Chapter 1
One day, Anger Man and his side sick Obvious Boy were patrolling
the Queensland Art Gallery, looking out for possible out bursts
of anger. Art is made up of emotions, and with such an intense
concentration of artwork all in one place Anger Man had been
obliged to take up this assignment. Anger Man had been given
strict order by his superiors (a very important and secretive
organisation) to stay with in the boundaries of the Art Gallery
and to NOT go wondering around the city.
All of a sudden, Anger Man felt an irresistible urge to consume
some churros. The fact that the Art Gallery didn't sell churros
made him muchly vexed. "It looks like the Art Gallery cafe doesn't
sell churros. You look angry Anger Man." observed Obvious
Boy. Wanting to avoid disaster, Anger Man and Obvious Boy formulated
an ingenious plan to gain possession of some churros. It occurred
to Anger Man that he could discreetly sneak down to the South Bank
Markets and acquire some churros.
So, with Obvious Boy in tow, Anger Man went against his orders
and exited the building stage left (which was opposite stage
right as Obvious Boy remarked). Anger Man decided that if he was
discovered outside his designated post he would use the excuse
that he was "looking for his bracelet which had blown away in the
wind". Equipped with naught but a poster for defense, Anger Man and
Obvious Boy set off on their mission to obtain some churros.
Cleverly covered in the light of day, Anger Man and Obvious Boy
made a mad dash across the busy streets, daringly dodging vehicles
and cunningly carving through the traffic like a disoriented lab
rat in a complex maze. Once the daunting task of crossing the
street was over, Anger Man and Obvious Boy nervously navigated their
way through the paths of South Bank (which Obvious Boy noted was
on the other side of the river to the North Bank), ever watchful for
their superiors who were also supposed to be in that neck of the
woods.
Once they reached the deep cover of the South Bank Markets they were able
to relax their guard and enjoy their highly entertaining yet immensely
illegal little jaunt. As they came within sight of the Churros Stall
Obvious Boy said "Look! There's the Churros Stall." With great pleasure
Anger Man and Obvious Boy purchased some churros and sat down by a water
feature (which as Obvious Boy pointed out was rather wet) for some quality
churro and churro topping eating time.
After a quick stop at the chocolate shop, Anger Man and Obvious Boy were on
their way back to the Art Gallery. They were enjoying their pleasant little
stroll when all of a sudden Anger Man's phone went off. Anger Man and Obvious
Boy looked at each other with dread ~ if they were ever found to be deserting
their post's...the consequences were too horrible to even consider. Deserters
were not dealt with kindly back at Head Quarters. They would be sent to Traitor
Hill, and they wouldn't ever return...alive.
Anger Man gingerly pulled the phone out of his very masculine handbag, tensed
himself and answered the call.....
"Hello?...Yeah, ummmm, Hi Dad.....yes....we're still busy here - at the Art
Gallery...We're not ready to leave the Art Gallery yet...we're having here...
at the Art Gallery...no..we don't want you to pick us up out the front of the
Art Gallery in two minutes...yes..ahuh. Ok...We're fine here at the Art
Gallery...Ok...see you soon...love you to...bye."
Anger Man and Obvious Boy burst out into laughter in relief - then decided to
high-tail back to the Art Gallery.
Back at the Art Gallery, Anger Man and Obvious Boy disposed of all the evidence
that they'd ever left the Art Gallery and promptly forgot the near disaster that
had been...
