Riga Taught
Riga was in a very bad mood. And with a bad moods action was needed. It went back to Riga’s little pet dog. This was a purple spaniel called Cecil. He had been sniffing weeds in the neighbour’s garden. Cecil had stepped on a landmine and been blown to pieces. The neighbour was deeply paranoid. Hence the landmines. Riga was beyond mad. She flew her spaceship over the offending house. With her loudspeaker she demanded the paranoid neighbour show himself. Five times Riga said this. She fired a burst of laser energy at his lawn. This set off two more mines. The agitated neighbour showed himself. He opened fire with a Remington pump action shotgun. The ball bearings pinged off her ship. Riga fired again scorching his grey slippers. He loosed of more rounds. Riga kept the voice channel open. My dog. You killed my purple dog Cecil. You need to pay a penance. His reply was a middle finger and shouted curse words. He fired three more times. Riga bellowed over the loudspeaker. You will pay for your bad attitude. She was furious and stamped her feet! Small but terrible and exceedingly angry. Poor little purple dog. Out exploring and blown to pieces. Riga moved the laser and hit his fortified house. It burned immediately. He waved his hands and reloaded his pump gun. Riga fired again. We are even now you wanker! Where will you sleep tonight? On the grass by your damn land mines? His gun boomed again. Riga had enough of his belligerence. She pressed the button and lasered his house. It glowed incandescent. Nothing but smoke and fire. She aimed at his substandard blue Chinese 4×4 SUV. This detonated like one of his landmines. Debris flew spun out. The paranoid man threw his gun down and fell to the grass. He held his hands up and cried sorry! Riga zoomed in the vision window. Tears streamed down his face. Real tears. The small female wiggled her toes and nodded. A result. Her victory. Over the channel she said that’s it for now. We are even. My purple dog has been avenged. If you piss me off I will be back. Riga moved the flight controls and her ship climbed away. She would return later. Satan help her neighbour if he misbehaved. Now Riga flew to the mountains to bury her dead purple dog from Planet Zanussi. RIP Cecil…
