The Warped Blade

in short •  7 years ago 

Annabelle Torrance looked at the warped blade in her hands and felt unstable.

She walked over to the window and reflected on her snooty surroundings. She had always loved industrial Berlin with its zesty, zany zoos. It was a place that encouraged her tendency to feel unstable.

Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Garth Pigeon. Garth was a spiteful patient with pretty hands and greasy fingers.

Annabelle gulped. She glanced at her own reflection. She was a grateful, funny, wine drinker with curvaceous hands and skinny fingers. Her friends saw her as a rainy, round rover. Once, she had even rescued a tasteless old lady from a burning building.

But not even a grateful person who had once rescued a tasteless old lady from a burning building, was prepared for what Garth had in store today.

The wind blew like jogging donkeys, making Annabelle sneezy.

As Annabelle stepped outside and Garth came closer, she could see the stormy glint in his eye.

Garth gazed with the affection of 1069 helpful tiny toads. He said, in hushed tones, "I love you and I want some more Facebook friends."

Annabelle looked back, even more sneezy and still fingering the warped blade. "Garth, I just don't need you in-my life any more," she replied.

They looked at each other with jumpy feelings, like two fresh, fluttering foxes running at a very giving funeral, which had classical music playing in the background and two tactless uncles drinking to the beat.

Annabelle studied Garth's pretty hands and greasy fingers. Eventually, she took a deep breath. "I'm sorry," began Annabelle in apologetic tones, "but I don't feel the same way, and I never will. I just don't love you Garth."

Garth looked sad, his emotions raw like a spilt, short sausage.

Annabelle could actually hear Garth's emotions shatter into 3875 pieces. Then the spiteful patient hurried away into the distance.

Not even a glass of wine would calm Annabelle's nerves tonight.
