Nine Swords

Oh I know you Chuck. I got surveillance video. And if I don’t got video, I got Purchase Portraits™ of you going back years. The all-seeing eye of credit.

The sensible shoes, the sleeping pills, the Marvel™ Elektra Assassin comic. You are what you buy Chuck. Don’t try to tell me that puce jacket with shoulder pads was a gift.

Hold your horses, lookee here Chuck. A whole 2 years, 3 months, 20 days, 7 minutes and 4 seconds of nothing. Zip. Nada, Chuck. A massive black hole in your purse. What’s going on?

WHERE WERE YOU CHUCK?

How about some more to choose from:

* office
* Java
* orange

She hacks the security door and rushes through towards her objective. She becomes aware she is in a climate controlled storage facility filled with thousands of film canisters. The labels include JFK, the Loch Ness Monster, Martin Luther King, the moon landings, fluoridation … you name it. Are these movies with evidence of the actual truth? Or are these faked backup versions in case the real truth ever comes out? Shape the past and alter current reality at 30 frames a second. Her head spins with the implications, but she has to press on. Sprinting into the real/fake sunset.

As she got electrocuted again, she wished, along with all her new abilities, that she had also received a much, much better memory.

Hahaha. Excellent!

I'm crying, that was great!

“Well done, you all knew that the sum of the prime numbers from 1 to 100 is 1060” the instructor of ‘Useful Knowledge for Puzzling Situations’ beamed at the new Templar recruits. Mellified had first met Floryn here, and they had hit it off from the start.

“However, Java is not an island in “Coffee Land” and an Arctic Fox is not “a sexyyyyy Laideeeee from up North” Floryn and Mellified.”

It was the air quotes that did it. She glanced at Floryn and they both collapsed into gales of laughter.

Kitchen washing up had never been so worth it.

You're insatiable Mell! Putting us all to shame. I barely have the time to even read yours, let alone catch up in writing ;p
