These Brains are Making Me Thirsty (5-4-18)


[EU] As an unexpected twist to boost ratings, the zombie apocalypse breaks out on a TV sitcom (Friends, The Office, Parks & Rec, HIMYM, etc.) [Link to post.]

 "So? Did you break up with him?" Jerry sat on the edge of his blue sofa seat and listened to Elaine's story with great interest. Elaine finished her story with a dismissive wave and sat back on the bigger couch.

 "Nah, it's not much of a change. He just sits there." Elaine clenched her fists in front of her. "STARING. I told you about the flight from Europe, right?" Jerry nodded.

 "Yeah, the tomato pizza guy," Jerry said with a half smile.

 "Vegetable lasagna," Elaine replied curtly, then shrugged. "I'll kill him when he starts to stink." 

 "Obviously," Jerry agreed. The intercom by the door sounded; Jerry stood from the couch then walked to answer it. "Yeah?"

 "It's George." George's defeated voice came through the tinny speaker.

 "C'mon up," Jerry said, then unlocked the door. 

 "He sounds rough," Elaine said. "Maybe you shouldn't let him in?" Elaine stood from her seat on the couch and moved to the sofa seat, further away from the door. 

 "Nah, George would tell us." Jerry said just as George walked into the apartment. His head hung low. "How 'bout it, Georgie. You'd tell us if you got bit, right?" Jerry asked as he sat down on the blue couch.

 "Huh? Oh yeah, sure." George wandered into the kitchen, then looked up from the floor to stare at Jerry and Elaine from over the breakfast bar. "My parents were infected." He dropped the bomb, then followed it up after a pregnant pause. "I think they're faking it." 

 "What? No way." Elaine said, she scooted forward on her seat.

 "Why would they do that?" Jerry asked. 

 "Last night my ma said she wouldn't want me staying there if they became zombies. Then this morning," George raised his voice and used his arms to gesture angrily. " 'Lo and behold, they're zombies!" Kramer walked in during George's outburst.

 "Who's a zombie?" he asked. 

 "The Costanzas," Elaine said.

 "They're faking!" George was quick to clarify. Kramer smiled and shook his head.

 "Oh that Frank," Kramer walked over and clapped George on the shoulder. "He's wiley." George ignored him and turned his attention back to Jerry.

 "We eating?" George asked. 

 "Nope, I'm out." Kramer tossed a keyring onto the counter, then lifted his left hand up. The side opposite his thumb was covered by a big band-aid. "Newman got me." 

 "Newman!" Jerry clenched his fist and cursed under his breath. 

 "You get all my stuff, buddy." Kramer pointed at Jerry.

 "Sure." Jerry shrugged. "What are you gonna do? You want one of us to,... you know..." 

 "Nah, I'm gonna go live on a farm. You know, my friend Bob Sacamano? He's training zombies as farm workers." Kramer squatted partly and mimed as if he were placing something heavy on his shoulders. "I'm gonna pull a plow." Kramer smiled at them, waved good bye, then walked out of Jerry's apartment. 

 "Food?" Jerry asked. Elaine rose from the couch. 

 "How can I prove they're faking?" George wondered aloud as they walked out the door.

Lunch Jitters (6-23-18)

[WP] You are the greatest villain in the world. When you come face to face with your only rival, he says, “Do you want to grab a coffee before we start? I’ve haven’t eaten all day.” [ Link to post .] "I'm so glad you said something, I started late today too," The Shade said. He patted the heavy, dark leather coat over his stomach, then leaned closer to whisper at SunKnight. "Kayla's teeth are coming in, and Lucille's out of town for that thing." He shrugged, then pulled off his black, featureless hood. "I needed an extra 40 winks. Let's do a lunch, meet me at the pizzeria in 20." Keith Slinny, the man under The Shade's mask checked his watch. The rest of his black costume dissipated from his body; black smoke wafted from him like steam escaping a body in winter. "At this point, we'll end up putting it off until tomorrow so I need to book the babysitter now." "The wedding's tomorrow, remember? Let's take t...

Heckin' Opportunity (6-20-18)

[WP] You have a shoulder angel and a shoulder devil. This is somewhat unusual, but what makes it worse is that everyone else can see and talk to them. [ Link to post .] "I have an appointment with Mr. Johnston," Michael explained his presence to the short-haired secretary. He stood in front of her desk wearing his nicest suit, and his light brown hair combed as neatly as he could manage it.  "If you take a seat, he'll be right with you," she said as she pointed toward the row of colorful, plastic stiff back chairs on the other side of a small coffee table. Michael nodded, then sat in a red chair. He grabbed one of the dozens of Acting magazines spread on the coffee table. He mumbled to himself while he flipped through the magazine. "This is a bad idea," he said. Then he felt the familiar weight of a tiny angel on his right shoulder. Righty wasted no time in encouraging Michael. "That's just fear talking. This is a great opportunity, i...

Luck be a Lady (10-18-17)

You alone have the ability to give any "power" you wish to anybody any time... but you're also really petty and use it for revenge / personal amusement [ link to post ] “No, it’s fine, go ahead and cut me off you bastard. Obviously you’re more important than I am,” I whined at the green truck that suddenly decided it needed to be in front of me to catch a turn. I needed to pump the brakes a bit, but it was more annoying than dangerous. I breathed deeply, trying to calm down. For my wife’s sake I began taking anger management courses, and they seemed to be working. I calmed down and forgave the rude bastard. It felt good to forgive him, and I smiled to myself when I decided I wanted good things for that person. “Your safety is now a major priority for all policemen within a 10 mile radius of you,” I said aloud. I was alone in my car. Speaking helped me focus, though I did not need to say the words aloud. It was not long before red and blue flashing lights appe...
