LARGE NOSE MAN- Chapter 6

*What is this? A continuing story about a superhero I made up, Large Nose Man. I wrote much of this many years ago, so I have edited it to make (some) sense, although it’s just a bit of fun really. For previous tabs find them through the sections displayed to your right. One new chapter up every fortnight!*

Chapter 6

Alex and Webb, partners in impending doom, worked their ways to the brink of nuclear waste vat number one. Implanted into the floor, The Doctor slammed his glove fist on the control panel, forcing it to yawn open.

“I thought that would have been far, far more difficult,” mused The Doctor, as the green sludge bubbled up from the vat. A fleck landed on Kent’s shoe, and watched it sizzle into the top of his shoe. He felt a tingle, but nothing more. Further exposure to this stuff would reduced you to a sludgy puddle.

“A grim way to go to be sure, but at least it’s something interesting to put on you obituaries...because let’s face it, you guys were going nowhere…” said The Doctor. “It’s time Webb. In you go.”

Webb’s face dropped. Soon it would drop gain, but straight off his face, into nothingness. The vat stirred, and the small pops of the churning pot could be bearly heard over Webb’s heavy, delayed breaths.

Webb stared into the burning emerald abyss. The Doctor nodded solemnly to the henchman poised behind him. A strong hand pushed into his back. Webb tumbled in, feet first. His legs sizzled away like fleshy sparklers.

“Someone will make you pay for this…you watch…” burbled Webb, as he dissolved upwards, his face melting away. The Doctor smirked.

“And who’s going to do that? It’s not going to be you, is it?” The Doctor swung round to Kent, a mocking expression painted on his face.

But then, as quick as a flash, a squad of officers stormed into the room, guns raised.

“Police! Freeze you scumbags! Your mini reign of terror is over, Doctor” cried the head of the group, named Officer Dodah.

“I don’t think so! Die pigs! Perforate them boys!” Cried the Doctor. As they threw themselves behind the pillars beside the vat, lighting up the room as they did so.

Kent threw himself behind another pillar. He eyed up the fire escape. He could make it. But he had to be fast.
