For The Love

[C James]

Right...

I'm not the guy who has a person or persons stalking around the exterior of one of my Characters apartments. Seriously For the Love is making me long for the days of bad grammer and copious amounts of uncensored scene's. I love it!

 

Bad grammar and copious amounts of uncensored scenes?

 

But, those person or persons are no longer stalking around the outside of chris' apartment (so you can't blame me there!). They decided to come in, though we don't know quite why yet.

 

I will raise a possibility!

Overly pushy door-to-door salesmen?

 

It'll be up same place, same time next week. But if you guys take the positions I so nicely offered, one of the fringe benefits is that CJames will be able to tell you the story in advance. Gets you to thinking, doesn't it? (Well, this and the prospect of wine and cheese)

 

Ack!! But, with Frosty about, Wouldn't that be Cheese and whine?

 

And I find it distrubing with the overpromoting of guns in the story. CJ never really takes into consideration I'm a liberal who believes in strict gun control.

 

I believe in proper gun control: Always use BOTH hands.

 

And what over-promoting? So far, only Betty has been a little enthusiastic (With her "armed queers" remark) on the gun issue.

And Eric (have we fogotten that twirp?) is video-taping the entire event.

 

He looks at the chaos and wreakage and yells, "For The Love...of...Shawn and Case, I said 'stop' not 'top'. That was next scene."

 

I know, it's weak. But this ending is the best I can come up with early in the morning.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!

 

I was thinking of another line of dialog for on their way to fiery doom on the canyon floor: "I know I said I like going down, but this isn't quite what I meant... "

Overly pushy door-to-door salesmen?

Mormons or Jehovah witnesses maybe? An Avon Lad? Do they have people who sell Amway products door-to-door?

Ack!! But, with Frosty about, Wouldn't that be Cheese and whine?

I bow to someone who makes fun of he who mocked my manhood, and now makes fun of my poor mother.

I'm not sure I like this canyon theory. Gays in fiction always died until very recently (well, in movies at least), so if we could have heroes riding towards the setting sun (no matter what or whom they ride... )

Okay, how about this?

 

I turned back to the front. Watching the sheriff and Thaddeus leaning out of the windows of the pursuing vehicle, firing at us was not my idea of fun.

 

"LOOK OUT!"

 

My scream was too late. Steve had been watching the mirror instead of paying attention to where he was driving. Driving into the setting sun to make it difficult for the pursuers to shoot at us was a two-edged idea -- we also had trouble seeing ahead and Steve didn't realise that the bridge was out. We went sailing over edge.

 

I closed my eyes as I reached out to hold Steve's hand. I didn't want things to end this way. The thud and jolt as we came to a halt made my head slam into the dashboard.

 

I looked up to see that we were perched precariously on a small ledge. While I watched, the following cars followed us off the bridge, but they missed the ledge and crashed to the bottom of the gorge below. The following fireball indicated that there would be no survivors.

 

Steve took off his shirt and wiped my nose. "You don't look good with blood running down your face."

 

"I think blood is the least of our problems. How do we get out of this?"

 

Steve shrugged. "We wait to be rescued. Dad knows roughly were we were heading. Just don't move too or the Charger may end up slipping off the ledge."

 

He dropped the shirt and then slipped his hand down to the top of my shorts.

 

"Hey, I though you said we shouldn't move!"

 

He grinned. "Let's live dangerously...."

I bow to someone who makes fun of he who mocked my manhood, and now makes fun of my poor mother.

He is not even close making fun of me. I have a PhD in teasing. My boyfriend can surely back me up.

[shadowgod]

Looks good Greame... I nominate you to take over the lead author position...

 

Only one problem though,

 

Steve's shirt would have already been off.

 

[Graeme]

Only one problem though,

 

Steve's shirt would have already been off.

 

Yeah, you're right. That's why I use beta-readers... Are you in position to beta-read "For The Love..." for me? It looks like you'd do a great job.

[shadowgod]

Yeah, you're right. That's why I use beta-readers... Are you in position to beta-read "For The Love..." for me? It looks like you'd do a great job.

 

shhh... its supposed to be anonymous!!

 

[C James]

He's calling for backup already? Wow, that was just too easy...

ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm being replaced? Emoe, heeeelp!

Yeah, you're right. That's why I use beta-readers... Are you in position to beta-read "For The Love..." for me? It looks like you'd do a great job.

Noo! Oh no, Its a revolution! I'm being replaced!

But, but, but, Echidna, you really wouldn't do this to a quit and shy lurker like me, now would you?

shhh... its supposed to be anonymous!!

And even my anonymous beta reader is in on the act!

 

Whatever will I do?

 

Help?

[shadowgod]

you could, say... hide in that big cauldron shaped Jacuzzi

[C James]

you could, say... hide in that big cauldron shaped Jacuzzi

 

ACK!!!!!!!! Oh no, first, I'm deposed as author, and now they are trying to cook me!

 

Emoe!!! Heeeeelp!

 

Time to gather the herd! The battle lines are drawn!

:pickaxe: :mace: :fire: :chris: :axeman: :sword: :ranger: :2hands:

[Conner]

I just caught up with the story and 2 weeks of posts. We're talking feature length film here.

 

That's a great ending, Grame! The ending I would suggest is a pool party...make that a naked pool party!

 

Eric is a minor and should be accorded greater compassion and understanding. Hate the game; not the player. He's been raised in a capitalistic system and is entitled to make some mistakes. I mean, everyone knows sex sells! He should be assigned to a group home specializing in working with young enterpreneurs who have gone slightly astray. :wacko:

 

The next time I use a bookstore in the US, I'll be looking under the counter for a Chinese version of the AK 47. I'll pay cash and leave a large tip. "armed queers" I liked that!

 

Seeing that I'm one of those goats that shouldn't be allowed to own a computer, Dex's language is complicated enough as it is. He's cool, though. I like his character.

 

I'll bet the red-haired dude and his associates, who made their entrance in the closing lines of that last chapter, are only there to invite Chris and Steve (or maybe Chase and Shawn) to a pool party.

 

Conner

 

P.S. There'll be no more talk of roasting goat flesh in this thread. I happen to know a moderator who'll be happy to enforce this requirement. Anyone looking for a 3-day vacation from GA?

Conner! Welcome Back

 

Your starting to sound alot like CJ with the whole eric spiel.

 

Yes he may have been industrious, but isnt there a stash of porn he should be messing around with and not brodcasting his brothers love life via the net? And this talk of group homes, just makes me wonder if Eric will recruit the lot of them and call them "models"

 

and ok no more goat jokes, I'll leave that for more appropriate threads...

[Graeme]

That's a great ending, Grame! The ending I would suggest is a pool party...make that a naked pool party!

 

Thanks! It was just that there was talk about a cliffhanger ending, and then a request that our heroes live and ride off into the sunset -- I was just trying to keep everyone happy.

Technically -- and I know how much C James likes to be very precise with his words -- Conner is only requesting no more talk of roasting goat flesh. Other cooking methods, such as stewing, baking, frying and grilling, still appear to be acceptable topics of conversation...

[Jack Frost]

You misunderstood me. I meant he can back up my words that I have a PhD in teasing.

 

Pst, Moving On is due after this weekend. Ok I'll shut up now.

[C James]

Mormons or Jehovah witnesses maybe? An Avon Lad? Do they have people who sell Amway products door-to-door?

 

Could well be... Just overly pushy salesmen. Maybe they are selling girl scout cookies?

 

I'm not sure I like this canyon theory. Gays in fiction always died until very recently (well, in movies at least), so if we could have heroes riding towards the setting sun (no matter what or whom they ride... )

 

OK, you want it, you got it! Riding off into the sunset they go...

 

Steve wheeled the charger around, distracted by the flying bullets buzzing through the air. Jamming his foot to the floorboards, he raised his arm to sheild his eyes from the glare of the setting sun, "Chris, I can't see!" he yelled.

 

Chris, hanging on for all he was worth as the Charger accelerated throguh one hundered miles per hour actoss the rough and rolling terrain, tried to see ahead, but couldn't. "I don't know, dude. But we can't go in any other direction, they've got us boxed in."

 

The sudden silence as the Charger's wheels cleared the canyon rim filled the car. Chris felt his stomach churn as he became weighless, and stared in awe out the side window, looking down into the magnificent canyon below. As the nose of the car slowly dropped, revealing the onrushing canyon floor below, Steve's final words were, "that's one heck of a sunset, dude..."

Thank you, goat-buddy!!! And welcome back! We missed you!!

Now, if only that pesky moderator would show up... They are never around when you need 'em...

 

Yes, yes, I fuly agree about Eric. He is being unfairly maligned when all he has done is to display the vitues of enterprise and dedication. I honestly don't know why people malign him so. He's just being industrious.

Your starting to sound alot like CJ with the whole eric spiel.

Of course! Us goats gotta stick together!

ACK! Talk about having a critical audience... Mine keeps putting me on the menu!

[TalonRider]

This is a bit off topic but, CJ & Conner, you're in danger!

 

I caught the end of the show, Iron Chef (American version) last night and the secret ingredient was GOAT meat.

 

Need I say more?

ACK! This just isn't my week! First, an attempted coup, and now, I'm on the menu, again!

 

BTW, on a serious note (and one which will likely give more ammo to the conspirators),

FTL 21 will likely not be ready for posting on Tuesday.

 

Emoe does have it, but Emoe is traveling again and several days ago he let me know that Ch 21 was unlikely to be ready by Tuesday.

 

BTW, rumor has it that Emoe is at a Southern Baptists ministers convention, brushing up on his Leviticus.

 

So, I can guarantee that CH 21 will be posted at some point, as it does exist, but I can't say exactly when.

Now, I'd probably better go hide before you guys see this and start planning a Goat BBQ...

[TalonRider]

I'd say run for the hills, but that would be too obvious of a place to go. So I guess you should go underground instead to escape.

Try Peidmont. I hear the police there are sympathetic, kind and considerate. I'm sure they'll be happy to hide a fugitive goat.

[C James]

Underground? Hmmmm.... Goats usually don't go underground, so that would have the element of being unexpected...

Piedmont? MHmmm... That does have possibilities... But, lurking and hiding are sort of similar things, and I'm sure I'll be every bit as good at hiding as I have been at lurking...

[Conner]

I will not run and hide....my hide. :2hands: Neither will CJ....remember the red eyes!

 

I will play my magic flute...make that lute...and charm any hunters over the cliffs. :pickaxe: You know, the Pied Piper thing.

 

Besides, CJ needs to finish the story first. Wait a minute....that just leaves me.

[Bondwriter]

No goat should be hurt by me as long as no hero is killed in this story. I'll ask my minions to do the job.

Ah yes, my innocent-looking eyes when I misplace my sunglasses. I don't see how anyone could consider them troubling, though?

Ummm, you have minions? Now that is ominous!!!

 

But... I'm worried about the "No Hero Killed" part.. What if it does happen? I mean, right now we have one of our heroes alone and on the run after his industrious web-based enterprise fell apart. Being alone and on the run is dangerous, so it is quite possible that something fatal could happen?

[old bob]

And I find it distrubing with the overpromoting of guns in the story. CJ never really takes into consideration I'm a liberal who believes in strict gun control.

Hey, you cannt write a thriller without guns

It would be soooo funny if Betty would get the opportunity to use her "chinese" Kalashnikov

And BTW, thanks JC and Jack Frost, I got to write my 400th post

Eric was shivering in the cold of the desert night. But worse of all, he felt cold in his heart. Not that he had any remorse, no. But he felt like a complete failure. He had looked at the spreadsheet every night for the last few weeks.

"By the time I turn 21, I'll be able to retire and live off the return on the investment of my ill-gained money. Certainly having poor workers, possibly children, working 15-hour days for me!"

The mere thought was enough to cause him a little erection (unlike his brother, he was not very well-endowed, which caused him to suffer a lack of self-esteem.)

He heard an engine approaching. The sound was this of his only friend now: the Piedmont Sheriff! Had Eric been a little bit more knowledgeable in Doors, he'd have known it was his only friend, the End: as the Piedmont Sheriff got down from his dark vehicle, he asked:

"Got the Data Stick, kid?"

"Nope, my queer brother got me in trouble and..."

The thud of the gun resounded through the empty valley.

The sheriff approached with his heavy gait. He turned the body around with his boot tip. Another blast echoed through the empty space. The body jerked. Was it from the blast or from a final spasm as the spinal cord was svered by the bullet?

"Gotta make sure the little shit won't rat me out. Too bad, this was some fine nice piece of ass. I'll have to find another one. It sucks."

He'd have spat on the mess that had been Eric's head a few minutes earlier, but no DNA had to be found in case the coyotes and the birds of prey, and the countless creepy-crawlies didn't do the job of cleaning up the crime scene. But the sheriff trusted Nature.

As he climbed aboard his vehicle, the words of the famous 80s philosopher Nikki Sixx ran through his mind. "When you play with the Devil, your day will come to pay..."
