An Example

An sub heading

You would not find it in the Megaversal Tourist Guide (except perhaps under the heading of 'Avoid like the plague') nor would you see it advertised as 'Ideal for Weekend Breaks - fun and frolic for all the family!'  The explanation for this negative thinking is simple.  Planet Zong was utterly, totally and completely unpopular - with just about everybody.

            Why this should be so is slightly more complicated but we will get to grips with explanations soon enough.

 

            Naturally, as the place were so poorly regarded you would probably say to yourself "Well, I'll not bother to go there then."  But that might not be enough to save you because, and here's an odd thing, Planet Zong could always come to you. 

 

            Yes, it moved!

 

            In fact it parped and blarped its way crazily around the galaxy like a giant punctured balloon and, what's more, it left a trail of reeking gas clouds wherever it went.  Not surprisingly the inhabitants of other planets were not at all impressed. They rushed to shut themselves away and held their noses whenever Zong spiralled past. 

            You could always tell when it was coming by the loud and unpleasant raspberry blowing noises that it made.  And there was definitely no mistaking when it had been because of the indescribably nasty smell that it left behind. 

 

            Throughout the Megaverse and into the dark regions beyond, this smell was known as ZongPong.  Thick green clouds of it would hang around for days and ruin everything that had been carelessly left outside such as the washing or the cat.  And woe betide you if you were daft enough to get caught by the ZongPong while sun bathing!  Your skin would stink like rotten eggs and mouldy school cabbage for weeks.
