Ripping Yarns

Ripping yarns

There once was an idealistic young man. At a time when Communists were vilified, ostracised from society and in some cases executed, this young man became one.

He went to Russia, the evil empire, where he found a wife with whom he had a daughter. He returned to his place of birth with his alien wife, where they had a second daughter. He had family and friends, some of them influential.

In a neighbouring island a revolution happened that inspired the young man to talke a stand. He found some notoriety.

He decided to shoot the leader of his country of birth, which he did and after which he calmly made his escape. Along the way he met a policeman whom he also shot and killed. Apparently he was making a dash for the embrace of communist Cuba where Castro was anxiously waiting for him, probably to give him a high post from where to fight the good fight.(Along the way he intended to visit all missile sites on US soil and defuse the bombs just in case somone figured out what happened.)

Then he went to the movies.

The end.

In a neighbouring island a revolution happened that inspired the young man to take a stand. He found some unpleasant notoriety.

He had a young family to care for. So, he withdrew to another place where he got a job. His President was shot near the place hwere he worked. He realised that his past was a problem for him so when he also realised that no more work was likely for that day, he decided to go somewhere quiet while things got sorted out. A dark movie theatre seemed like a good place. He may have been shadowed. No one seems to know. Nevertheless on the way to the theatre he heard more shots somewhere nearby. The day seemed 'dangerous' so he quickly made his way to the 'safety'.

There once was a patriotic young man. At a time when Communists were vilified, ostracised from society and in some cases executed, this young man became a commie hunter.

In order to infiltrate the enemy, he went to Russia, the evil empire, where he found a wife with whom he had a daughter. He returned to his place of birth with his alien wife, where they had a second daughter. He had family and friends, some of them influential. He was connected to the secret police bodies of his home country.

In a neighbouring island a revolution happened that gave him an opportunity to worm his way into the confidence of the enemy, so he decided to shoot the leader of his country of birth, which he did and after which he calmly made his escape. Along the way he met a policeman whom he also shot and killed. Apparently he was making a dash for the embrace of communist Cuba where Castro was anxiously waiting for him, probably to give him a high post from where to fight the good fight. Once ensconced in the heart of enemy country he would wreak havoc on them, while reporting to his superiors in the mother country. He anticipated great things, fabulous fame and fortune, maybe even a new pair of shoes for his daughter.

Then he went to the movies.

The end.
