Alarmingly Strange Stories


Bobby Brady and the
Psychedelic Sewage Tank

by
Bel Garion

An old one toothed dirty bastard was walking down the street, he noticed a little boy sitting on the sidewalk. He seemed to be very sad by the look on his face, his hands on his knees, his head resting ever so slightly on them.

"Hello young fella, how are you this fine day?"

The little boy did not answer him and he let out a weep.

The old one toothed dirty bastard sat down next to him and started talking as if he knew him. He introduced himself as "Wacko The Wonder Bunny".

"Everyone has a bad day dear."

The little boy did not respond.

"Wacko The Wonder Bunny" went on hoping to make the little boy feel better. "When I was a little one, my dad could never find me when something was troubling me. He would call to me and I would laugh because I wouldn't answer him. Dad was much smarter than I; he let me believe that he didn't know were I was.
'Where were you?' He would ask.
'I was in the sewage tank.' I would answer."

The little boy began to cry; he said his name was Bobby.

"Did I say something wrong dear?"

As Bobby cried he tried to let out what was bothering him, only one word came out. "I'm, I'm…" Tears came down his little cheeks as he tried to finish his sentence. "I'm not having a bad day, I'm having a sad day."

"Why is that my dear?"

"My dad died today," Bobby's eyes filled with tears.

"Oh my dear child, I am so deeply sorry about your dad."

Bobby asked "Wacko The Wonder Bunny" why he lived to be so old, and his dad died much younger than he.

"Well my dear, I don't have the answer to that question. I can say that we never know when it's our time to go to Hell. Now was your dad's time, as far as I go well Lord Satan hasn't sent for me yet."

"How could he take my dad away from me?"

"He didn't take him away from you dear, he lent him to you, just as he lent you to your dad." Life is very precious dear we should cherish every day as if it were our last."

As Bobby and "Wacko The Wonder Bunny" talked, he noticed that he could not make Bobby feel better. He looked down his pants glanced back into his childhood. All the memories came to him in the clouds, as they were happening to him that very instant. He asked Bobby if he would like to see the sewage tank.
