Calm down. I know you're a bit surprised I've - ahem - impressed my will upon you so that you are here in hell with me. I'm not detaining you for long. Some of you will be returning on a more permanent basis anyway so get familiar with the surroundings. And yes, I love the flames and fire. Brimstone, not so much.
You should know that what my Harvestor and his lady love are doing is wrong.
Dead wrong.
Neither Cleansers or Harvestors are supposed to love. Makes for bad soul collecting business. My soul devouring suffers. I get angry and do things. You guys suffer, as the several people who died in that apartment fire found out.
Plus, a Cleanser and a Harvestor - ugh, I can't even say that word. Sharing in that ridiculous "L" emotion is akin to xenogamy. Then they'll cross pollinate with each other making little Cleanser-Harvestor offspring that I probably won't have free access to. So you see, me breaking them apart and devouring Abby's soul is good for everyone. You get that right?
Well, I'll take your wide-eyed stare as a sign of understanding. You are dismissed****
I think Drakar just tried to rationalize what he is doing. Unbelievable!!!!

I tell you what. Being home again is messing with my ability to keep track
of days. It just dawned on me that this is Wednesday and I should have a
post up...

Love the addition of humor - and narrator's thoughts/summary at the end of each installment. Two more letters...!!??
ReplyDeleteTrue...nearing the end for the challenge, but not for Abby and Basil's story.
DeleteAngela, you rock,
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I definitely do not want even want to think about being in that place on anything near a permanent basis. :)
Thanks, J.L. And NO, neither do I. I can think of lots of places I'd rather be on a permanent bases and in the pits of hell does not make the list.
DeleteUm, it's really difficult having come into Abby and Basil's story as late as I did. I obviously need to go back to the beginning and catch up.
ReplyDeleteI've left an award for you on my blog. Please stop by when you have a chance.
Thank you for the award. Will stop on over :-)
DeleteTo make catching up on Abby and Basil's story a little easy, I've added a page at the top so you can click it. All the post links gathered in one spot so you can go one by one at your leisure.
He sounds very cold and clinical. Wouldn't want him coming after me!
ReplyDeleteThrow in a maggot or the scent of death and you have Drakar.
DeleteNot buying it dude!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Alex. All he has are lame excuses.
DeleteI'm with Alex...Not buying it dude. But I gotta say I love the addition of humor Angela. Big Bad's with a sense of humor, the more off color the better, just make my reader heart hum :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Raelyn. As bad as Drakar is, it was interesting to put this post together showing something slightly different...though he's still just a bad dude.
DeleteQuite full of himself. Love the thought of little "Cleanser-Harvestor offspring". I say, hands off to him!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I wonder what it would be like to have some powers from heaven and some powers from hell wrapped up in a little innocent thing?
Deletelove the new look! and the sassy scene!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tara. Drakar is a mess. The new blog look is growing on me.
DeleteCross pollinate :) That made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Drakar can work out some ridiculous thoughts.
DeleteI am most impressed by how you wove an "X" word into today's post. Not so impressed by how truly evil Drakar is. I hope he gets what's coming to him.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. Drakar thinks he has this whole thing wrapped up with the smug way he tried to rationalize his actions, but we'll see how things go for him in NEVERLOVE.
DeleteThat Drakar - can't leave him alone for a minute! Now I have to go look up xenogamy, which is maybe related to monogamy, but maybe not :)
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Xenogamy refers to cross-pollinating in the plant world but Drakar sees humans as little more than a salad buffet of souls so he used it regarding Harvestors and Cleansers.
DeleteI can understand his repulsion. lol Great excerpt and very creative use of X.
ReplyDeleteThank you, M Pax.
DeleteAnd he almost had me convinced! :) Loved it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like he wants to find love.
ReplyDeleteI just love the voice. And I think Clarissa may have a point...
ReplyDeleteI kind of like him. He's quirky and rude. lol
ReplyDeleteOh, this looks like something I will have to take the time to read--after just two more letters. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I love it. I'm almost convinced too!
ReplyDeleteI'm not buying his line . . . but he certainly has the whole "justification" thing down pat.
ReplyDeleteJustification seems to be his great gift! But sometimes justification is just lying to ourselves! Thanks for visiting my post today, Roland
ReplyDeleteTypical. Trying to make out he's rational. Loved the bit about cross pollination.
ReplyDeleteOh, no he didn't! No fair using wit to distract us from hating you, Drakar.
