The 3rd annual Valentiny writing contest is now open. If you haven’t done so already, head here to check out the rules, and read some amazing Valentiny entries. I decided to bring back my lovable characters The Evil Dr. Gerbil and Wonder Weasel for this 214 word entry. I don’t normally enter twice, but I couldn’t resist bringing back these guys. Hope you all enjoy!
Fox Breaking News…
“Turn that off Patty!”
“But why Evil Gerbs? You’re famous.”
“I’m not famous, I’m infamous.”
“Same difference.”
“Not to me. When I was a pup, do you think I wanted be The Notorious Evil Dr. Gerbil?
No, I wanted to be a star! I had talent you know, big dreams.”
“Well then,” Patty said, “Why don’t you enter the Valentine’s Day, Villains Got Talent Show?”
“I secretly hoped for a shot on that show. Imagine, ME, The Evil Dr. Gerbil a STAR!”
MEANWHILE BACK AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS…
“Wonder Weasel, any leads on Dr. Gerbil’s whereabouts?”
“No Commissioner Wallaby, not yet. But I have an idea, and I’m hoping I’m right.”
“What is it WW?”
“The Valentine Villains Got Talent show is tomorrow. I know that rodent would like nothing more than a shot at legitimate stardom.”
“Well, that’s it then, stake out the joint. This may be your chance to finally nab that lab rat once and for all.”
“I hope you’re right Commissioner.”
“For you’re sake Wonder Weasel, I hope you’re right!”
DAY OF THE VALENTINE’S VILLAINS GOT TALENT SHOW
“And the winner is…The Evil Dr. Gerbil”
Click, click, click, click.
“You’re under arrest Dr. Gerbil”
“Wonder Weasel, how’d you know I’d be here?”
“Let’s just say I had hope….”
oh my! His fame did him in! I wish you well with this story.

Thank you Hilary. It’s characters like these that make me frustrated I’m not an illustrator. I would love to do a comic book like layout. I appreciate your comments.
