After defeating the Supermarket Inflation Giant, Tunde believed he had finally earned rest.
But rest is a rumour in the UK.
Because deep inside every GP surgery, behind every “Please hold” message, and inside every fully booked calendar lived a mysterious, ghostly being:
The NHS Appointment Spirit.
This spirit controlled waiting times, GP availability, and the emotional stability of every immigrant trying to see a doctor.
And today… he wanted Tunde.
Chapter 1: The Impossible Phone Call
One morning, Tunde woke up with a sore throat.
Nothing serious. Just small discomfort.
He called his GP.
A robotic voice said:
“Your call is important to us. Estimated wait time: 1 hour 47 minutes.”
Tunde aged spiritually.
When the receptionist finally answered, she said:
“All appointments are fully booked. Try again tomorrow at 8am.”
Tunde whispered, “This country is wicked.”
Chapter 2: The Spirit Appears
That night, as Tunde slept, a cold breeze swept through his room.
His phone vibrated. His NHS app glowed. His thermometer started laughing.
Suddenly, a ghostly figure floated above his bed — wearing a hospital gown and holding a clipboard.
“I am the NHS Appointment Spirit,” it whispered. “Keeper of Delays. Guardian of Fully Booked Calendars.”
Tunde trembled.
“I just need a simple appointment.”
The spirit laughed.
“Impossible.”
Chapter 3: The Next Available Date
The spirit waved its hand.
A glowing calendar appeared.
The next available appointment was:
“April 2026.”
Tunde fainted.
When he woke up, the magical bus was beside him.
“My guy,” the bus said gently, “Even I cannot outrun NHS waiting times.”
Chapter 4: The Pub Wizard’s Healing Strategy
Tunde ran to The Drunken Unicorn.
“Sir Nigel, the Appointment Spirit wants to finish me!”
The Pub Wizard nodded.
“He is the most elusive creature in the kingdom. Even the DVLA Time Lord respects him.”
Tunde trembled.
“What do I do?”
The wizard handed him three magical items:
The Paracetamol of Destiny
The Hot Water Bottle of Courage
The Walk-In Centre Map of Hope
“Use these wisely,” the wizard said. “Or you will never see a doctor again.”
Chapter 5: The Battle of the Walk-In Centre
Tunde arrived at the walk-in centre at 6am.
The queue was already long enough to reach Scotland.
The Appointment Spirit appeared.
“You dare challenge me?” it hissed.
Tunde raised the Paracetamol of Destiny.
The spirit shrieked.
“No! Not self-treatment!”
He lifted the Hot Water Bottle of Courage.
The spirit weakened.
Finally, Tunde held up the Walk-In Centre Map.
The spirit screamed.
“Stop! Stop! You’re too resourceful!”
It vanished into a puff of NHS leaflets.
Tunde had won.
Chapter 6: The Appointment of Victory
Hours later, Tunde finally saw a doctor.
The doctor smiled and said:
“It’s just a mild cold. Drink water.”
Tunde stared at him.
“After all this?”
But he was grateful.
He had defeated the NHS Appointment Spirit.
He became known as:
Tunde the Patient. Tunde the Healed. Tunde, Conqueror of NHS Waiting Times.
But the kingdom whispered of one final threat…
A creature more powerful than all the others combined.
A creature known only as…
THE VISA RENEWAL DRAGON.
To be continued — and concluded.
