The slamming cargo jolted Jim Phelps awake. In moments, darkness enveloped him. He rolled his eyes and thought,
Damn! This is so classic. That Mission: Impossible (also known as IMF) Force have screwed
me over for the last time! Apparently the IMF had always had no patience
with the slightest infractions. (He refused to remember the shady deals he had made over the
years FOR the IMF.)
Jim caught the rays of light cutting through a rusted metal hole from the corner at the top. Opening a crate of Speedos , Jim formed a chain of the colorful swimwear and retrieved his “Grappling hook in minutes!” from his secret spy tool belt. Having won First Prize in Grappling Hook Throw at the annual "IMF Olympics", Jim was up and over like a flash.
Later, Jim Phelps perused the sea
of cargo crates until he at last spotted his ever-faithful blue convertible
with white leather interior.’
As he revved up the powerful
engine, his white-blond hair gleamed in the sunlight. He drove off into the sunset, a
man on a mission…a mission only he and his team could appreciate.
Tomorrow let’s just see if the CIA has any job openings...
This came from Wednesday Words, from 2014. Go with the flow of the story? Who knows what I was thinking?
Desilu productions took big chances in accepting two proposals. One was Star Trek and the other Mission Impossible.
Note: Mission Impossible was a risk for Desilu Productions. It paid off.
I am so glad they took this chance. I was in High school at the time and TV programs were definitely slanted toward the Soap Operas and Farm reports. Star Trek was amazing, even n B/W.
