A Clockwork Orange
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
Burgess, Anthony (William Heinemann: UK, ISBN 0434098000)

 

The Monash Transfer and Recycling Station on Ferntree Gully Road gives you the best chance you’ll ever get to tolchock your property without bothering your conscience.

After paying their veck on the way in, you back your automobile up to the edge of a concrete pit three-feet deep. For as long as you want, they let you throw your stuff down there, watching it fly apart as it hits the ground. Boxes tear apart and CDs fly out through the holes. Electric kettles bounce like skipping stones, trailing their electrical cords. You pitch your microwave up into the air as hard as you can, grunting. For one crystalline moment it hangs in the air, rotating with the door open, before it explodes against the concrete.

“Aha! Ahahahahah!” you yell like a maniac out across the pit.

Freedom, my droogie bratties.

  1. Nicely written annd done!
    I began writing a blog myself just recently and
    realized that many blogs merely rework old ideas but add very little

    Some excellent ideas; you’ve absolutely managed to get on my list
    of writers to follow!

    Carry on the great work!
    Well done,
    Terrill
