The Modern Marlboro Man

Prompts = Toxic, Occurrence, Atom

Kaching Kaching Kaching ‘Howdy pardner.’

The rugged cowboy, complete with Stetson, stood solidly, arms crossed. He looked down on me, bespectacled, in my lab coat. I stared up in awe.

‘I hear you’ve got some biological rustling needing done.’

I swear I gulped. ‘Yes sir.’ I might have squeaked.

He nodded knowingly.

‘There’s…’ I might have squeaked again.

He held up his hand. ‘You’re dealing with an unfortunate but highly toxic occurrence related to material smaller than a hydrogen atom. That’s why they sent me.’

And then he strode off towards the infected space.

My hero, the Modern Marlboro Man.
