PeeDee3, Intergalactic Insectiod Assassin in: In Sheep's Clothing (Season 1, Episode 2)

By RyFT Brand

PeeDee3, Season 1, Episode 2

Cloaked in shadow, a tall figure lurks in a doorway, ducking the weather and a solitary street lamp. A pair of segmented antennae pokes though his faded fedora. Four plated arms are through the sleeves of a weathered trench coat; the collar’s pulled up high against the planet’s menthol flavored rain. Huge, complex eyes reflect light in a prism of colors. His mandibles click together in eager anticipation. On the mortar wall behind him ink runs from a wanted poster featuring his hard, crusty mug and is signed by Galactapus Caesar himself. A claw slips inside the coat and rests on the handle of his Tek-Tonic’s Turbo Tornado Thrust Generator. His mark, a bulbous blubbertoad slithers out of Dante’s Hotel Inferno. In a blur of claws the bug draws and fires, four weapons discharge simultaneously and a woman screams. It’s another mark down and another fee collected. All in a night’s work, if you happen to be PeeDee3, Intergalactic, Insectiod Assassin.
PeeDee3, Episode Two: In Sheep’s Clothing

Peedee3 has been hired by a ‘Dillo, a dame built like a brick house, meaning she’s even tougher than he is. Soon he’s traversing the galaxy accompanied by a slippery eel with his own plans. Before the day is over, PeeDee3 will face loss of life and limbs at the paws of a professional cat armed with a SST launched knievel missile. A bug never had it so good.

In Sheep’s Clothing is the unplanned, second Peedee3 story, the one that should have never happened, but the bug just wouldn’t stay dead...or maybe he did? File under Sci-Fi Noir Comedy Serial.

RyFT

Some say your entire life flashes before your eyes just as you gasp your last, wretched breath. Well, they’re right. Only it doesn’t play out in a neat, sequential order; it comes a little at a time and all scrambled around. Like some stupid clerk dropped the script to your life and just shoved all the loose pages back together, collation be damned, and passed it to the director. I should know; I’m dead…or dying…or something. I don’t know where I am, how long I’ve been here, or where the hell I left my astro-buggy keys. Maybe I’m in some kind of purgatory, one where the evil villain is forced to relive all his past indiscretions over and over again to learn some kind of lesson. Well I don’t know anything about learning, but whatever this is, it’s entertaining.

At the moment I seem to be reliving a somewhat unpleasant Tuesday. Man, I’ve always hated Tuesdays.
