The Radish named Twinkle

Radish wakes up one day with a rather strange and unique rash on his chest and wonders where he could get a cure.

Radish is his family name, his first name is Twinkle.

His mom named him this way because she saw a twinkle in his eyes when he was born, she always used to say: this is my twinkle star from heaven.

But the rest of his people called him Radish as they found Twinkle to be embarrassing.

Radish traveled as far as he could and found a man pretending to know a cure.

The man told him: “This is a ghost from the past that wants to eat you to stay alive. Unfortunately the only way to live for you is to carry this ghost till you die. Unless you can find a frozen pond where you can plunge in, then the ghost will disappear. It’s part of paying for our ancestor’s crimes.”

After hearing that, Radish was resolute to find a frozen pond. But in the world Radish lived in there were no frozen ponds. Because of the great wars their ancestors have had. They had burnt everything down with a level of heat that barely made life on earth possible.

What was left of humanity was a bunch of simpletons who had made it a grand quest to keep humanity alive.

And they were doing so, so proudly, so poetically, any of us would die of tears because of the level of their beauty and nobility.

Radish is a chiller amongst them, he takes life rather in a very light way with a cheery mood. He is upbeat in a time where there is really no hope left.

So, not to any one’s surprise he declares one day to his people that he would go on a quest to find the frozen pond. Thus he leaves and begins his great adventure…

At this point the writer is really tired, having channeled so much energy into story. He thinks about quitting and asks himself: “who gives a f***?”.

A cheerful voice says: “You give a f***!”

“Oh yeah there is that as well, nice!” says the writer to himself and he continues the story.

In his great adventure Radish decided to present himself to strangers as Twinkle. Because he knew he had to venture beyond the lands he knew.

He got very quickly to “as far as he could go” and trespassed his own frontiers. Now he was in another land, one he knew nothing about. It was dark there, the unknown, but he decided to keep his spirit which was from the beginning, not just a story to impress people, but really about getting the fucking ghost out of his chest.

So he went in, he sneaked in, like a leopard. Oh you must have seen his scary ass how he was batman in the outlands. Standing there looking like crazy with his underwear above his pants.

But he did brave and even though he couldn’t understand shit from what was going on on those lands he pushed through and went from land to land. Until he got where he wanted, half chilled, almost ripped apart, blood dripping from his body, breath almost entirely lost. He got there the little fucker. He got to the land where the frozen pond was. He went in it like a coke addict. But when he looked at his rash, something he hasn’t done in a very long time he saw his rash had already been long gone. Then he stood there in the frozen pond like what the fuck. He looked around him, poor bastard, at the brink of extinction. He was about to go absolutely nuts. Then he just, you know, what can I say, poor guy froze to death.
