2. Accusation


It was a pleasant sunny day. Rainbows filled the sky in an unnatural manner, arcing through the sky and Kit looked at it, an undecipherable expression clear on her face. Something was wrong. The ominous atmosphere weighted the air down, and she just knew, like one does, that he was coming.

The Fish.

Rolling her eyes at the simply deceiving title of her opponent, she slumped against the wall, sliding down until she was sitting, her knees nestling her chin as she wrapped her arms around her legs. Her eyes flickered shut, and small snort escaped her mouth. Kit had fallen asleep.

"Awaken thyself, mere mortal!" A voice thundered over her, and suddenly she scrambled up to stare at the talking rainbow that was clearly facing her, although a distinctive face was not seen.

"What?" she complained in annoyance. "Can't you leave me alone to recover my strength so that I may battle the Fish?"

"I am the Fish." he replied, his voice roaring, deafening the poor girl who stood up with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah - no." She scoffed. "The Fish is far more magnificent than you are."

"How dare you be so impetuous?" The rainbow flashed brightly before fading dismally. "Are you accusing me of … not being the all-powerful God?"

She nodded in confirmation. "Pretty much."

The rainbow dimmed, almost being invisible as sadness exuded from it. "I was always under the impression that I was the supreme master of mass murder."

"You can't do much of that as a rainbow." Kit pointed out warily. "Have you actually hurt anyone?"

The rainbow quivered, exhaling a large cloud of sparkles. "Who is the Fish?"

"A rumoured criminal. He's supposed to have killed the entire population of Africa which doesn't appear to be true because I checked in the other day. So really, he just appears to be an avid liar."

"So he's not actually evil?"

"Not really." she shrugged, laughing. "I'm just here to scope him out. I'd gathered that he would resemble a fish but perhaps he looks more like a rainbow."

"So I am the Fish." The rainbow snorted derisively, brightening up.


"You haven't killed anyone." Kit reminded him patiently. "You're just a liar, and a bad one at that."

"I am amazing." It boomed. "I am the master of all."

Kit rolled her eyes, and with a growl of frustration fell back before closing her eyes again. "I'm going to sleep."

It nudged her, whining with a sense of sudden clarity. "You're scared, aren't you?"

"And how did you come up with that?"

"I - er - you see. It is futile to argue with me. I shall always be victorious." The rainbow started to dissipate following the other rainbows but then with a heavy groan, brought itself back to full glory.

Kit clapped dramatically. "Good job." Mumbling under her breath, she stretched, standing up to witness the significant takeover of the rainbows. "What have you done?"

"You think all those rainbows were just an ornament?" it sneered, the colours within its bright arc dying out to form an ominous black. "Kit, your world is in big trouble. I have amassed all the rainbows to destroy your world."

She blinked at him before turning her head away to look at the sight beneath her. The rainbows were all futilely attempting to bat away a group of children who were laughing at them playfully, and dumping bucket loads of water on them. As each one started to fizzle out, Kit nodded at the rainbow, also now known as the Fish. "They're doing pretty well. Want to see?"


Er. You've only got left-foot-fowl to blame for this. There is a reason why I don't write such things.
Gah, it's ridiculous and it's 601 words because I just decided that it was a miserable piece of work.
I'm not having a very good start to this drabble... I'm going to have to step up my game.

Allons-y!

  1. That was the best story in the whole wide world.
    I just laughed reading the entire time. Really- is *this* why you don't write sappy happy stuff?
    You're just miserable aren't you? And I love you for that, little missus.
    Your attempts at humor is simply subliiiimmmeeee. You're hilarious, so stop being sarcastic, hmm? No- no don't actually. We speak sarcasm.. I don't want you learning anything else.
    This was loony, and I know you can do better than that, little shit :3
    You're a brilliant ass writer, you know that?

  3. Well, it's alright in the funny department, but I feel stupid writing about such things when there is so much more I can write.
    I mean, I enjoyed it but I felt like a bit of a fool because instead of having a proper criminal, there's a rainbow instead.
    I'm not miserable... How am I miserable?!
    'I know you can do better than, little shit.' You're so abusive, but what do you mean by the first part? Better than what? Better than this story or beter than being loony?

    Ahahaha.
