Lost In The Paperwork Shuffle, Red Tape & Other Crevices & Crannies: An Occupational Hazard>Act 18

Sometimes in the midst of things, prisoners here on Devil’s Island tend to get lost in the shuffle of paperwork, until the realization of the situation at hand shows that nothing can be done to bring them back because they’ve been executed, commit suicide or otherwise escaped.

Such was the case recently for four prisoners, Hot-Lips Kitty, Silent Sarah, Little Mama & Conventional Chip.

Nobody seemed to notice any of these four prisoners gone until Johnny Vegas started inquiring about it. It seems peculiar that whenever Johnny Vegas inquires about anything, The Most Holy Father & Josie Peppermint will take time out of their busy prison schedule and listen. yet, anyone else that requests the same thing or puts forth questions on varying states of Devil's Island, well, let's just say it will undoubtedly fall on deaf ears.

Conventional Chip on the other hand, tended to stay quiet about things in general, mostly keeping close in contact to Josie Peppermint, The Flat-Footed Floogies, Roy & Floy and Brimstone Bettina.

He spent what seemed like an entire lifetime here on Devil’s Island, just smashing the rocks with his hammer, eating, smoking his prisoner-allotted cigarettes and starving himself most disconcertedly, which explains why he decided to end his life by starvation.

Conventional Chip came to Devil’s Island many moons ago, after committing his only know crime to humanity; an accidental episode of being unconventional to the outside world, which of course landed him a spot in the most feared place in the world and that of course is Devil’s Island.

Not much is known about the demise of Hot-Lips Kitty other than to sadly note that she spoke and sucked lips a little too much, a bit too much for those temporarily in command. The same holds true for Silent Sarah. She didn’t speak at all, so lo and behold; she disappeared forever after.

Little Mama, however saw a most tragic, if not horrible and horrendous fate, indeed. Only hours before The Great Devil’s Island Blackout & Prisoner Escape occurred, while she was cooking a meal inside her prison cell, the switch to turn on the flame accidentally sparked across the prison cell bars, where Little Mama was leaning up against when suddenly without warning, she was electrocuted in a freak accident and burned over 95 percent of her body.

Then of course, there is still the the age old question on the table that remains untouched to this day; where are The Fraternal Goon Twins, Makeshift Mark and Upper Prison Brass? Also, it has been reported that Groggleman is missing in action. Earlier reports seemed to indicate that he was seen by many prisoners after the power was restored, but those sightings have now been proven false.

To refresh your memory, when The Great Devil’s Island Blackout & Prisoner Escape occurred, several authority figures went down with the ship and are now missing and are still presumed dead. No single rumor or shred of evidence has come forward to this day to prove otherwise. It seems very strange that after all this time that no prisoners from Devil’s Island have come forward to offer up any information on what they may or may not know about those missing.

Those that remain in command; The Barnaby Boys, the Tommy-Gun Twosome, The Sorcerer Sisters, The Holy Father, Josie Peppermint, “Groveling Gary” and “Grandma Gretchen,” have never to this day mentioned any search and rescue efforts for those missing. Neither have they mentioned anything regarding search and recovery efforts either.

Those reported missing still seem to remain in a shroud of secrecy. Did they really disappear or are they actually hiding somewhere and don’t want anyone else to know? The mood on Devil’s Island since their disappearance seems to have gone to the wayside, almost party intensity. Prisoners seem more relaxed than ever and talk to each other more frequently.

Suffice to say, since their odd and unusual disappearance, those that are now gone have brought Devil’s Island back to its original state of mind; pure happiness, calm and contentment!
