Big End: A Short Story from Me-Mo

Big End: A Short Story from Me-Mo
The noise from the engine was now so bad that even turning the radio up full blast couldn’t drown it out- there was nothing else for it... Mo was going to have to bite the bullet (and bonnet) on this one- and go to the local greasepit garage (otherwise known as The Three Daves) to get it sorted.
After much teeth air-sucking- (enough to create a black-hole type vacuum, causing, Mo could swear, spanners, spotlights and even a few car jacks to gravitate towards Dave’s massive inhalation) a diagnosis was upon us......”It’s yer Big End, love...It’s gone!”
With a quiet grin, Mo stole a sneaky look over her shoulder into the grimy mirror, delicately enhanced with Jodie Marsh type lookalike studies of the human form (great on anatomy- these Daves)....What the hell was he talking about?- Mo’s Big End was still there!...She really was going to have to step up the Pilates and jogging this New Year.
(Mo was only joking though, she really did know that her Big End was the connection between the conrod and the crankshaft-Ha!)
“What can I do about it?...Can I cover it up with a few Me-Mo stickers?” Mo pleaded.
“It’s beyond that, love. Me-Mo’s great for enhancing the general demeanour of your car, adding expression, a touch of personalization, that ‘je ne sais quoi’ that differentiates it from the rest of the fleet” (hang with me, reader...this IS a story!) said Dave....”but this thing’s bigger than the both of us.....(well, it was when it was working).....If I were you I’d click on the Car Finance section on Me-Mo’s home page and get yerself another motor sorted....”
“Blimey, what a Big End to 2008” thought Mo...”I wasn’t expecting that to happen.”
The (Big) End
