We arrive on this scene to find it in disarray. There seems to be an
interesting battle taking place and the whole of the battlefield is a
set of heaving lungs. The lungs seem to be in some kind of stand off
with the immune system, all weapons aimed and primed for the battle.
Left
Lung: Sir, I ask you to kindly holster your weapons. We are of one
body, YOUR body. We are a part of this system and it is quite silly of
you to be attacking us in this manner.
A Bronchial Tube: *he is
clearly contracted and struggling to maintain airflow* I think I may
explode, sir. I can't take much more. Where is our back up?
Immune
System Sargent 1: I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid you don't have the
proper clearance to be a part of this system. I'm going to have to ask
you to cease and desist all operation immediately or we will have to
resume our attacks.
Right Lung: *into a tiny radio* Where the
fuck is our back-up?! We can't take much more and they aren't backing
down! Requesting immediate back-up!
There is a loud whistling and
wheezing that can be heard throughout the set of lungs, a warning siren
trying to contact their back-up.
Immune System Sargent 2: Fuck this, its a trap! FIRE!
The
Immune System begins an all out assault upon the lungs and bronchial
tubes, which have full constricted, restricting air flow. The wheezing
gets louder with every attempted intake of oxygen.
Right Lung: We are running low on O2, Commander. Where is our back-up?!
Voice Over: We're deploying as fast as possible, hold your positions!
Left Lung: Things are starting to look a little hazy, Sir. I'm beginning to feel a little blue-ish.
Voice Over: Maintain your positions! We are all apart of this same body, we can't let them destroy it!
Another Bronchial Tube: Intake valves completely blocked. O2... cannot... be... taken. *He quickly passes out*
Immune System Sargent 1: Keep firing men! Destroy the interlopers!
Immune System Sargent 2: For the love of Body, where the hell is all this haze coming from?
Left
Lung: That's because we can't get to our reserves of O2, you idiots!
Without it everything looks hazy. You have to hold your fire so we can
reopen the conduits!
Immune System Sargent 2: NEVER! ITS A TRAP!
Right Lung: YOU WATCH TOO MUCH FUCKING STAR WARS! For the love of Body, hold your fucking fire!
Just
as everything seems lost, the area above the lungs and immune system
fills with a soft mist. Steroidal Paratroopers drop in and begin
spraying the area. The Immune System retreats and the Bronchial tubes
are revived.
Immune System Sargent 2: *clearly high* Why were we fighting again? Everything is too pretty to fight.
Immune
System Sargent 1: *quickly losing to the effects of the steroids* I
know right? Everything is so... red. Such a pretty red. I wanted to be
red once.
Immune System Sargent 2: Dude, those lungs look like water balloons. Did you notice?
Immune
System Sargent 1: I think you are drunk, Sargent. They most definitely
look like heaving red petals, barely hanging on to the flower stems.
Right Lung: Man, that stuff works fast.
A Steroidal Paratrooper: That's what you wanted right? Fast back-up?
Left Lung: Not complaining. Just in awe of how fast your fast is.
A
Steroidal Paratrooper: That should keep them occupied for a while. *the
Paratroopers retreat further up leaving the lungs and bronchial tubes
to assess and reverse any damage*
Right Lung: Its too bad that this peace can't last.
Left Lung: There is no way to convince them that we are part of them is there?
Right
Lung: Unfortunately, no. This immune system is too damaged to realize
the truth. We just have to continue maintaining our ground.
Left Lung: In a never-ending civil war. Sounds almost poetic, don't you think?
