The Adventures of Dick Pornsak Part 1

Dick had flashbacks. The Grand High Poobar being sucked into a vacuum. The slightly condescending lawyer. The mother of the Grand High Poobar and her extended visit in the criminal hide out. The realisation that his new companions were not going to get back in time to prevent the tentacles creature from realising that her poor little squidling was no longer in the land of the living and the y-front wearing buffoon sitting in her son's seat just might have some answers. There had been questions, hard questions and then tentacles and.. He closed his eyes to drive away the memory.
