15minuteficletsOoh, look - two entries in two days! Does it count if one’s a ficlet? In the absence of anyone to say otherwise, I shall say that it does. :D
In other news, Pickle tried to pack herself in my suitcase. I was half-tempted to leave her there, but I kind of needed the space for my clothes...
I’m not sure where this story came from and I have no idea where it’s going.

I should have known better. Should have stopped and thought before I got so carried away. Should have known you’d all misjudge my every action. So I only have myself to blame, I guess.
Yay - I’m the idiot again. I get to stand here and stare at the floor and pretend that all those words aren’t hurting me. I get to put on that shamefaced smile and look all sheepish and pretend that I’m not stung to the heart.
“Absolutely moronic... and so on.”
“Can’t believe you’d be so stupid... et cetera.”
“What were you thinking? Oh I forgot... you weren’t... and such.”
What am I supposed to say to that? You just want me to continue the act, don’t you? Because if I don’t, you might stop and think that what you’re saying could actually hurt.
But it wasn’t absolutely moronic. If you’d been there when the message came through, you’d have done exactly the same thing. You wouldn’t have thought twice and you know why? Because thinking twice could get you killed. I barely even had time to think once.
Couldn’t believe I’d be so stupid, huh? Sounds like you think the exact opposite. Sounds like you’re almost happy I was so stupid, because then I’d have destroyed your view of the world. Then I might have made you think well of me.
Oh yeah - ha ha, I wasn’t thinking. Because I don’t, apparently. The fact that I’m still alive and everyone who was looking to me for orders is still alive means nothing. Have you ever been in that situation? Yeah, I doubt it. ’Cause then you’d know there’s no time for thinking. All that matters is the moment and your instinct.
Your blood thinks for you and your muscles just follow along.
Damn right I wasn’t thinking. That sort of thinking would have got me killed. Me and about a hundred others.
So I have to ask... “Are you done?”
And I have to hide my laugh at the shocked look on your faces.
“Are we... done?”
“Who gave you leave to speak”
“Who the hell do you think you are?”
Nah, I’ve had enough of answering questions. I’ve had enough of standing here, pretending to be your fool.
“Sick of this shit.” And I am, well and truly. I’m sorry I won the day in the wrong way. Sorry I kept so many people alive like a moron. Sorry I gave you such a stupid victory. “I’m not going to be your fool any more.”
Comments and criticisms are most appreciated. :D And have a lovely Easter while I’m away.
