"Now what are we going to do?", he choked, "Dammit Grumble! Can't you do anything right? You let Muffy get away,you.... Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahahahah!"
"Oh yeah, and you never make any mistakes, do you? You summamabitsh, Spider, I did what you told me to do and say" retorted Grumble, "Well take a look behind you, that damned mini-sword of yours didn't work!"
Rear was lurching forward, trying to staunch the blood with his engineer's hat. He looked up just in time to see the rear end of the car as it hit him, and he felt himself flying, tumbling, to the sound of breaking limbs as he hit the oak tree. "Tarnation!", he thought" Where did Muffy get to?", as he felt the blackness take him.
Precious screamed in horror and then delight, as she leapt from the car, having calculated the exact second at which to make her exit. The math had been simple enough to do in her head, and in that instant she grasped the enormity of the Theory of Everyone And Everything Is Connected.
The car tires screamed agonizingly as Spider accelerated, pushing the pedal to the mettle. Precious watched as the car disappeared, and then turned towards Rear. He was groaning and moaning, hanging by his suspenders from the tree.
"Let me help you", said Precious solicitously, "I know EVERYTHING now. Just let me undo your suspenders, that's right, lean on me, let me take your weight."
"You see, it's all very clear to me now", she said as she undid the buttons, "One of those two men in that car doesn't like you, but that's no reason to hurt you. Just let go of my hair, that's right, and I'll soon have you comfortable."
"Muffy...Muffy.." groaned Rear, drool escaping from his lips, "Where's Muffy...?", grasping Precious so tightly it hurt them both. The pain seared his every nerve ending, and he fell from her arms, his eyes rolling as he passed out again.
Precious looked at Rear, wondering how she could fit him into the Theory Of Everyone And Everything Is Connected.
"First thing I have to do", she said to herself, "Is to come up with a really catchy name, something with a really good acronym that people can remember"
Stepping over the still twitching body of Rear, she wondered if she could come up with a REALLY GOOD acronym, and then she stopped and said...... |
