One more time - Scorpio Escapes - a story fragment featuring
Reposting this in main gallery even though it is a fragment, because I know people don't always pay attention to scraps.
Still would like some feedback on this one and this one as well:

An absurdity piece loosely inspired by the work of "David Wong", author of "John Dies at the End". Nothing remotely like this happens in that story, but let's just say an ice cream truck piloted by an eyeless zombie bear from the moon would not have been out of place in that story.
I have been thinking that perhaps Scorpio, the pirate super-pimp wizard gangster-kingpin, should never appear "onscreen", but always be seen through agents like the bear or heard about second-hand. What do you think, folks?
Also, there is some debate as to whether "pirate super-pimp" refers to a super-pimp who is ALSO a pirate, or instead, a super-pimp who acts in a pirate fashion, hijacking the resources of other super-pimps (in the same way a pirate radio station hijacks airwaves) in order to further his own ends. Personally, I like the second one better, as it leads to the reader imagining a more absurd situation.
A further commentary on this: the City with No Name is one of the few static locations in what, for lack of a better term, I call BC-land. It is a city that rings the rest of the macroverse, bordering both the set of all real worlds and the Desert of Truth. Because it's a borderland of sorts, it gets a lot of strange characters running around. For those who care, it is currently experiencing an extended (read several years so far and counting) period of darkness, thanks to this fellow:

Citizens doubted his power when he first showed up riding a giant iceberg (long story), so he used that doohickey on his right arm to turn the sky black. That shut a lot of people up.
