1000 Pt. Bronus?

I wonder what it would be like to be in a fight that came to fists.

I prepare for it in my mind every day.

I make time for it.

But I've always managed to prevent it from coming to fists.

Though I'm grateful to be skilled in this way, I think it's important to get to know pain. To understand it, and practice enduring it and applying it.

It reminds me how much worse things can get.

And consequently, how much better they can be.

unscene, unsound

[Shooting over Casey’s shoulder] Casey turns the key in the door-lock and casually goes down the hallway toward the living room. As he turns the corner, we see an old lady unpainfully tied up against the radiator. She is blindfolded.

After a looong pause, the unhurt, but scared lady whispers:

-‘That you, Jonny?

A bit startled, having just cracked a beer, Casey leans forward:

-'That you, mum?

Coolly, the lady tells her son that she is being held hostage in their home; and that he should get out immediately, before the prowler returns. Then:

-GO NOW!

NOW! NOW! NOW! She shrieks, to get him on his feet.

Casey, leaves because he is a Gemini, and prefers escape to conflict.

He quickly and quietly waves his hands around in front of him, as though he can’t see, because he is blind. He picks up his seeing eye dog, or cane, or whatever, and unwillingly leaves.

On his way out:

-Geez, I go out to get the mail for a minute, and.. [trails off]

-He went out to get the mail for a minute, and forgot to bring it in! she says thoroughly to the man coming to her from behind the camera [the viewer].

-Tighten the phone wire, dear.

she says plainly.

-I want you to really hurt me now.

A set of hands [the viewer’s own hands] comes into the shot and begins a slow clap. The lady gets up, clearly not tied to radiator at all, takes off her blindfold, smiling, and breathing hard, like she just finished a musical dance number. She takes a bow.

Casey stumbles through the door, not being able to see, since is really blind, and tries to hand his mother an award.

Long pause for applause.

She pinches his ear suddenly, and meanly. She ‘yells’ into his ear:

-HOW MANY MORE TIMES ARE YOU GONNA FUCK THIS UP!?

Casey suffers her glare for a solid few seconds, then she suddenly looks square at the camera and yells:

-AND HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO LET ME DO THIS TO HIM?!

She quickly drops her camera-stare and recovers her composure again. She says:

-Now, let’s do it from the TOP!

Camera pans back and the 2 actors assume their original places to begin the sketch again.

howled be thy name

I had just torn out the throat of a beast and was enjoying a smoke, when my downstairs neighbours came outside.
"It's us crazy animal people," the fresh-showered one said, followed on her way up the street by a pair of dogs and a single cat... now two.
"I love the crazy animal people!" I remarked with a toothy mouth.
They could never know I was a werewolf.

It's in his kiss- that's where it is.
