Flushed: A funny short story: The Meantime Stories, #1

By Svingen and Pedersen

"Most highly recommended." - READERS' FAVORITE 5/5 STAR REVIEW!

The President's world is about to turn upside down in this acclaimed and hilarious short story about power, politics and an obstinate toilet.

During a summit, the President faces his biggest challenge yet: A clogged toilet. What's the man to do? Leave the bathroom and say nothing on the matter? Or, take matters into his own hands?

 

THE MEANTIME STORIES is a funny short read series that draws inspiration from Terry Pratchett, Monty Python, and Douglas Adams, drenched in Nordic Noir (human folly, plentiful abrupt deaths, snappy dialogue, quirky deep thoughts, and absurd outcomes). It's glittering darkness, and clouded light.

Each story is a stand-alone, ready to be enjoyed when you yearn for 30 minutes of wacky, brainy, and laugh-out-loud entertainment. Longing for surprises, unexpected twists, and silliness with an edge? Look no further, because in the Meantime, anything can happen!

In the Meantime ...

The President is on his knees beside the toilet bowl, taking snapshots of his stool.

Under normal circumstances he won’t stoop to such deviant behavior, but he has never produced such a massive load of internal residue—nor ever had the pleasure of squeezing out an uninterrupted log of such length and girth. It's a splendorous, awe-inspiring sight; so worthy of an unequaled statesman. Well worth documenting. For personal use only, of course.

It is verging on miraculous that this corporal deliverance should happen here and now: At the British Prime Minister’s private residence, during a summit, with the higher echelons of international politics right outside the bathroom door. The President suffers from "away ground bowel
