Today's flash fiction #IfEverythingHadAScifiFantasySpinOff

“I've got a rumbly in my tumbly”
Hannibal Lecter*



My friend CJ is having his birthday party shenanigans today so I wrote the story early today. I hope you enjoy it!



If Everything Had A Fantasy/Sci-Fi Spin-Off


Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this intergalatic port
Aboard this tiny spaceship.

The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers warped out that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.

The wormholes started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The spaceminnow would be lost, the spaceminnow would be lost.

The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert planet
With Xilligan
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his genetically-engineered wife,
The alien movie star
The mad scientist and Mary Ann the Cyborg,
Here on Xilligan's Planet.

So this is the tale of the castaways,
They're here for a long, long time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.

The first mate and the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In the tropic planet nest.

No phone, no lights no teleporters,
Not a single luxury, Like Robinson Crusoe, 
It's primitive as can be.

So join us here each week my friends,
You're sure to get a smile,
From seven stranded castways,
Here on "Xilligan's Planet."

Author Comment: I did enjoy writing this little spin-alteration on the lyrics of Gilligans Island. Huzzah for Fair Use and parody as it lets me make gems like these.
