Five-Minute fiction - 23:28-23:33
Thats a good question, Darker said moving to the edge of the bed, it squelched quietly as he shifted position. Though, Id hazard to suppose that we should perhaps dry our clothes.
The sopping wet clothes were hung on every conceivable space capable of allowing them to dry and the pair sat in just their undergarments watching the hustle and bustle of the City below.
I think we need to have a partners meeting tonight, Grim said without looking over at Darker. Grim caught the faint flicker of movement in his peripheral vision as Darkers head bobbed upside down. How long were you awake? Did you hear much of it?
Not for very long, but I heard enough to have any idea where we stand.
And where is that?
On the edge of a cliff with our backs to a wall of sword, or rolling stones. Pick your metaphor. Either way were trapped. And either way something has to happen.
What do you suppose is supposed to happen?
Someone dies.
