Day in the Liff - El Generalissimo James Turner

“El Generalissimo James Turner, after fleeing communist oppression in the former-Soviet Republic of Eastern Canada, the Generalissimo took control of the small island nation of New Steveland, in the 67^th military coup in the nation’s 4 year history.” – Paul Saunders, Narration, The Job

It was a bleak day that El Generalissimo Turner chose to launch his attack on the Haus of Phail, a building that had been stolen from the nearby Union of New Old Real Georgetown. Taking the Haus would be the final nail in the turbulent history of New Steveland, Turner would remake New Steveland into the Republic of Republic.

All was going well with the staged invasion of a stolen monument to a pre-Soviet Eastern Canada, until he brought out the “big gun,” a large nuclear rifle stolen from the Western Alliance of Eastern Members of the Southern North Sea Coastline. The order was carried out by his handpicked “Mover” troops, chosen after the Generalissimo returned from a trip with a pair shady gentlemen, expressing interest in acting upon some job.

The nuclear rifle was fired upon the Haus with gusto by the troops, hoping to see the greatness of the Generalissimo encapsulated by that one moment of triumph. The rifle was of a different mind, specifically, the rile thought “Hey, I’ve got a great idea, why don’t I miss-fire and kill the entirety of Mr. Turner’s troops, causing the Haus of Phail to continuing existing and provide both the idea of a curse upon the Haus, and the destruction of the good general’s name, reputation, and chance at keeping the record for number of coups in five years time firmly at the 90 of the Republic of the Leftmost Peninsula Over On That One Island made in 1892-7”

And so the gun did, the nuclear warhead simply thinking, “Oh, that is bullshit,” before exploding and killing the “crack” troops of the Generalissimo. This explosion ended the ceremony, and the attempt at finding and securing the peace in New Steveland.

James watched as the insane scheme broke into infinitesimal pieces, the Generalissimo after a pause, broke himself, and ran. He fled to island of Old Steveland to live and die another day.

Day in the Liff - Introduction

In an attempt to force myself to write more, and thus hopefully experience some form of strengthening, I shall endeavour to enact this project, Day in the Liff, stand-alone short stories featuring characters from Loading Ready Run videos, my own mind, and any other location characters can be found. The stories should be, by nature, able to force me to put effort into maintaining this project. I have no excuse now.

In other words, I actually write things, go me.
