As he often saw her do, she was cutting leaves off tomato plants to allow the sun to reach inside and ripen the fruit... it reminded him of so many souvenirs; as he often at home sat under a shadowed porch, watching her do exactly the same as now. Gardening was her only hobby, the only time she felt good, surrounded by silent life, when no kid nor husband was around to take up her attention. He loved to see her that way. It had always brought him joy. And so it was that way too. Tears welled to his eyes. She was smiling, beautiful in her peaceful activity.
A tall man pushing a wheelbarrow filled with vegetal debris moved towards her. Seeing him she picked up the cut leaves, rose up and put them on top of the pile. She turned to the man enlaced him and gave him a tiny kiss. That was when Leterrible understood that his wife was never to be his anymore, that she was someone else now, a person in love; happy. He silently wished her well, tears running down his cheeks and turned away from her for a last time...

(...)
It wasn’t important to Leterrible anymore. “Pff!” he thought. “Inconsequent.”
The pain was ebbing away. His sight gave way to the image of his wife in the garden... His heart smiled... And he was terrible no more...

a) You are an awesome writer
b) You made me cry!
c) Did mom read all this? She absolutely has to!

yvanleterrible · 02-08-2010, 10:52 PM

I cried writing it...

She is not interested in MR and my ramblings are not important...

Maybe if I wrote something major!

Now it's just practice.

No.

I will not have it.

It will not be so.

It must not be so.

IT IS NOT PERMITTED!

That is all.

Cheers,
m(onkey on my back)

Is he dead? He'd better not be, because he has a fairly significant part in an upcoming scene.

<<grumbles and starts re-writes...>>

badgoodDeb · 02-09-2010, 01:36 PM

Um. Oh dear!!

Pshrynk -- you can always call Montsnmags & Adrian, and have them un-dead him. Somehow. I'm sure it's one of the items on their menu.

Patricia · 02-09-2010, 05:50 PM

I want to see Yvan resurrected promptly. And with a working hand (bionic, if necessary). And I want it soon, please.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 02-09-2010, 05:55 PM

Noooo! (I made the mistake of reading it at work, and was sat at my desk trying to hide that I was sniffling slightly!

(Still, didn't an earlier episode hint that Yvan has to see Zelda a few more times? *clinging to hope*)

pshrynk · 02-09-2010, 06:01 PM

Adrian was sitting at his "desk", playing with his executive toys when the door burst open and a very peeved pshrynk came flouncing through.

"What the Hell? One of the main characters dies after visiting that little island of yours? Who's going to *garbled transmission* I'd like to know?"

Adrian quickly picked up the script and thumbed through it. "Eek?"

"No, the socks are on the other side of the room *garbled transmission* and couldn't possibly do it. And before you ask, the Pilot can't do it, either, since he's passed out."

"Ook?"

"Oh, that would make a lot of sense! Hilda *garbled transmission* when it was her that *missing treanscription*, now wouldn't it?"

"Oook!"

"You'll be busy trying to pull the head off *garbled and missing phrases*. No can do."

"Eek."

"I was hoping you'd see it my way. Nice rower toy, by the way."

"Ook."

In an alleyway behind the casino, there was a sharp Bzzt-Pop! and the smell of ozone. A body materialized in thin air four feet off the ground and fell with a thump.

LeTerrible sat up and said, "Oy!"

The squid reached out and patted him absently on the head.

badgoodDeb · 02-09-2010, 06:13 PM

See??! I knew you could get it fixed, if ya wished hard enough.

I like that squid. Reminds me of my mother.

4 inches okay but 4 feet that would mean broken bones fer the ol' coot? A little more than "Oy!" He'd say: "!@#$%^&*()&^%$#@#$%^. ???"

Give the poor man a break. He's just died and popped back into existence and thus probably had all the uppercase numbers scared out of him. "Oy!" is a pretty reasonable response after that.

It may be but "oy" is obviously an understatement. Believe me I should know...
