Bromford's Arc - Part 23 - 12:21 a.m.



Bon hiver! Bon hiver!


Apartment 4 - Second Floor - right hand side … and we walk all night.

'The Dingos' got my baby!' somebody cries out loud.

'Please, please', Dinah and Dirk Dingo are begging for patience and understanding. 'Those are just misunderstandings, prejudices und stereotypes. We Dingos don't kidnap and eat babies of any species.'

'Nigel? Where is my Nigel?'

'Oh, come on, Kylie', I say. 'There he is, right next to the fire extinguisher and the glass fronted fire hose box.'

'Meryl Streep lied in that movie, you know', I can hear Dinah Dingo murmer.

'After Donald had died, Bromford had another dream in which a llama appeared to him. The llama said, 'Get up, take Nigel and Kylie and go back to The Land of Great, for those who were trying kill Nigel are dead.'

So Bromford got up, took Nigel and Kylie and they went back to The Land of Great. But when he heard that Donald's son, Barron, was now king of The Land of Glory, he was afraid to go there. So instead they went to Greenland, and lived in their old town of Qaanaaq. - The End.'

'What is this?' The Llama gets upset. 'This is supposed to be the end of your ominous Y-Mess Story. A mess, indeed, your story is. You are a bad storyteller, Bromford Bibble. Shame on you, dude! And where is the promised adventure? I want my adventure!"

'It was and always has been the bestest story of all time', Dinah Dingo contradicts. 'Don't you think, Dirk darling? Bromford Bibble is the bestest storyteller of the world. No, he is even badder! And he will save us all. Each and every pair of us.'


And way down we go …


"Bromford"

Christmas, Bromford, Idaho's
Her oldest memory
She was only two
It's the first time she felt blue

Cafeteria, Harrison elementary
Beneath the parachute
Saw her without shoes
7-up I touched her thumb

And she knew it was me
Although she couldn't see
Unless of course she peeked

My mom's good
She got me out of
Bromford, Idaho
Before I got to old
You know how that goes

That's where she still was
The summer she turned 17
1983, three weeks after me

So last I heard, she had twins
Or maybe it was three
And though I'll never see
That don't bother me.
