By way of a sign-off, here’s part four:
Derek was loving Ian, his gay horse, but for some reason he couldn’t keep the mood going. His ninja senses were tingling. ‘Susan, Nancy, man-eating sexually predatory slugs – danger!’ He paused, hesitant.
Ian looked back and swooshed his beautiful silky mane.
“Everything okay back there?” he asked. “I don’t smell, do I?”
“It’s not you, toots,” said Derek. “Sorry buddy but there’s something I gotta do.”
“Laters baby,” said Ian. “Good luck!”
Derek dismounted, ran through the stable block and found himself outside a swanky cocktail bar in Cannes.
“That’s funny,” he observed. “I could have sworn I was in Oxfordshire.”
But his ninja senses overloaded his sense of reason. Without wasting an instant, Derek shimmied up the drainpipe, eased his way through a half-open window and jumped in.
“Ha hah,” he cried. “Gotcha, man-eating sexually predatory slugs.”
“Derek,” swooned Susan. “I knew you’d come.”
“I saw how you redecorated the house,” Derek whispered. “It was… impressive.”
For an instant, their eyes locked and love rekindled. This time, both knew it would last a lifetime.
When Derek broke the gaze he realised that one of his legs was missing.
“Man-eating sexually predatory slugs, dude,” said a man-eating sexually predatory slug. “The warning’s in the name. Your leg tastes nice.”
And with that the man-eating sexually predatory slugs devoured Derek.
“Oh no,” Susan shrieked as the slugs moved in on her. “If only I hadn’t broken Derek’s single-pointed ninja concentration, he’d be alive right now. I am truly a foolish orphan artist woman.”
“You’re telling me, sweet-cheeks,” said a man-eating sexually predatory slug. ‘Now come on – give Daddy some sugar.”
As endings go, it has its plus points.
Cheers all.
