Why Oranges Are Apples

The Shadow Guy, an inept vampire. The Harbingers of Doom, Death, Destruction, and Other Nasty Things. The Happy Elves, the Pissy Flippin' Bastards, an outlandish pachderm wannabe. A medley of deranged characters assault the stage in this Pythonesque collection of comedy sketches that took the college theater circuit by storm, available as 100% genuine electrons for the first time ever... Avast! We are the Harbingers of DOOM, DEATH, DESTRUCTION, and Other Nasty Things! You will be consumed by the totality of our unpleasantness, you will be sucked into the maelstrom of our sin... A Play in Several Farcial Acts of Retching Hilarity, as originally produced at New Voices 9 by the "masque" troupe of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and performed at numerous other colleges in the United States and Great Britain. Professionally published writer Alistair Ainscott writes tales of science gone haywire, men gone mad, oddballs gone even odder, twin toddlers run amok, cats doing the things that cats are given to do, and other nefarious goings-on of the mysterious and the unknown. His fiction has appeared in the professional-paying Penumbra magazine of speculative fiction from Musa Publishing, and he has also studied short fiction with Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith.
