The Curse of the Squidgy Gun
A Horror Story
by H uman

Whilst investigating the death of a local nurse, a brave swordsman called Elizabeth Barker uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, squidgy gun circulating throughout Kent. As soon as anyone uses the gun, he or she has exactly 80 days left to live.

The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look translucent. A marked person feels like a solid tortoise to touch.

Elizabeth gets hold of the gun, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into her mind: a slimy puppy balancing on a cold nurse, an old newspaper headline about a golfing accident, a hooded aardvark ranting about ankles and a drinking well located in a grand place.

When Elizabeth notices her thighs have tortoise-like properties, she realises that the curse of the squidgy gun is true and calls in her granddaughter, a police officer called Mavis McCallister, to help.

Mavis examines the gun and willingly submits herself to the curse. She finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. She finds the slimy puppy balancing on a cold nurse particularly chilling. She joins the queue for a supernatural death.

Elizabeth and Mavis pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded aardvark. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?

Eternity leave 

When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.
Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.

girl grip 

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
