Here’s my attempt at this weeks Monday’s Finish the Story
Finish the story begins with: “A body suddenly crashed through a plate glass window at the Brigadier’s house.”
“Argghh not again! They said they’d fixed that stupid thing.” The Brigadier wiped egg yolk from his beard as he went to inspect the latest inconvenience.
“Jenkins! Get those inconsiderate Reticulans on the holophone right now. I’ve had enough of this nonsense.”
It was a wortbort this time, mostly eaten of course. They only seemed to throw away the messy parts. This one was missing the half of its body, and was busy leaking all over the Brigadier’s clean white tiles. “And bring a mop”.
Due to an unfortunate set of events involving a quantum physicist and an architect, the Brigadier’s home was built above a wormhole which led to the garbage chute of a family living in the Orion Nebula. He’d shoved a few broomsticks up there, but they just seemed to enjoy eating those too. There was only one thing left to do. Send Jenkins up.

Poor Jenkins! They’re going to eat him. He can’t send Jenkins up! Great story and I loved your take on the prompt. Sci Fi!

That’s an unfortunate proximity to the wormhole! I hope Jenkin’s manages to sort the problem out without being eaten. Great story. 🙂

A fun story, Az, with some excellent imagery – like the mostly-eaten wortbort leaking all over the floor. It must be tricky living over a wormhole connected to a garbage chute – especially one that came from a family with strange eating habits in the Orion Nebula. 🙂

For some reason, this reminded me of having cats that drag in half eaten mice. I’d like to know what Jenkins is, though. For some reason, I read the name as an acronym for something the Reticulans are not going to enjoy!
Anyway, thanks for the microread.

Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂 and now that you ask- I think Jenkins would have to be a mild mannered but badass beneath the surface butler who is the ultimate Mr. Fixit :p

Is Jenkins human, I wonder? Loved the wormhole angle 😀

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I think Jenkins is secretly a superhuman- mild mannered butler by day, but get on the wrong side of him, and then youre in Trouble 🙂
