(Author’s note: So, for the first time in a long time, I missed Fictioneers last week. I was on an Amtrak crossing the Northwest quadrant of the US, to visit family in Minnesota. I am on the way back later this week, so I got time to write this week. I will have more about things coming up, but I figured today would be a good day for writing a fictioneers. Enjoy!)

“Those are the biggest speakers I have ever seen.”
Janelle craned her neck to see the top of the massive sound blasters. Marty just chuckled as he turned knobs.
“These babies should be able to project our band’s sound everywhere.”
Marty smiled as he plugged his guitar into the amp.
“Are you sure you’re not going to go deaf?”
“What? Me? Go deaf? This isn’t “Back To The Future”!”
He lifted his pick, Janelle knowingly jumping behind the couch. He brought it down.
Janelle looked up after the colossal *boom*, seeing Marty fly over her into a table of strawberries.
Wonderful story
Thank you! I like to add a little humor to the hard rock.
Now that’s rock! Great choice of song too – I used to warble along to this back in the day
This is kinda like a song of rebellion and interstate travel, where you drive more than 55 mph.
Oh that first chord! Loved the story and the song.
Flew right into the strawberries. Imagine if it was blackberries, though… XD
Absolutely wonderful.
Thank you kindly! 🙂
Ha ha ha, loved the ending.
Thank you kindly!
Ah, the sublime self-confidence of youth! Marty will be back – smelling of strawberries! He should have known better than to turn the amplifier up to 11!
It also seemed to send the clocks into a weird spin…
This is too funny. Love the music, too.
Thank you! This is what Music and Fiction is all about!
After hitting the strawberries, he slid into the chocolate fountain… and then, well, it got really bad… Loved it! Totally hilarious! And, gee whiz but I needed to laugh today!
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Marty. Sounds like a weird recipe. Well done on the comment!
Great word picture. And I love Jelli’s added feature 🙂
I did too! XD
Fun story and a great song. Rock on.
That’s what Music and Fiction is all about! ^_^
LOL! Great one.
