- Once upon a time...
- There was a merc named J. J. Flop
- He was never very good at his chosen profession, however.
- He always seemed to terminate the wrong guy.
- Everytime.
- Once there was only him and his target on a planet.
- J. J. fired his gun.
- And killed another person entirely.
- In another galaxy.
- Don't ask how, no one quite knows, as the laws of physics state it is impossible.
- J. J. was doomed for unemployment, it seemed.
- That or a new career, but he would never go for that.
- One day he found himself sitting in the local bar, pondering why he couldn't seem to aim as well as was his right to aim.
- When, as luck would have it, he was approached by someone who had need of his particular set of skills.
- After all, he was never bad at killing, he just could never hit his targets.
- He was sent to a far off planet, with orders to kill a single member of an alien race.
- His employer was hoping he would miss his shots, and end up wiping out that settlement.
- So he sent J. J. Flop to the planet, and watched from galaxies away as he fired two shots at the target.
- One hit the employer, and the other ended J. J. Flop.
- J. J.'s friends wondered how a former general/representative/senator could go so wrong.
- And why he changed his name from Binks to Flop.
- The moral of our story?
- Take that 9 to 11 job, the mercenary life is probably not for you.
- The End...
