Tshahi Mombrun<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The mall was filled with centipedes<\/span><\/p>\n

large enough to live in water bottles<\/span><\/p>\n

and clear as ice.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A zebra frolicked\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

through the constellations littered on the pavement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her name was Viola because\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

she had a way with music.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She dodged the metal motor-vehicles<\/span><\/p>\n

and found the fountain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making every splash sound<\/span><\/p>\n

like the strumming of strings,<\/span><\/p>\n

she pranced like a clown.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The centipedes slithered around<\/span><\/p>\n

listening for Viola,<\/span><\/p>\n

but she didn\u2019t want to be found.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ceilings made of glass<\/span><\/p>\n

shimmered in ecstasy<\/span><\/p>\n

while Viola looked for the elevator.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the way<\/span><\/p>\n

she met my father,<\/span><\/p>\n

an international superspy<\/span><\/p>\n

trained to have the best eye<\/span><\/p>\n

and find the vigilante.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t know<\/span><\/p>\n

The vigilante was me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried to escape this evil man<\/span><\/p>\n

but I lost my eyes cream<\/span><\/p>\n

in the grape-shaped\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

gumball machine.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I am stranded<\/span><\/p>\n

working for the FBI:<\/span><\/p>\n

Fancy<\/span><\/p>\n

Babies<\/span><\/p>\n

Incorporated,<\/span><\/p>\n

for short.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
