A bedtime story for you
Written by me, illustrated badly, read aloud with all the voices.
Prologue
Once upon a time, in a city with terrible traffic, two people missed the same bus. One of them said something about the weather. The other laughed far too hard at it. The next bus took forty minutes, and by the time it came, neither of them wanted to get on.
~ as told by me, with all the voices
Chapter one
Pondicherry. One sunburn, shared.
Chapter two
Your mum. Won over with samosas.
The last chapter
(Three to six: mostly naps. You choose the ending.)
Chapter I
One table, one slice of chocolate cake, two forks. The waiter took one look at us and left very quickly. What happens next?
Chapter
They split it exactly in half. Then one of them ate the other half too. Nobody was surprised. Outside, the dragon was waiting.
Chapter
Fork against fork. Crumbs everywhere. The dragon walked in, sighed, and asked who was paying.
The end
The dragon pulled up a chair, ate the last bite and said she'd always known, you. The end. (Not really.)
The end
They ran out into the rain, caught the wrong bus on purpose and rode it to the last stop, you. The end. (Not really.)
