Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for December 13, 2020

Well, Spud does seem to be operating at minimum factory settings….

What’s his best-by date? Maybe he’s expired.

Neither is Gwen, but thats a long story.

Wallace the Blade Runner

Very wise. Movies and TV have taught us to have pre-discussed a Super Big Secret Question with a friend in case an “evil twin” scenario crops up.

" … and watched political dramas."

That alone was worth a Like.

It’s a legit question.

That wasn’t correct, Spud, because Wallace has told everyone that!

Hahahaha!!!

Spud’s facial expressions throughout the “interrogation” are a hoot.

No, Spud. You’re the time-traveling fugitive Wallace has forgotten he is chasing.

If I had a clone, he’d mostly do yard work. And eat the bulk of Mrs. Baker’s culinary “creations.”

It’s simple. A clone would not have the same scars, marks, and tattoos as the original. So look for surgery scars. Unless… the cloners replicated those after they used advanced techniques to artificially age their clone.

What gave him away?……

There was a short-lived series with a similar premise-“ Life on Mars”

I wonder how often they go through this…because I get the impression this hasn’t been the first time.

So he’s not a time-traveling cop suffering from amnesia?

When we were younger, my sister and I would do the same thing. Once I failed the test and she told me I was an alien who replaced me.

HAH! I am with the Seagull- Sonny!!?

Gotta love Wallace. Not only does he enjoy living in a fantasy world, it’s a different world everyday. And he spends an inordinate amount of time attempting to drag his friends into it. As far as Amelia’s concerned, she probably scooted off to the girls room when the interrogation started.

Oh, again, wow.

So much to enjoy in this short story.

I love it just as it is but wouldn’t mind seeing it spun into a full-fledged narrative arc.

“Show me your belly button!”

Sonny!?!

“You’re in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden…”

“Is this the test now?

Some times the answers are too perfect …

Seems like the same wild, party animal we all know and love…

HAHAHAHAAA

“Sonny” Gee Spud as nice parents!

This is how you pull a prank on Spud, sonny

Laughed at the seagull’s incredulous gesture: “Sonny???”

Spud: “My name is Spud Sonny…” (ROFL)

Seagull goes “Sonny?!?!?”, hahahahah.

Sonny!?!?
