Five-minute fiction - 00:07-00:12
The carter, much smarter than he looked, knew discretion was the better part of valour and leapt from the cart. The tile thudded into the wood inches from Grims right foot. Grim, somewhat distraught over the tenuous trajectory of the tumbling tile looked up at Darker and glared.
Sorry! Darker said.
With quick, deft movement he swung down onto the eave and on to one of the many drainpipes that adorned the houses. He dropped the last few feet to the ground and sauntered over to where Grim lay mired in the tangled in the totalled treats.
I have no words for how strange the sensation underneath my person is, Grim said holding out one hand for Darker to help him up. His body slid slowly from slide to slide, seemingly of its own volition and Grim was positive the look on his face painted the picture perfectly of how he felt. And he was positive Darkers face mirrored the laughter that must have been.
