Inconceivable!

by Stovohobo

“33089 has escaped,” a heavy Russian growled.

The Warden scowled. “How?” he nearly whispered.

“We really…don’t know,” replied the man, actually experiencing slight fear for the first time. When the Warden was mad, you got out of the way, no matter how many heavyweight titles you won wrestling. “He started running, and somehow…we couldn’t land a shot on him. He stayed out of the lights most of the—”

“Shut up! I don’t need your bull! Just get me that vampire!” the Warden snarled. Then he started muttering. “Inconceivable!”

The Russian had the idiotic thought that the Warden sounded like the guy on The Princess Bride, and then dropped it quickly.

“What are your orders?” he said, snapping into a sharp salute.

The Warden looked up as if realizing the man was in the room for the first time. “Go after it, of course! Take all your boats, all your men, all your big guns—and go after it. I don’t care if its fangs are gone or whatever, you’re finding that thing and killing it!”

    Fezzik always was one to use words he didn’t know. Arrogant mother-. But i still love Princess Bride. Movie, not book. Only book i ever hated and loved when they made a movie. The book was just so….. monotonous. Quite unlike this which i love

    Sophia-Fezzik was the giant. I believe the Sicilian hunchback’s name referred to in this is Vizzini.

    All right, I think I’m gonna make a petition to ban the strikethrough rule. Nobody ever uses it intentionally, and you can never use the emdash correctly in ficlets. Grr.
