...There’s Fire.


Cowering under the covers

in the gigantic bed was the

poor Smoke Signal, his fear

of failing to get his message

to the intended recipient had

him crying big smoky, sausage-

shaped tears. This went on for

some time, which was enough

for Hot Pink to sneak in and

pounce upon the big puffy

blanket that Smoke had

been hiding away under

because he thought Hot,

his one true love, had

just walked out on

him. Ms. Pink was

such a trickster, he

thought, as he burst

from underneath the

covers all gray (with

a faint rosy tint, thanks

to Pink’s hypnotic aura)

until he hovered near

the ceiling with his

love’s body splayed

proportionately be

neath him. They

kept this distance

for as long as they

could, giggling and

cooing for the entire

duration until, unable

to take it any longer,

Smoke began to sink

like a hungry fog until

he became one—

Hot Smoke Pink

Signal Hot Smoke

Pink Signal—and

thusly they were con

vinced they would

commingle forever.
