Chris' Marvelous Medicine 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
Reading is a good thing right?
When I was a little kid I was actively encouraged to read as much as possible. One of my favourite authors was Roald Dalh and I took a particular liking to his book "Goerge's Marvelous Medicine" in which we find a young boy getting revenge on his malicious old grannie by concocting the most incredible medicine from a variet of household cleaning products, foodstuffs, bugs and all sorts.
Naturally I just had to give it a go myself. Not that my nan was especially unpleasant, but well, I was a 7 year old boy, it's what we do.
Anyway. I got myself a bucket and ransacked every room in the house for ingredients for my medicine. By the time i'd finished i had a highly toxic, extremely flamable, bright pink mixture, with brown lumps in it and parts of my sisters My Little Pony if i remember correctly. And at this point I was beginning to feel very nausious indeed with the smell of it. But gleeful thoughts of my gran growing to the size of a house and running around as if she had "bangers in her bottom" drove me on and I continued adding the contents of the cleaning cupboard with with abandon
To this day I can't remember what the last thing was that I added. All I remeber is tipping another bottle of something into my mixture then waking up in hospital. I think it had something to do with mixing chlorine bleach and amonia.
