Verry short writing prompts tumblr12/11/2023 ![]() I know some of my colleagues are not sufficiently familiar with concepts of ‘enough’ but, also, I was still in the biz long after they’d flamed out or died or been jailed because I do have limits, and lines I won’t cross.įor example, I don’t kill people, I try not to injure them more than bruises. If I keep doing it, I’m just being greedy, and the world has enough of that. I was poor and hungry and wanted enough money to not be poor and hungry again, alright? But I’m more or less set for life, especially if I’m careful, and I just don’t have any excuses anymore. My goals were more or less hit and, like, if I just keep doing this stuff for the hell of it… well, that crosses a line, right? Like, I wasn’t doing it to just be mean, I had a plan, and that’s… well, it’s done. ![]() I was kind of thinking of retiring, in all honesty.

Sure, she thrashed the shit out of that fucker with the tentacles, but he was planning some sort of gory sacrifice, fair’s fair. I know that.Īnd I got the sense that, for her, it was mostly for show as well. I want what I want but I don’t actually want to maim some idealistic coed over it. Like, sure, I’m a ‘villainess’ or whatever, but I’m not actually fuckin evil. No head blows, right? I also tried to avoid any joint injuries, because I suspected she was on a sports team. It’s hard to tell for sure through costumes and she wears a lot of padding and armor. A mask and costume can only disguise so much, right? But I thought, for sure, college age. One day, you decide to follow them, just to see where they go everyday.You’d known, intellectually, that your heroic nemesis was a teenager, but it didn’t really sink in until the day their school called because your number was the only one on their emergency contact list.
