# I, Tonk

I, Tumbril Nova Tonk, strong.

This Big Momma. Big Momma also strong. Big Momma big. Big Momma fly.  

Big  Momma not Tonk. Human says “Crusader Industries A2 Hercules Starlifter  Transport Gunship, SN-A2-824A-619R-HERC.4,” but to Tonk, she just Big  Momma. Big Momma home.  

Big Momma take Tonk to bad men. Big  Momma open. Tonk go out. Humans point Tonk at bad men. Big flash. Big  Boom. Tonk shake. Tonk make bad men go away. Big Momma also make bad men  go away. Big Momma loud. Tonk like Big Momma.

Bad men no like  Tonk. Bad men try to break Tonk. Bad men try to end Tonk. They wait  where Tonk not know. Tonk not like sneaky-sneak. 

Humans take Tonk for ride in city. Tonk protect humans. Turn corner. Go straight. Turn again. Tonk not been here bef—

BOOM! 

Sneaky bomb-in-ground break Tonk's tracks. Tonk cannot move. Bad men everywhere, surprise Tonk. Bad men have rockets. Tonk hit.

Bright  fire. Black smoke. Shouting. Tonk not see good. Bad men shouting.  Tonk's humans shouting. Tonk's humans hurt. Tonk not know what to do.  Tonk not want to fail.

Bad men getting closer. Have Tonk surrounded. Tonk scared. Tonk not want to end. 

Noise far away.

 ..........**..............**rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUMMMMMM**UUUUUMMMUUUUMMMMM**.

Tonk hear Big Momma engines. Bad men yelling.

**BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!**

Big Momma breathe fire. Big Momma loud. Bad men scared. 

**BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!**

Big Momma make ground shake. Then all quiet. Big Momma end bad men. Big Momma save Tonk. 

Big Momma love. Big Momma life. 

I, Tonk.
