The Adventures of Dick Phillips in Time and Space: The $5 café (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Previously . . . I whirled the 44.80 and fired directly into Dr. Blood’s forehead. The Gorgon jumped between us! Its brain exploded, but it was still alive. The spiked tongue lashed my face. The ladies screamed and tried to hide. Impossible! The hideous Gorgon too strong, too ugly, too fast. Fat Linda’s white bra red and dripping blood. My debutante, Cynthia, wearing a fragrance called White Lotus, but I couldn’t smell it. The room stank slaughter. Dr. Blood, his engorged blue vein pumping on the bald skull, watched and laughed. “You’re a dead man, Phillips!” Blood screamed and darted through the time portal. “I’ll get you Blood!” I cried and formed my hand into the Mandrake claw of death. “I’ll get you if it’s the last thing I do!” The dying Gorgon lashed at me. Again and again it slashed and plummeted me. Its tentacles ripped my face and tore at my eyes. I couldn’t see. Time stopped. Split seconds shattered. The red puss glands spewed acid on my face. Tentacles pulled my head toward the fletching stinger. Mandrake claw form! Slamming through the Gorgon’s exterior metal plate, I serrated the spongy gut. My claw made a hollow sound, sluck! I pulled the spine through the warm green flesh and with one hard crunch, wrenched it, and crushed it. The mutant puked and collapsed. The danger was over, but hundreds of innocent people and creatures died. At least, the ladies were still alive. Cynthia was safe, but I didn’t know if Linda would ever recover. “Blood!” I screamed. “Blood, you can’t escape me forever. I’ll get you! I’ll rip your hideous mind from that pulsing blue vein!” The time portal disappeared. “Cross my path again Blood, you die!” I wished I could have that evil time-master in front of me again. I pumped the slime covered Mandrake claw. Be careful what you wish for.
