Rather horrific in execution, but, you know, still good stuff :D<br /><br />g2 - good to see you again, and I'm super pleased to see you continue mine. I think you've nailed the appropriate response :)Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952331166517430843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-56507884902149532332017-02-04T18:48:13.571-08:002017-02-04T18:48:13.571-08:00More an indirect chain reaction, but today's c...More an indirect chain reaction, but today's contribution comes to you from the force of lurking stubborn spite that the narrator of your contribution roused:<br /><br />I don't wish to blame you—I do blame you, I blame you entirely. Because I practically killed myself trying to dissuade you, warn you, beat it into your thick skull how terribly this would end up.<br /><br />I was right—of course I was right—but despite ignoring me when it was convenient for your delusions you have the gall to shirk my blame and demand my coöperation in the same breath?<br /><br />You need me far more than I need you; all I need for revenge is to watch you face your disaster of a mistake and wither like I know you will.g2 (la pianista irlandesa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11746312007846172620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-50118521735708798442017-02-04T07:20:35.157-08:002017-02-04T07:20:35.157-08:00That's a lot of wakeful people and coughing! ...That's a lot of wakeful people and coughing! I hope it all clears up soon -- I think it's often worse when kids are young because they're still building up their immune system. As for the shooting... I've hired the assassin through Amazon's Mechanical Turk :)<br />I think your narrator is protesting too much. It definitely sounds to me like he deserves the blame :) I guess chain reactions can be hard to predict... but I'm still blaming him!<br /><br /><b>The chain reaction</b><br />The Royal Alchemist had been replaced (out of necessity) twice while purifying Caesium out of pollucite, but finally the third Royal Alchemist handed Prince Charming a necklace, coated in mineral oil, of the pale grey metal. Tiny chain links connected beautifully with one another, branching here and there into a sunburst; in the centre was a fragile jewel that had required another four Royal Alchemists to fill with Hydrogen gas.<br />When the Prince laid the necklace around his mother's neck for her 73rd birthday she smiled, thanked him effusively, and then looked slightly puzzled as the mineral oil trickled away and let the metal come into contact with her skin. The chain reaction lifted her head from her shoulders and sent it soaring higher than the highest tower of the castle, and the Prince was sure that she had retained consciousness long enough to see the whole of her Queendom from a bird's eye view, just as she'd always wanted.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.com
