Yep, we've got a new name. It's probably very temporary, but I thought we might have a bit of change. (To random person) Arr, walk the plank!

To celebrate, here is a special little Short Story I (and LarryBoy) whipped up this morning:

----

He was strangling. Choking. Dying.

Kopaka didn't know what word to use. When you're on your knees in the snow, hands clasped to your neck-axle, while you struggle to draw a bit of breath, it doesn't matter what you call it.

He fell over sideways in the snow, wheezing. This was it. He was--

Suddenly, a purple-and-yellow cucumber appeared over the edge of a nearby snowbank. "A Bionicle guy needs a hero!" he announced. "I! Am! That! Hero!"

He sprang down and started jumping up and down on the Toa guy. The Toa started breathing again, and the day was saved. Then LarryBoy swung away, happy to have once again saved the day.

"LarryBoy!" Turakii groaned from his place on the floor. "Move over and let me finish my story!"

"In a minute!" LarryBoy said, hopping as fast as he could from key to key. "Almost...done..."

The End

That, my friends, is what happens when you let a cucumber drink coffee in the morning. (And before I get a million comments asking why I'm "he," let me remind you that while I'm a girl, my character, Turakii, is a boy. Yes, I know it's confusing. )

Turakii

Are you in the big fish? Are you sitting in the belly of a world gone mad?
