Good Morning everyone. Today is the Longest day, or Summer Solstice

So it seemed a great time to do another One Sentence Story

This one is about The Summer Solstice and you may recognise one or two people involved.

It's your story so make it as mad, silly, weird, funny or creepy as you like.

You are only allowed to post one sentence and then wait for the next person to post another sentence before posting again.

I hope our regulars @pgn @TallTrees @MI5 @Anonymous  @gmarkj  @LukasB @TheresaV @Martin-O2 @Chris_K (and anyone I've missed, will join in)

I've set the scene below, so away we go......

Four friends - Marty, Luke, Terry (who was a girl called Theresa but hated the name, so Terry it was) and Chris took a trip to Stonehenge to watch the sunset at Summer Solstice. They stayed at a little village called Goreshead.

Before the sunset at 21.27, the friends decided to take part in a quiz at a very weird pub called

A Stab in The Dark.

Weird because despite the sun outside, the pub was dark and quite dingy. The lights were on even though the sun was out..

When they arrived they were welcomed by the Manager and his two bar staff. The Manager was called Peter Jones, but preferred to be known as  Pee Jean. He was rather funny looking as he said he was unable to get a haircut since lockdown , he fancied himself as a wordsmith and always took part in the pub quizzes. His two bar staff were Gill Shortbush (who kept bees) and Denny Riffraff (who kept cats….and was pretty good at doing the Timewarp).

The pub was quite full and on the stage was the Quizmaster called Miami-Jo. He was a real character surrounded by books and his quiz questions. Renowned for setting hard questions, as he was fed up of PeeJean, Gill Shortbush and Denny Riffraff winning every time.

Everyone gets drinks from the bar and with  that, a bell rings and the quiz starts.

Luke mutters to his friends..'Look if you don't know the answer, stop putting my name down all the time, I feel stupid'. Terry, Marty and Chris laugh and say, "well you are stupid Lukey boy". Luke kicks Terry's leg under the table and says he will pay her back for that one  day.

The quiz starts and the first two questions were easy. Everyone scribbled their answers down. Then the quiz got harder with a chemistry question being asked.

Suddenly there was a big bang and the lights went out

People reached for their phones to get some light but nothing worked.

5 minutes later the lights came on. The rest of the customers seemed frozen, they weren't moving.

An almighty scream was heard from Terry who pointed at Miami Jo who lay slumped over the table with his head caved in.

In front of Miami Jo was another table which held a hammer, an axe, a knife and a lead pipe...and then.......

[LukasB]

... and a toothpick...

The questions were collected and the 4 friends noticed the bar staff had got the chemistry question wrong....

[Mi-Amigo]

Miami Jo continued to tap away when Marty picked up his quiz questions and noticed Q4 was morse code...

[Cleoriff]

It's all because of this damn stupid quiz set by Miami Jo said Terry...We all got the chemistry question right except the bar staff so then the next question was Morse code so....

[TallTrees]

A mist came down across the room and figures in pagan rags from Stonehenge appeared at the pub door and...

[Mi-Amigo]

... and Marty said to the pagans "You`re too late for the pub quiz..." and said to the pub customers, "the next question should have been Morse code", at which point Luke got very excited and jumped up and down shouting, in his best Poirot accent "We have used our little grey cells and we know who attacked Miami Jo and caved his head in" 

[Cleoriff]

Luke strikes a pose and says....

[pgn]

"Feast your eyes, boys and girls!"

[TallTrees]

Terry asked meekly do you think Chris did it? Then the pagans attacked the Bar staff to get the 🍺 Gill Shortbush took up the axe and...

[pgn]

...took up Chemistry with a full blown a salt on...
