The One Thing

Miles H. Rost
Becky “Spins” Hoffman was going for maximum effect.
The captain of the women’s baseball team at the local uni, her arm was well known as a lethal weapon.
What people didn’t know is that when challenged, her pranks were the other weapon she would use.
Using a little chemistry knowhow, she prepared the eggs sitting in the carton to the right specifications for this night. As her teammate sped, Becky fired egg after egg. Red, white, and blue splatters showed themselves.
They contrasted the red of the fluttering Soviet flag, and the face of the angry professor who owned it.
Music and Fiction 
Becky sounds like one of those tough, cool chicks. I can hear the INXS song on the radio as she’s hurling them.
Becky is based on a good friend of mine from H.S. who did something similar to a teacher who gave her a lower grade. He didn’t like that she was a baseball player. He took a sabbatical the next year.
Interesting.
Now, fireworks spelling out “America, love it or leave it” would have been quite a thing
I didn’t want to go that far. She wasn’t one of those folk, but when she gets her dander up, she gets feisty.
Silly me, had to reread your great story because the first time I read it I thought it said basketball, so at the end I’m thinking “eggs all over the court?” Lol.
That would be a very interesting take. XD
Ha! I think I want Becky for a neighbor.
You and me both.
