Macrame' Coupe

Today's story and sketch "by me" we travel again to the Florida Keys, Night Key to be precise, were you see

Macrame Gofish piloting his intergalactic anion coupe, out front of his opulent Victorian mansion, which he

built himself many, many hundreds of years ago, after having a rather bad experience with a hurricane, while

looking over the area for a vacation home. Mac not ever having been in a storm of this kind, on his home moon

Lippo the Blue Moon. The rental (UFO) unearthly flying orbiter he had rented was not built to withstand a direct

hit from a flying Palmetto palm. And that was the Night, Mac become the first alien to be shipwrecked or (UFO) wrecked

in the Keys, But after the storm had passed, (in a couple days) Mac being a very optimistic Gofish, (later in life he

actually started the Optimists Club) but that is a story for another time.

Mac being the optimist, took stock of what he had going good for himself, and what was not, he first looked over his

transport, it was bent and non operational, he did have a good supply of moon pies, that would last a while,

but would need to find what was available to help him survive until Search and Rescue on Lippo responded to his (SOS),

Space Orbiter is Scrap signal. (which took many, many years for help to respond), Mac found he was the only life form

on the Island, except bugs, lots of bugs, and millions of good bugs, the bees that were making honey from the Sisal

plants. The Sisal plants numbered in the thousands, Mac began making Honey Moon Pies, and goods from the fiber to trade

with the many sailors, and pirates who began to stop by to trade for his beautiful Sisal Mats, Hammocks, Belts,

Dartboards, beautiful plant hangers, and of course the plant being a type of Agave, made a wonderful drink he named Tequila,

after his X wife, the beverage had a kick. Sailors loved the Tequila so much he built the Victorian mansion as a B&B

for his customers, who could not make it back to there ships after trading and sipping. As Mac traded for things

like empty bottles, Which (Mac as the first recyclers on Earth) he would refill with of course Tequila, and tins

for the tasty honey Moon Pies, and materials to repair his bent Coupe, which he did, but stayed and only returned

once to Lippo, to honeymoon with his bride "Norma" who had been a scullery maid on a pirate ship (the Black Swan),

Norma jumped ship and fell in love with Mac, and he with her. And they lived a very happy life on Night Key.
