Writer's Block

where my strange imagination roams free...

Seven - Though Oblivion May Claim Me

, ,

The owner of the teeth enters the cave a moment later, and i...recognize them. It's one of the vagrants they...we...experimented on, one of the few that survived the earliest tests - now turned got something monstrous. More memories explode into my mind, and reluctantly i push them back...for now. Better to deal with the threat first - he looks mad, in every sense of the word. I strain for one particular memory, and find it.
"Pete!"
He stops his slow advance, and looks at me quizzically. The huge mis-shapen jaw opens a little, and something struggles out.
"Pe-te? I-i-i'm Pete. Who you?"
As his only memory of me would have been when i helped strap him to the operating table, it's perhaps best not to answer truthfully.
"The name's Bobby - but you won't remember me. I saw them take you, before you were like this. They got me too, later."
He's still looking at me suspiciously. Suddenly he gives a loud sniff, and glares at me.
"You smell of THEM."
Them? That's not a good thing to smell of when trapped in a cave with a madman.
"Them? Er..."
"All guns and smoke and blood and rage...another one sent to find me. Another one sent to die."
This really isn't going right, and...is he salivating? Time to get out of here, somehow.
I back into the cave a little way, and pick up a large bone. He laughs and leaps towards me, arms outstretched. Taking advantage of my small size, i dive under his legs and jab upwards with the bone. He howls, and i run hurriedly out of the cave as he collapses. Not for long...i hear his feet pounding behind me, gaining ground by the second. I look back and he's only a dozen feet away. There's a cliff nearby...maybe i can trick him...if i can reach it. Just a little further...
And there it is. I run full pelt towards the edge, him close behind, then suddenly slam on the brakes and duck down. He falls over me, and the momentum carries him over the edge screaming.
Sadly the impact takes me over too. It's a long way down...far too much time to think.

The more I read, the hungrier I get for more :wait: :insane: !

Sorry for the large gap between this and Six - been a bit too tired the last couple of weeks, or too distracted. Lots of running for the train on hot mornings :ko:

I dunno if it's the style or just the serial format, but I'm imagining this all in black and white with reused cardboard sets from the old Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers serials.

Spaggyj 28. July 2008, 00:47

No, I rather like the wait. It keeps the suspense going, and teaches me a little patience at the same time.

...that was thrilling...u most be a writer.I LOVE DAT!!!

@Mik : I've never actually seen even a second of either of those. The only Flash Gordon I know is because of the film. But I won't say how I imagine it all yet :D

@Kimmie : I'm not fond of the wait - I'm a bit annoyed this was three weeks after the last one p:.

@Zizi : Yes, I'm a writer. Or at least learning to be :D. This is called Writer's Block, after all.

*spits out a piece of finger nail* :insane:

I don't mind waiting either, unless it's too long, of course. Seven was a little overdue...
And I love this format :yes:

theoddbod 28. July 2008, 20:26

*ducks as fingernail flies overhead* :eyes:

I quite like this format too :D

*Picks up fingernail, eats it. Gnaws at my own fingernails...*
  Very, very good, Mart! :up:

:yuck:

Thanks! :D

You know, one of these days I'm probably going to try my best to give my readers nightmares :devil:

Cois 29. July 2008, 00:27

That's a cliffhanger if I ever knew one.. p: is this the end? Impossible.. Tune in next week for another enthralling episode of Armoured Spacebunnies in the Blue Nebulla.. :rolleyes:

theoddbod 29. July 2008, 06:32

:rolleyes:

Furie 29. July 2008, 14:15

You're gonna tell a story about Cess? p:

H82typ 29. July 2008, 15:04
