Mango scratched his head.

He found himself in the middle of something so big and pregnant with possibilities. But all he saw were clouds that never ended. Was it just a massive amount of fog, flowing down the way of the river canyon? Damn it felt lonely.

But the woman's voice....

1. SO the scratching produced something he'd never seen before.

Lice!

But being Mango, world citizen extraordinaire, for Pete's sake, he realized that this lice was not only itchy and unusually active, but also glowing in the dark!

2. Been so long

I thought the lice would be dead by now

3. Ahhh, but our hero

has been in let's say, a stand by mode, possibly meditating his ass off, ahem, but nonetheless, throughout the itching and the fog, he still heard a woman's voice... so

4. It was Elma

his old car mechanic
and she said to him, "Why didn't you use a screwdriver instead?"
Mango: "A screwdriver, what for?"
Elma: "If you twist it counter-clockwise in your belly button, your ass will fall off."

5. Well, Hot Diggity Dawggg!

Just as Mango took a breath to let out a large Chewbacca-ean chuckle, one of the biggest and brightest glow in the dark lice, let's call him LOUIE, decided to jump on a nearby rock and dance a jig.

Elma whipped out her spectacle which was hidden under her dog-eared copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

6. (Why is EVERYTHING glow in the dark?)

Peculiar, he said to himself.

page 72 was dog-eared
"hmmmm" thought Mango

On that page was highlighted the sentence, "He who drives fast drives last"

He wondered what that meant...

7. Would you like me to loan you this book?

Mango looked guilty, as if he'd just been caught with his hand in a Rupi jar.

But just then he was so compelled to SCRATCH!

And scratch he did, like a crazy 'ol hounddog, the kind he'd seen in old movies like Ma and Pa Kettle, or The Beverly Hillbillies..ya'll come back now, hear?

And after he'd had his fill of scratching, with his hair quite a mess now, he realized that:
1. He was no longer itchy.
2. All the lice were together OFF his head.
3. They'd formed a circle around a maypole made of other louses, and were dancing wildly.

LOUIE! LOUIE!

[Ricochet21]

8. I think

I'm gonna need some help with this one

[kimmerspixelated]

9. Yeah, re-reading

I'm inclined to agree! (What can I say, I'm weirrrrd)

[Ricochet21]

10. R.I.P. Mango

[kimmerspixelated]

11. I'm apalled!

The only way I'll let you get away with killing my beloved character(especially over lice) is if you replace him with another character/story. KKrumba!
