“The hour of reckoning is upon us. Every word and Mark is doomed to extinction. English will no longer be spoken. Language as we know it will cease. We must ready our hands to communicate by sign. Grammar will cease to be.”
Alliteration issued a stern command to the invisible newcomer. “Discontinue dispersing despondence with depressing diatribes of dire doom.” He then turned apologetically to the Marks. “Heed not our high-strung, histrionic Hyperbole. Hyperbole harbours humongous … hang-ups. He habitually has hysterics, harping on horrendous hazards and harrowing hardships. His habit heightens heart failure.”
Metaphor was quick to step in. “Hyperbole is a lamb who grazes but one pasture.”
“He is a free captive,” Oxymoron added.
“Hyperbole appears to be the victim of Agoraphobia,” Comma explained to Quotes.
“Frankly, friends, our fellow Figure fell foul of fifteen phobias in a fierce fight. A frightfully flabbergasting phenomenon that forces him to be forever fazed and freakishly frazzled. A frustrating fix.”
