30 <250-Word Stories in 30 Days (#5/30) : Sugarboy and DeathFish!

Thanks to my friend Sumara for the idea!


I survey the playroom. The tragic sunlight makes a rectangle on the floor. The radiator’s on cuz it’s March. A cloud covers the sun. I look out the window. Yes just as I suspected it is a PURPLE cloud. And that means that Poison Potion has been put in the bottom of the POWER PLANT. It’s going to KILL people! Who did it? I know who did it. DEATH FISH! did it. (DeathFish! is like a bad guy only like a fish with feet and goggles too.) Well that’s okay, because I, Sugarboy, can do what it takes to stop it from happening. I have EVER ENERGY! and my CANDY OF INVISIBILITY! that will make me sneak up on Death Fish! from behind and bop him on the head so he falls down. Then I can turn the power plant into reverse and it sucks the Poison Potion back in. But there’s too much. It builds and builds. Blowie!!! Oh, it’s everywhere, the Poison covering DeathFish! like acid.

“I’m melllllltiiiiing!” he screams.

“Until next time Death Fish!” I say.

That’s how I’ll save the day. I’ll do it right now. I’m going out the door. No you can’t stop me. But maybe I’ll just sit down for a minute first. Maybe I’ll just lie here and figure out the other parts of the PLAN. You have to have a PLAN; a good PLAN! Ow! Phew, I feel SLEEPY!
