Not Quite Over the Rainbow

One day, Dorothy finally got sick of singing and dreaming. She sold her little dog to the local savages and used the money to charter a jet that would take her over the rainbow. It was a wonderful flight, the most magical time of her life. But the pilot misjudged their altitude and before he could alter their course, they crashed into the rainbow. The rainbow shattered, sending pieces crashing to the ground below. Thousands of people gazed up in awe at the spectacle, only to be impaled by shards of pure color. The world reverted to black and white.1

Down in Happytown, Mr. Smiles looked at his arm. It was lying on the ground. Living in a town that had no concept of violence, he was unable to comprehend why it should suddenly be disconnected from his body. Anyone else could have clearly seen that a jagged piece of the color red had just severed it. In Mr. Smiles' defense, however, anyone else would have bled to death shortly after making this observation. Mr. Smiles didn't know how to bleed.2

Mr. Smiles picked up the fragment of color. Although he was a dimwit (dimmer than most wits, as a matter of fact), he did notice that the rainbow was gone (he loved rainbows, like everyone else in Happytown) and that color was gone (he loved colors, they made his crayons work), so he put two and two together and got twoowt. Twoowt was fun to say. Twoowt. Twoowt twoowt. It was so fun that he completely forgot about the problem at hand until an enraged leprechaun tackled him and beat the twoowt out of him.3

The leprechaun was systematically beating everyone in Happytown to find out what happened to the rainbow. So far he'd only learned that Happytowners were just a step up from retarded on the escalator of intelligence. And it was a down escalator. He gave up abusing Mr. Smiles (who was still smiling) and sat down miserably. He explained that he couldn't find his gold without the rainbow to guide him. Mr. Smiles tried to give him a hug, but he only had one arm. The leprechaun got excited when he noticed the piece of color that Mr. Smiles was holding. He snatched it away and stuck it in his mouth. Sure enough, it tasted like Skittles.4

The two left Happytown to find the rest of the rainbow. Without all the colors to preoccupy him, Mr. Smiles began to notice that the world wasn't such a happy place after all. In fact, some of the people they were pulling shards out of (those that weren't dead) seemed downright unhappy. Then it occurred to him that frowns were rainbow-shaped and probably worked like rainbow mating calls, and he felt better. He wondered what it was like to mate with a rainbow. It was probably colorful. And maybe they could say "twoowt" together. Twoowt. Twoo--the leprechaun donkey-punched him. He was trying to figure out how to buy green clothes in a black and white world, and all the twoowting was distracting him.5

Eventually they came upon the wreckage of Dorothy's jet. Dorothy had returned to Oz (in a very permanent sense) and Auntie Em was quite pleased to be collecting the life insurance in addition to her Social Security checks. Unfortunately, she got greedy and tried to burn the farm for the fire insurance, but, old as she was, she wasn't quick enough to escape the flames. The remains of the jet had also been on fire, and a large portion of rainbow had melted into a tie-dye puddle. Children had been playing in it up until it had cooled and hardened (this was evidenced by the children who were still there, frozen beneath the surface or struggling in vain to extricate their trapped limbs). The leprechaun used his magic to shrink it (children and all) so that it fit in their color bag, and they continued on.6

Soon, they came upon an evil place where the government had stolen all of the fallen colors and harnessed their power to create evil things like "Medicare" and "mounties". They used maple syrup to brainwash the populace (because who doesn't like pancakes for breakfast?) and fed the dissenters to the mooses (with maple syrup, because what moose doesn't like dissenters for breakfast?). This evil, evil place called itself Canada. 7

The Canadian border wasn't easy to cross. They had to sneak past the heavily-armed zamboni patrols, dig under the Electricolor fence, and defeat Keanu Reeves in hand-to-hand combat (that part actually was easy, he's just an actor). Once they were in, they only had to say "eh" and "aboot" a lot to pass as Canadians. Mr. Smiles enjoyed this immensely and began to construct all of his sentences with just the two words. "Eh aboot aboot, eh? Aboot eh!" A mountie grew suspicious and arrested them for Gross Stereotypification in the First Degree.8

They were brought before the Queen of Canada (not Keanu Reeves), who confiscated their colors to increase the Canadian energy output. Mr. Smiles and the leprechaun tried to explain that they were saving the rainbow and restoring color to the world, but it turned out the Queen had sold her color to the devil back in the '80s (the soul market dried up years ago) and didn't give a Canadian fig what happened to everyone else's. She would only give up the color collection if they found her a better source of energy that didn't require her to pay the electricity bill.9

Mr. Smiles suggested small animals running in wheels. He didn't understand anything about energy, but he loved little animals. They were so cute, especially when they ran in the wheels and thought they were going somewhere. He wondered where they thought they were going. He pictured himself running in a wheel and wondered where he would go in it. Maybe he would run his wheel to Scranton, or Omaha, or Candyland, or...10

While Mr. Smiles was lost in thought (and doing something that looked a lot like running in place), the leprechaun told the Queen about Happytown and all the happy people there. He offered to sell them to her so that she could use their perpetual happiness to power her country. The Queen liked this idea (she hated happiness) and sent a zamboni-rider invasion force to capture Happytown. There was no resistance (the Happytowners actually helped them), but the Canadians killed a few anyway. They enslaved the Happytowners and turned the town into a power plant that began to pump all of the happiness to Canada, where it powered such essentials as electric toothbrushes and Avril Lavigne's voice synthesizer. 11

The Queen gave back the rainbow pieces. They had all of them now, so the leprechaun used his magic to piece them back together and return them to the sky. Color came back to the world suddenly, so suddenly that it gave everyone eye cancer. Mr. Smiles returned to Happytown, where he discovered that all the happiness was gone, taken by the greedy Canadians. He noticed that his smile was becoming rainbow-shaped.
He noticed that the stump of his arm had finally wised up and was gushing blood everywhere.
He noticed the colors disappearing again as everything went black.
He didn't notice anything after that.12

As for the leprechaun, he followed the rainbow and found his gold and used the money from the Queen to buy a GPS system and lived happily ever after.
The End.

Author notes

Was breaking the rainbow an antigay metaphor? I don't know. Maybe it was an antiSkittles metaphor.

    lol, I enjoyed the logically placed randomness that advanced the story, and there was a lot of hidden satire oozing out of the words for one with a keen eye.

    Being Canadian, I enjoyed the stereotypes (a lot of us do say 'eh'... but not aboot)

    Although we do have a 'Queen of Canada', being as we still have our monarchy roots (like Australia), she doesn't have any bearing here whatsoever. Basically, there is a position in government called the Governor General, and that person exercises the Queen's power, but it is a fairly minimal role in government. Just like the USA, we have an election (for a prime minister, not president). So technically Queen of Canada is correct in this story, and if you just wanted to be random, then it's fine and funny, but really, the elected party and prime minister control the country for those who don't know

    Reading this story again, it made me think.

    I hope I'm not gonna be too critical here, but this story is not at all funny.

    It is easy to write this kind of random, all you need is imagination. Random does not mean funny unless it is done well.

    Example: 'There was a small boy named Joe, but he was not born like regular children, he was created by the chemical fusion of grapefruit juice and a dead pigeon. One day he decided to visit the Queen of Potato land, but she was not home, so he decided to eat his own toes instead.'

    Writing in this totally first-thing-to-mind style is extremely easy and is generally not particularly amusing.

    I feel that this story would benefit from some re-reading and major editing. Just because it's random, doesn't mean you can't take out the parts that didn't come out funny.

    I still think you have a good imagination, but at the moment this story definitely falls into the 'lack of effort' category.

    I hope this comment doesn't sound too harsh, because I think you have talent.

      I hope I'm not too critical of this critique, but having read some of your stories before, I don't think you know what you're talking about.

      I'm rather surprised that you would disparage imagination. I mean, seeing as it's the foundation of all writing (fiction anyway). I know it's not the only talent a writer needs, but it's certainly an important one. I don't consider my stories "random stories," although random things may happen in them. But everything happens for a reason, and it all leads to a conclusion.

      Your example is a poor comparison. Joe is not a character. You don't describe him at all. He has no reason for the things he does. Mr. Smiles and the Leprechaun both have motives (one to save the rainbow, the other to find his gold) and by the end, they accomplish them. There is no Queen of Potato land, but there is a Queen of Canada, look it up (I did, I do research when I write).

      I realize that was only an example, so allow me to compare one of your actual stories to one of mine. Your "The Curse of the Onion" is very similar to the format of my "The Pineapple." A series of characters challenges a supernatural plant and dies. The problem with yours, again, is that your characters aren't characters, just names. The closest you come is the old woman (who's there why?). I describe each of my characters and why they are where they are before I kill them, and I kill them a different way each time. The Onion's ending seems like you just couldn't think of anything related to the story "He went off in search of fortune and fame...then died". I tie up the story at the end, and make fun of Al Gore too (something I do whenever possible).

      I'm afraid that your "far superior style and execution" are merely a conceit, because I fail to see anything "far superior" in your stories or accurate in your critique.

      I hope I didn't offend you, I tend to be blunt. I don't expect everyone to find my stories equally entertaining, but I expect a good critique to have more merit.

        I suppose maybe I didn't put my points across in the way I intended, because I'm not saying you're a bad writer.

        My example was just to show that randomness doesn't have to equal funny, but it wasn't particularly well-linked to your story I agree.

        In my short stories most things happen for no reason, but I think through everything that I include in the story. I read every line over and over to make sure it fits in as well as it can. If it doesn't work, I change it. My short stories are very unusual in their style, and I've found that only 50% of people really get the humour. They are deeper than you're giving them credit for, but I agree it is difficult to spot.

        While your story has a decently thought out plot and characters, I feel that certain lines aren't needed. It's like you want a random nonsensical story, but you also want it to make sense and be coordinated, and I'm not sure the two can ever truly work together.

        Sorry if I seemed too critical in my first rant, because I'm not calling you a bad writer at all, I just feel that the style of this story could be changed, and certain parts edited, to make it funnier.

No offense to your imagination but did you get this wacky idea from oh I don't know say your friend if he was on crack? Just saying cause that sounds like something that a delusional person would say. That is just how funny it is. You should submit that to a magazine or something along those lines.

    ""Eh aboot aboot, eh? Aboot eh!" A mountie grew suspicious and arrested them for Gross Stereotypification in the First Degree."

    "They were so cute, especially when they ran in the wheels and thought they were going somewhere."

    "Color came back to the world suddenly, so suddenly that it gave everyone eye cancer."

    Okay, those are just a few things that made me almost piss myself laughing. You are insane. I know a lot of people have said it, but I just need to make sure you know it. InsaneInsaneInsane.

    But hey, I guess that means we go well together.

    Surprised

    Why did I think somewhere in the story an iguana would show up? This means you are a very diverse and flexible writer. Now we have leprechauns.

    Your sense of humor is unique. This is probably a good thing, for you, and for us, as you write unique stories.

    The only way I can describe your stories is like driving past an accident on the highway. You don't want to look, probably shouldn't, but you just can't stop yourself.

    when I see a "Brent" story I just have to read it. Don't know where that will take you, but I'd say that is a very good effect to have on folks.

    Great Story.



    Great Story,

      Leprechauns are merely iguanas with beards. And a higher survival rate (in my stories anyway). You should go over your comment to pick up the minor errors, such as where you say "minior errors". Sorry, couldn't resist

    Twoot. Twoot. Hehe... I love that word now.
    I think this is my favorite story you've written. I feel bad for Mr. Smiles. There was no reason to kill him. :|

    *is not canada but forgives Brent anyway*

    A tribute to smileys!!! And RAINBOWS, woot!

    when inspiration strikes, it REALLY strikes you, I BET!!! I was laughing out loud every paragraph!!! I think this IS my favorite work of yours, or maybe I am just biased *hides secret* You put in twoowt! Hmm.. wonder where you got that..

    Oh yeah, in my old website (not MY website per se, just the one I used to visit a lot), people imagined me as some sort of leprechaun - so yes, get out of my mind

    Omg, you even put Keanu here (easy to beat him since he's an actor, LMAO). I love the one arm hug, Queen of Canada (not Keanu Reeves) . You put Keanu and mentioned him twice - I shall love you for the rest of my short shampoo days! (which will last for a week, but that is still kewl!) I can't even think of my favorite part!!!

    Thank you so much for this!
    P.S.Wah, you should have finished this yesterday >_> a lot of people had bad days and all and COULD have used this! But still, great gift. Now go share your laughs with everyone!!!
