Jinx Makes Things Go Boom
Characters:Jinx and Marco [Others are welcome]
Location: Deck eleven, in front of the fire
Date: Present
Rating: PG-13 Jinx for Language, Gore, and Stupidity.
Jinx has finally decided to get started on his project. And what better place than deck eleven right in front of the fire? Nowhere, that’s where. And Mimmi, Mikaela, and Marco had told him to watch his ass so he doesn’t kill anyone this time. He has all of his materials set out. First on the list is his blasting gelatin, made from nitrated sawdust and nitroglycerin. Ingredients for nitroglycerin, surprisingly, are not too hard to come by around here. Once made, all one can do is pray because its strength is far greater than the power of either of its ingredients.
Next, is his mercury fulminate. He only managed to concoct a tiny beaker-full, because he had to use a small thermometer as his mercury supply. This stuff happens to be the primary ingredient in blasting caps and detonating devices.
Jinx was wearing his mask. Why? Because he’s not going to sacrifice safety in the name of fun, that fire is nothing compared to his last ingredient. Trinitrotoluene, or TNT if you didn’t pay attention in your daily explosives engineering course. It can blast 2.25 million pounds per square inch and is incredibly stable, so he really didn’t feel the need to bring more than a few ounces. To make this bad boy, all Jinx needed was sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and toluene. Really not that hard to come by, or make, if you are truly creative.
So here sits Jinx, minding his own business and setting up his recent invention. It’s going to be big and, to be honest, any onlookers that don’t run like hell are going to get blown to hell.
