Maxwell lay in his bed, watching a documentary about
gene splicing, that sorely tested his patience with its
facile
descriptions of how the technology supposedly worked.
He would scream if he heard one more mention of
"miracle
cure" or "magic bullet". It was infuriating.
At that moment,
a furry creature he recognised as a
southern hemisphere macropod (kangaroo) bounded into
the room, pursued by a posse of nurses and security
guards, skidding under the bed and tossing a package on
the bed beside him as it disappeared from view.
It then gathered itself up on the far side of his bed,
adjusted its hat, checked its pouch was empty, fixed
Maxwell with a firm glance and bounded out of the
window.
Maxwell reached tentatively for the package, which bore
a
number of large URGENT labels, and a sender's address
from the opposite side of the globe.
"An Express Courier Wallaby", he thought, grinning to
himself.

p.s. to last email - decided mid-afternoon was late
enough. Can confirm that the rum is the elixir of life
itself. |

P.S. I hope that "elixir of life itself" quote is somehow
prescient. |
