On My Way, Sire

Hey, butler with the soup.
Get over here with that
delicious dish!

You are fortunate
that I'm in a
good mood
today.

I had a
delightful dream
last night, you see.

I was not merely
but a swan,
I was a swan
dancing dangerously
on a frozen lake!

It was truly
a poetic
thrill!

That doesn't give you any leeway
to trudge
over here,
like a...

Oh what's that word...

Oh you know--a big clumsy slow-witted person!?

An OAF!

YES,
that's what I was trying to think of!
OAF!

Now stop trudging
like an oaf, and
dash diligently
over here with that
soup!

Yes,
I am aware of the distance of my
awfully
long table...
I get it.

But you HAVE to admit
that you're
TRUDGING!

Look,
I'm not a
bad baron!

Am I right?

I treat ALL
of my servants
with
due dignity
and respect.

Am I right?

Oh I KNOW
I'm right!
What am I saying!

Of course
I'm right!

Now
don't delay
get over here
with that
soup
you
dingy dog!

The sent of smoldering gunpowder stung her nostrils as Beth stood stunned. She had not even a millisecond of time to gain her thoughts during this whole debacle. But, now... now that her brother lied dead, blood racing to cover the linoleum on her kitchen floor, did she have time to think.

There was not much to think about, it was pretty cut and dry: she's been on edge lately. Her ex boyfriend is a little crazy and has been threatening her. Buying a gun was the smart thing to do. She took some operational and safety classes on using it. It was for her protection.
Thinking much about other things

Yet I work hard

May not be the thing I love

But it pays me

Keep my nose to the grind

I like only the money

The unknown stain bugged the crap out of Ted. When wearing the shirt, it might as well be a stain on his brain. Helpless he felt.

Take a Left

If you do it
you'll be fine.
Take a left
my friend.
Take a left at that
corridor.
That's where you want
to go.
If you need
I'll make perfect sense.
Perfect.
If that"s what you need?
No problem, dummy: a stupid person.
Take that left,
you'll be on your way.
Everything will be all good
that way.
Everything.
Just take that left.
