Friday Fictioneers – Taking The Town (…A Third Time?!)

(Author’s note: After a week of being sick (hence why no post last week), I am back to give more fictioneers. This is a reprise… or maybe a new season, of “Taking The Town”. The last entry of this was “Taking This Town (Again)” from MANY months ago. So I figured it’d be nice to revisit the idea…)

Taking The Town (… A Third Time?!)

by Miles H. Rost

Professor Ronald Scott did not know what hit him.

One minute he was walking down a side street around the Royal University of Sydney, after finishing the prep for student orientation;

The next, he was bouncing in a sea of co-eds into a very active bar.

His particular ring of people involved 20 or so, led by a vibrant blonde with a Melbournian accent.

“Girls! Devour anything you see!”

With Icehouse’s “Taking The Town” thumping through the bar, the good professor barely made it out of the bar alive. Torn clothing, lipstick kisses, the works.

“They’re back…”, he said, fainting.

Everything You Want

He sat alone, his back to a bush, overhearing some of the young folk.

“I’m really pumped up by his ideas!”
“Yeah, he’s got this new way of doing things that’s really awesome.”
“I like our current one, but this new guy’s got fire.”

The young man looked out at the world, listening as they gushed. As they walked away, he sighed and looked out at the rest of the world.

Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked and saw a mousy brunette staring at him through stylish glasses.

“I still think you’re the best pastor, Pastor Bob.”

He smiled, as she walked away.
