Short Story - Hundred DollarsLex Gyrie inspected his reflection in the bathroom mirror. Looked like he had some work to do. He tousled his wet hair, letting the dark locks settle messily upon his forehead like the rock stars' latest haircuts. He wiped the condensation off the mirror with a towel to put in his contact lenses. He believed "guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses" also worked in reverse. Girls always seemed to like guys with perfect vision and blue eyes, but he figured his weird, dark green wasn't that bad.

He unwrapped the towel around his waist and pulled on his boxers and jeans, both purcha

WaP - 71. Obsessionby *fictograph

Traditional Art / Drawings / Illustration / Storybook

The body had to be disposed of. Sorian ran his hands along the axe handle. There was only one thing you could do to get rid of a corpse in the frigid north. Burn it. But before anything could be burnt, it had to be moved somewhere you could start a fire. He positioned his axe over its shoulder and removed its arm.

Vendelain watched, shaking his head. “Don’t you think this is a little extreme?”

“This is practical. If we do not relocate the body, then it will freeze over. Segmenting it is merely the most efficient means of transport.” Sorian dropped the ax down onto the dead man’s hip, severing the corpse’s thigh. One day, he hoped there would be a very different black-blood under his blade, preferably one who grew feathers. He leveled his axe at the body’s throat.

“I worry for you, sire.” Vendelain sighed. “This is growing into an obsession.”

“I would not classify my actions as ‘obsession,’ Vendelain. I simply accomplish the goals that I set.” Sorian raised the axe above his head and let it drop. The loosened head rolled sideways. He picked it up by the hair, letting the black blood drain onto the snow.

“Nonetheless, I still care, and I still worry.”

Ha! Sadists don’t listen to voices of reason! It's anyone's guess who the body is.

Not sure which is scarier- the blatant sadistic psychopaths or the ones who are just good at hiding their sadism. 8I and Vendelain sure puts up a lot with Sorian's actions.

*fictograph Nov 7, 2012 Professional Filmographer

Haha, beats me, but I think Sorian is the latter.

Vendelain - saving the cat. Oh yeah~

I am bothered by the fact that Sorian is rather handsome here, because he is a very creepy icky guy and he is dismembering a corpse. But, I am glad he doesn't turn on Vendelain for, I dunno, speaking frankly or something. And I like how bothered Vendelain looks.

Hahaha. Goal accomplished: make you like the villain.

~haius Nov 6, 2012

Well..... no. I HATE Sorian, I really do. But, I admit he isn't ugly.

*fictograph Nov 7, 2012 Professional Filmographer

But oh do you love to hate him ;D

~haius Nov 7, 2012

HE'S AN AWFUL PERSON. I bet he ends up living happily ever after, though, while all the good guys die or are miserable. That's how these things always seem to turn out.
