had to get myself a quite space and time to sit and eat this one line by line because its like rubber band ball cut open and ripping itself apart from the inside - fuck knows what its about but I'm in some sort of space ship or alien belly SWAT team taking out the invaders one giant at a time.... or something - Really enjoyed this! like - the images, the speed, the rolling madness of it - I love these brain dumps - just grinning ear to ear and going in for another read. TOP MARKS MY GOOD MAN!

We don't have TANG here - we used to have a thing called TING though - was a sort of would be Jamaican pineapple and grapefruit fizzy drink thing. I think - seems like you rubbed a nerve with it HAHA!

Sonds like the same thing. Ours was a nebulous "orange" drink. I think it's really funny everyone has reacted to the Tang line, getting a real kick out of that!

This was good loved it! The visualizations was great. Loved reading it. I could definitely see it like a film. It almost made me think of Tang which I haven't thought about in years...maybe a decade.

Thank you, I am glad you did! Oh yeah, I'm kind of mad because now Tang is on my mind and I have no idea where/how to get it :P

I think I'm hooked to this sort of exercise now...

Degloved.

Love that word, love the imagery, love the whole gruesome, slimy slick story you created. I feel like I’ve been coated in something unspeakable.

Edited - ‘costed’ should have been ‘coated’ 😬
