The Story of Bartleby and Jergens - Part Five (WARNING: Really awful, unfunny jokes ahead!)

Chapter Five – Sissy and Sinful

WARNING: REALLY BAD HUMOR AWAITS YOU. ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE

----

“Okay… options… Gotta go over the options… Sure there may be two big freaking dogs in front of me…” Jergens’s mind was going all around in a blur. He decided to go over all the possible choices that he could make…

A. Scream bloody murder

B. Run like Hell

C. Continue with phase one and act as if the dogs don’t exist.

After carefully eliminating the various options he could take, Jergens decided to go with option ‘C’. It was his least favorite, but it was the only sure-fire way to go on with the plan.

Actually, the ‘plan’ really only had one phase. Jergens just thought that the idea of ‘phases’ sounded cool. No, the actual plan in order to land himself some employment was to seduce Bartleby. That was it, no strings attached. Ludicrous, yes, but it was the Jergens way. The Jergens way didn’t have to be sane. He stood up and walked out of the bushes, brushing stray leaves off of him.

The two dogs snapped their heads at him simultaneously, a vicious growl rumbling within them both. Jergens saw their black gums curl over their fearsome yellow fangs. Using every bit of composure to not piss himself in fear, he smiled rather suavely at Bartleby (or at least in his general direction, his eyes were completely locked onto the dogs).

Bartleby cocked an eyebrow at his new visitor when he came out of the foliage and eyed him suspiciously. A very light blonde lock of hair covered one of his eyes. “You again?” he muttered, almost in disgust before standing up and looking him over. “I’ll admit that it’s an improvement though…” he said, tapping his lip in mild thought as the two dogs sat on both sides of him, glaring at Jergens. Jergens himself, on the other hand, didn’t feel as thoughtful. With a very forced (but natural looking) grin, said, “Hey, what’s going on?” Hmm... a bit nonchalant, yes, but it would do.

The Story of Bartleby and Jergens - Part Four

Chapter Four – Ill and Indisposed

Never before had Jergens felt so clean and refreshed (as well as sexually assaulted). Irene had given him a gift of some of her husband’s old clothes. Sure, they literally almost fell off his skin and bones body, but they were clean. Several people that he walked past no longer glared at him, they just gave him odd, awkward glances. It was quite an improvement, really.

As he strolled down the mansion gates he passed by a rather lovely rose bush. Jergens, who was quite impulsive when it came to matters such as these, picked one without even slowing his pace. He glanced over and happened to notice one of the nearby forests’s deer walking along on the other side of the street. Ordinarily, Jergens would have stopped and inspected it, but for this town, visits from the deer seemed pretty normal, and he wanted to blend in.

When he reached the rock wall enveloping the estate’s garden he considered how he would meet Bartleby again and begin phase one of his plan. Hide in the garden? No… he didn’t quite like that, did he? It also made him seem more like a creepy stalker. Go through the front door? He considered this, going through the front door… asking for some employment like a normal person? For shame! That wasn’t the Jergens way, no sir! But it was either that or the garden stalking…

Of course he went with the garden stalking, who wouldn’t?

He climbed over the wall and dropped behind some bushes, only to stiffen himself and bite his lip in fear. Right across the garden path, less than twenty feet away from him, were two black guard dogs. One had the oddity of a white muzzle; the other had dirtied white paws. Both of them were looking at him in curiosity.

Jergens had been terrified of dogs ever since his birth. No, he had no traumatic event that gave birth to his phobia, he was just deathly afraid of them. Even the small, puffy varieties were scary to him!

The Cry of the Blue Doe

You can't win, you can't win...

Hooves heavily pounded against the unfamiliar ground. Her heart raced, her eyes burned.

You can't hide, you can't run from me...

"N-noooo!" The doe reared, thrusting her weight into the rushing shillouette. "Get away from me!"

I'll always find you, you can't run forever...

She hurled herself away from his haunting echo, the forest ahead was getting darker and darker, but the non-existent stag's shadow followed her.

"I won't let you! Not like my mother!" Tears swelled in her eyes as images flooded her head.

Your mother was worthless. A waste of my time...

Her legs were numb from the constant running.

But, you, my daughter, are priceless. Much more beautiful than your pathetic mother...

"Noo!" She screamed, her cries echoed though the night.

And I must have you... I must make you mine...

"NOOOO!!!!!"

June 10

Months and dates meant nothing to Cloud, seasons were his calendar. He remembered that it was around this time, when the days grew warmer and longer, a time known as summer that his younger brother was born. Sky would have been two by now, just a year younger than Cloud. He would have been excited at the prospect of having larger antlers, he would have been trying to take on every stag he came across. He would have been happy. In a perfect world, Sky would have been alive to celebrate growing a year older. But the world was not perfect.
Cloud carried the assortment of flowers that he had so carefully picked earlier to the birch forest. Sky had always loved the birch forests back at their old home range, he'd said they made him feel safe and comfortable. How ironic that such a place would also be where he would die.
Cloud stopped beneath a tree situated deep in the forest and laid the flowers down at it's base. His task done, he stepped back for a moment, reminiscing about what should have been, could have been, and how it was.
Why do I still linger? He wondered, Maybe I just can't let go.
Cloud raised his head skyward and forced a smile even though he was breaking on the inside. He would always smile for Sky, no matter what.
"Happy birthday, little brother."

He is hungry.

But it is pouring.
He can't stand it, terror, cold raining, and it is dark

What are some safe, free drawing programs?

I am looking for a anti virus drawing program that is advanced. Any ideas?

The Flower Diaries; Chapter four

The sun is brilliant today.
But he does not stray from the long grass, not until his stomach cries out for food, and he is forced, with uneasy steps, out into the wood of oak and pine, staying close as he can to the birch all the same.

' The Demon '

Haven't been on TEF in ages Shocked Well, I've been caught up with schoolwork etc.
I wrote this poem recently so it still needs adjusting a bit :S


The Demon

Once upon a stormy night, I sat in bed trembling with fright,
The rain beat down upon the window pane,
Thudding on the glass again and again
As if attempting to inflict so much pain.

Lightning flashed across the night sky,
Causing a nearby tree to burn and die,
The flames spreading along the withering branches,
Branches as sharp as Knight's lances,
The flames begin to move and spread,
Fearful, I shrink back into my bed,
Hoping that I will not soon be dead.

Shadows dance around outside,
Tormenting me with mocking eyes,
Tormenting me with shrill laughter,
Will I die of fright not soon after?
Then it stops ; the night is still,
Are monsters plotting the scare and kill?

Then starts a howling a mournful callm
A graveyard song for those that fall,
The ghosts arise so cold and lost,
Looking as if they are covered in frost.
Then starts a thudding at my door..
Maybe its not just ghosts after all?

With trembling hands towards the door I walk,
My voice barely a whisper as I begin to talk,
" P-please theres no-one home...
I beg of you to leave me alone "
The monster outside has not been fooled,
It roars in rage and claws the walls.

I open the door and there is standing,
A dreadful demon upon the landing,
With eyes as red as thick dark blood,
And four huge paws covered in mud.
It's teeth are as sharp as kitchen knives,
But it's claws are as large as Executioner's Scythes.

I stare in horror at the beast before me,
Hoping that it will ignore me,
At times like this I wish I had a stake..
Then suddenly the demon begins to shake,
It's then I realise my mistake.

I see clearly in the light of the dawn,
My cat that got stuck outside in the storm.
