Ramona and the Escape from Thursday

Once there was a day called Thursday, and it was so boring that everyone banded together to escape from its dreaded clutches.

"Courage, friends!" said Ramona, the leader of this daring exploit. "If we don't find a way out of this blank doldromy (made-up word), we'll perish in a most unpleasant fashion."

The way out of Thursday was riddled with nap-traps and grogasauruses, but eventually Ramona and her heroic companions stumbled upon the trap-door that led out of Thursday.

"Zounds, it does a body good to stumble on something!" said Ramona.

"Yes!" said her companion Danae. "I haven't stumbled on anything in years ... or at least, ever since Thursday started."

"Where does the mystic portal lead to?" Queried Valeria, the most sensible of all the companions.

"Either to Friday .... or to certain death." answered Ramona. She wrenched the trapdoor open and a gust of frigid air bust through the dank stillness of the Thursday air. "Who's with me?"

"All!" shouted everyone simultaneously.

"Then let us go forth, with our battle cry - I'll lead the way!" said Ramona.

Then did they all go forth, gnashing their teeth and voicing their terrible battle cry: "FOR AMUSEMENT!!!"

Their fate is unknown.

THE END
