BANANAS

by
Micky McKeon

    Jen Lee drives Micky Totally bananas!  Every day, from the grocery store, she would deliver a bunch of bananas, and nothing else.  Totally is Micky's favorite brand of bananas, and Jen is the lass that brings them to him, always with a smile, and always with a wink right before she leaves.  One day Jen got to thinking- Micky is an attractive, physically flawless specimen of a man... why is it that he won't leave his own house to get his own Totally bananas.  And then it hit her, like a bolt of lightning!  Well, not like a bolt of lightning per se... but an actual bolt of lightning hit her.  The lightning came from Orion, the most visible of the constellations, whom most humans didn't know possessed the power of lightning.  But he does.  And he struck her with great vengeance!  After that, Jen never questioned why Micky never left his domain of bananas, she never questioned why Orion the constellation was watching out for this Micky creature, and she never questioned why Micky, seemingly a constellation-turned-human, had such a liking for bananas and nothing else.  But she did question why Orion kept striking her with lightning, over and over, until she was dead.  It just didn't make any sense...
