Mood: Triumphalist
Listening to: Simba sings the Blues
The Baron stirred, Fishcake had left him alone to die. He swore to himself that this mistake would be Allen's last.
The knife wound was not deep, he looked down at his t-shirt, it was soaked through and bright-red. Global Hypercolour t-shirts were so nineties, but he liked them, despite what the leader said.

Fishcake awoke and looked around his dimly lit bedsit. It was all he could afford in this affluent area of Rotheram.
His skull was in peircing pain, like a bullet ricocheting around an empty concrete multi-storey car park in Preston. He pulled back his He-Man duvet and rolled out of bed, stubbing his toe on a discarded ice cream tub. "I really overdid it last night", he thought.
Opening the fridge Alern had to shield his eyes from the glowing white light. He had no interest in the outside world or current affairs. It had been so cruel to him over the years. This penthouse apartment was now his world, the fridge was simply where he came to ingest the mornings events. He picked up a cabbage which seemed to read "Doherty; My Sunny-D Hell". What the cucumber was alleging about Abi Titmus was surely libellous.
A phone rang.
Fishcake walked over to the novelty Alan Hansen telephone he had purchased from a street urchin. He picked up the receiver.
"Hello? Who's this?" said Fishcake
"You know damn well who it is Fishcake" boomed his informant.
Fishcake was not sure of the identity of his snout, but when shit was going down in Donny, Albert always received an anonymous tip-off.
"I'm retired" he barked.
"I think even you would come out of retirement for this one, get down to Mr Wong's All U Can Eat Chinese Food Emporium est. 1987, now."
With that the line went dead. Alan Hansen's eyes, which were glowing red during the call, faded to their normal orange.
