Drabble Challenge #119

Prompt: cricket

"This is an outrage!"

"He's making a mockery of what we do!"

"I'll never be able to unsee that!"

"It burns! It burns!"

"...I did kind of laugh a little though, in spite of myself."

Several voices murmur in guilty agreement.

"That's beside the point! Something must be done about him."

"Agreed, but what?"

"Something... permanent."

"Surely you're not suggesting--"

"Do you have a better idea?"

The quiet sound of crickets in the distance answered the question and sealed his fate.

"It is decided then. From this day forward, Mark Davis shall be forbidden from using puns of any kind."
