Torgo Packs for Vacation
A Short Story
By: Robb Anthony
Torgo awoke with a throbbing headache, and realizing that he'd slept through his alarm sat up too quickly.
" Owowowowowow!" he screamed "What on earth happened yesterday?"
As hard as Torgo scratched his head he couldn't quite figured out what had happened the night before. So he just thought he might have had too much licorice to eat. With little time to spare he began rushing around grabbing all of his things he'd need for his trip to sunny Florida. He grabbed his hat, sandals, swim suit, a parasol and some super duper strength sun-screen.
Torgo began loading his buggy. First he placed in his bag, which contained his suit, sandals and sunblock. Then he placed in his parasol. He realized that he had forgotten his hat. So Torgo went back inside and grabbed it. When he got back to put it in the car he saw that he forgot his parasol.
"Now this couldn't be" he thought to himself
So he trudged back inside and sure enough there it was hanging by the door. He thought nothing of it and continued out to his car where he noticed his hat was gone.
"Well I am certain I brought that!" he shouted out loud "Someone must be playing tricks on me."
So he stormed back in a fit. Just to have the hat drop neatly on his head.
He rushed around to his window to see if he could catch the perp. Sure enough it was the Troublemaker. Torgo lept through the window to confront the Troublemaker. To make him apologize for making Torgo feel silly.
Well Torgo sure was letting the Troublemaker have it when all of a sudden The sun went out... Well not really. Because when Torgo looked up it was a giant. The giant named Birch-Bob, He was the size of a tree and about as smart as one too.
"You not be mean to Troublemaker. He make Birchy laugh." Birch-Bob demanded while laughing as the Troublemaker danced and mocked Torgo in the background.
"Well you know what!?" Torgo exclaimed
"Im gunna knock you back to this morning!" Birch-Bob announced as he delivered a bop to Torgos head.
