Graduation Day
The making of a team, and everyone's favourite: The Nutty Purple One.
Chocolate makes children easy to kidnap. Chutes with whirring blades terrify them into obedience. They love chocolate... until they find out what - who - goes into it. Feet first, usually.
"Your Graduation is also your baptism," the top-hatted psycho told them. "You enter the Goo a child, and emerge a Valued Team Member!"
Child #1 was winched into the air by the ankles, shrieking. The old man capered to see it thrashing like a fish, then splutter on re-surfacing, a delightful shade of orange.
Mr Wonka brandished his cane and whooped,
"GO TEAM!"

Thou Shalt Not Set Fire to a Nunnery
"You're going to have to help me move the body." Julie stood in the doorway to my room, which was a cell really, and she was as close to breathless as I'd ever seen her. She looked dashing in the moonlight, and lit up with the glow of adventure.

Mr. Wonka is funny
Thank you all for your lovely comments. I nearly called this one "The Dying Room". Kicking myself now and wishing I had.
Oooo, this was so dark! I loved it so much!
Dear god! 😂
Well that was terrifying. Great job!
I feel bad for the kids in your stories, great story telling
Oh, that bad Wonka. Lol. Well done.
This is Crazy Wonka!!! I love it. Very cleverly written.
😂😎 Yesssss! Wonka meet Silence of the Lambs. Good one. 😀
What a clever and dark take on Willy Wonka!! Also, I'm fairly certain chocolate makes me easy to kidnap as well, hahaha!! Great piece :)
Haha, delightfully depraved!
You read Zacks micro I see! This is twisted and I love it! I always kind of felt that way about Wonka though...especially the blueberry girl and the laughing..
