BRAYSTON MARROW EPISODE 2

BRAYSTON MARROW: SPACE DETECTIVE

EPISODE 2: MRS. BUTSON'S KITTY CAT GETS CAUGHT UP IN A SPACE TREE

Ppsssssssshhhheeewwww!! Brayston Marrow's spaceship flew through space like a rock skipping across pristine water, but the water for the spaceship was asteroids.

"These asteroids are bonking my spaceship all over tarnation!" Brayston hollered above the din. "We gotta get through these asteroids if we're going to make it to this emergency call from the Butson residence!"

They got there but the ship got damaged pretty badly by the asteroids. There were dents all over it.

"And I just made the last payment on this baby!"

They got to the Butson estate, and when they got there Mrs. Butson came running out a hootin' and a hollerin'.

"Mah kitty cat! Mah kitty cat! Mah kitty cat done run up that tree Mister Barrow!"

"Now settle down Mrs. Butson, which tree is it now?"

Mrs. Butson pointed at a space tree that was in her front yard. It's a tree that goes all the way up into space.

"Oh, come on now, Mrs. Butson. Your kitty cat went up into space? Now I have to go all the way up there and get the cat down?"

"Mah kitty cat! You got to get mah kitty down from that tree up into the magic sky!"

"Oh, Christ."

Brayston put on his spacesuit, which was a little too tight, because he was getting fatter, and started climbing up the space tree.

"You go get that kitty Mister Rarrow!"

Brayston climbed and climbed and climbed. Pretty soon he was looking down on the planet below (Remicone 4) from space. He peered around the space branches for the cat, but he didn't see anything.

"Where are you, cat? Where are you kitty kitty kitty kitty?" Brayston said.

"Mew!"

Brayston snapped his head to the left. There was the cat, leering at him with a knowing grin.

"Purrrrrr, Brayston, you can't return me to that planet. We both know this. I have a mission that cannot be meddled with."

"I know, Beltror, but I had to appease your owner and make it look like I was trying to get you down. She'll be heartbroken, you know that Beltror."

"Purrrrrr, yes Brayston, but all for a worthy cause. If the universe is to retain its balance, the dark one must be stopped. I am a link in the chain to his defeat."

"Go forth, Beltror. I will tell Mrs. Butson that you won't come down, but that someday...someday you might."

"Purrrrrr, farewell Brayston Marrow. You will see me again as things fall into place."

"Yes. Soon the blackness will be pierced with a blinding light, and the universe will be free once again."

Brayston climbed back down the space tree.

"Mah kitty cat! Where's mah kitty cat!"

Brayston frowned.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Butson, but he's stuck right up there. But, you know, it looked like he might want to come back down soon. He'll be down soon enough."

Brayston and Mrs. Butson had a TV dinner and watched a game show. Then Brayston got back in his ship and flew back to his hideout.
