Conversations in a Public Restroom

There is a river made of flame that traverses and connects all of space and time…

The skillful sometimes use this river as a means to transcend to the higher worlds…

And the reckless sometimes use it as a means of escape…

The last thing Simon remembered was a bright flash, then the sensation of being burned, frozen and turned inside out all at the same time, then nothing. When he came to, he was leaning over a public toilet, puking his guts out.

Simon stumbled out of the stall. “Good job, kid,” Blake said. “First time on the Phlegethon, huh?”

“Yeah…last time, too.” Simon washed his face at the sink, gargled tap water, and spat. “Did you see those cops? They looked crazy. I just knew I was gonna’ end up like Rodney King.”

Blake handed him a bunch of paper towels. “I think dead girl was on to something. I want to check with some of my contacts; try and corroborate her story. And we need to find out where she’s being held. If hell’s about to break loose, we’re going to need all the help we can get.”

    Excellent stuff. This is why I love ficlets… takes things in directions I wasn’t thinking of. So now they’re going to rescue Stephanie (aka Dead Girl)? I love it…

    And I think they should all have code names: Dead Girl, Cranky Man and Obscuro Lad.

    First they need to find out if she’s telling the truth, I think. And I’m pretty sure that rescuing her is not at the top of Simon’s to do list…

    Oh, she’s telling the truth. Why would Dead Girl lie? I mean, c’mon, this is Dead Girl we’re talking about… :)

    But I agree; rescuing her is probably not high on Simon’s to do list. Possibly shortly after “re-write ending of Doctor Who Season 3 on FanFic website.” (unless, you know, he’s already done that)

    Hey Saint Chuck. The beginning of this serial can be found here: http://ficlets.com/stories/11737

    But this is technically a sequel to the serial that can be found here: http://ficlets.com/stories/10848

    And both Blake and Simon, seperately, have varied Ficlet tales all over the place.

    How is it that I find myself unnaturally drawn towards the series with the names Blake and Simon in them? Some twist of hypnotic magic? Some demented version of dark doom? Some more geeky questions, perhaps?
