Marty's Bad Day Part II: The Funeral
This is just a
short quick story.
I told some of my ideas for Marty's
continuing bad day (frankly I think she deserves a hell of a lot
more than just another day after the pain she has inflicted on
all of us!) and they said I should continue it.
I will warn
you though for those that do not know me, my mind is a dark and
dangerous place and I used it a great deal while coming up with
"mishap's" for Marty! LMAO
This is dedicated to all my Jolie bud's!! I could never
have made it through this mess without you!!
And to all the
Jolie fans!!! You deserve this and a medal!!
Following Marty's Death By Chicken Bone (not as enjoyable as
Death By Chocolate! LOL) I felt we all needed to pay our
respects to her so here it is.
Respect...Hmmmmmm and
if you believe that I've a got a bridge to sell you! LMBO
So
let the fun begin and I hope it makes you laugh or at the least
smile.
I did both while writing it!
Chapter 1
So Marty Saybrooke was dead.
The town grieved and
flags were lowered to half mast as the residence of Llanview
remembered a great amazing woman.
Uhhhhhhh... NOT!
In fact it seemed amazingly that life went on.
And
quite well in fact.
But Marty was still having a bad day.
First off the doctors and nurses, after discovering Marty
had died (from choking on a chicken bone!) they left her lying
there with the chicken bone visibly stuck in her throat.
The
local funeral home was called and were requested to come and
pick her up.
After a couple of hours, the mortician did have
to finish his dinner after all, he arrived to transport her to
their facility.
She was loaded with a flip and a flop onto
the gurney to be taken away by the funeral director, Hubert.
On the way out of the hospital Hubert chatted with those
that he met and knew, and even a few he didn't.
He had just
pushed the gurney into the hospital elevator when he said to a
passing couple:
"I wouldn't have the chicken if I were
you, unless you want to end up like the shrink here. A real
shame too cause usually its pretty good, not dry and tasteless.
Huh, would never have guessed it would end up killing
someone."
The poor couple looked at him then the sheet
draped body as the elevator doors closed with Hubert still
standing in the hallway.
"Oh crap." Sigh. "Well, I'll catch her on her
way back down, she has to come down sometime right?"
Hubert
looked at the couple as they quickly turned and made tracks in
the opposite direction.
The elevator went all the way to the roof and just as the doors opened a sudden and extremely strong gust of wind sucked Marty and her gurney out of the elevator. As the gurney rolled along towards the edge of the roof it began to pick up speed until it was almost flying along.
And then suddenly it was!
Flying that is! Over the railing and off the roof!!!
People outside the hospital entrance looked up and watched in curiosity as something came careening down.
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
Oh crap!!! Is it a chicken?!!!
As Marty and her runaway gurney made their way back to earth
there seemed to be only one couple who did not see what was
headed in their direction.
And by the time they did it was
too late.
Marty and her bed of speed had touched down and
flattened the unsuspecting man and woman.
It was later
discovered that their names were Frank and Dena. Hmmmmmm,
maybe they had bad karma?
As the crash was heard inside the hospital and staff ran
to witness the aftermath, Hubert made his way out and could be
heard saying,
"See I told you. What goes up always comes
down. Not always as dramatically but it does come down."
Sigh
After picking up the pieces of said gurney
and Marty too, he load all into the back of his van and was
about to make his way to the funeral home, thankful that his job
for the night was done and he could go home and watch that
documentary on field mice and their life cycle, but fate had
another idea.
Just as Hubert started the van a sudden and
loud backfire was heard and the engine died.
Sigh, it really just wasn't his day!
After calling
the local towing company and arranging for a truck to come,
Hubert stood by the van waiting.
"You know Dr. Saybrooke if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all."
Sigh.
"You just don't know what it's like to always have bad things happen to you."
After a 30 minute wait the tow truck arrived, hooked up to the van and towed it and Marty off to the funeral home.
