. The sentence (in red) has to be included somewhere in the story:
Click here for my first “Stroppy Story” which might, or might not, help you understand this one.
Stroppy eyed her lonely astronaut tethered next to her in space I can’t believe I’m actually going to do this, she thought. Now that we’ve nuzzled it’s time. She bit cleanly through his safety tether and taking his gloved hand in hers pointed the jet thruster toward home. With a twinkle in her eye and terror in his, they zoomed off into the vacuum of space to meet Mom and Dad.
Bob Blobfish: “. . . I can’t believe she actually wrote this, he thought. . . “
Do I see a theme developing here? If so, keep it coming.

Keith,
I never know what will develop!!! That’s why the central theme of this blog is “curious” (in all it’s permutations). However, I am developing a fondness for Stroppy.

Does Unkie have a space suit he can borrow?

I’d love to say yes, but Albert doesn’t have one. There’s no reason why Jarvis shouldn’t manifest one, though, is there?
Not that one would be needed for travel inside Jarvis, although you have now sown a seed…

Keith,
Albert could borrow one? Traveling inside Jarvis . . . hmmmmm . . . reminds me of the new camera capsules you swallow so doctors can get a gander without cutting your up.

You have got to be kidding. How does your brain come up with this stuff? Yikes!

Whew, read your blog fast and my brain suggested that the Blob Fish was Stroppy’s Mom and Dad…alien indeed!
Could incorporate a classic rock song theme in a future chapter with “Hang on Stroppy” (would have to pronounce Stroppy to rhyme with ‘poopee’).

Rick,
Bob Blobfish, although not directly related to Stroppy, knows her parents quite well. He is a gets around the universe and is known as a fish-about-town.

Shari B-P,
Although Bob the Blobfish does appreciate your acknowledgement that he made your day he is rather taken aback at how you labeled him. He wants you to know he is a fine specimen and considered quite handsome among other Blobfish.
