Five Minutes after 'Odds'

“I’ll call in that IOU after all, Ray.”

“Hey, I said I was tapped out.”

“Nevertheless, I believe you have enough to honour your wager.”

Ray felt a thrill go through him at the assessing stare. He knew that Fraser was no taller than himself, but somehow the man loomed over him, big hands holding him still as that mouth descended towards his. A firm yet gentle suction locked them together, making his head spin. Just like buddy breathing in reverse, he thought as darkness descended.

Lieutenant Walsh stared bemusedly at the body of Stanley Raymond Kowalski as Mort returned with his report.

“Definitely asphyxiation, as I thought. Most strange. It’s as if something sucked every molecule of oxygen out of his body.”

Thank You! I hope you sustained no injuries! (Though I really wish I could write something long ...)

Whoa!!!

Started out thinking, well, this is nice, if not particularly new, then... wham! Broadsided by the fiction express!!

I sure didn't see that coming. Well done. And in so few words, too.
Thanks,

Honest to God, I don't know whether to laugh or scream, so I'll do both.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Totally unexpected. Benton Fraser, oxygen vampire.

Thank you! I accept both forms of payment.

sorta puts a new spin on auto-erotic asphyxiation, doesn't it?

[mergatrude.livejournal.com]

umm yes ... at least Ray had a good time!

Lj is behaving spazzy and I was ready to log off. Almost missed this. ::snerk::
They will surely have to call in Mulder and Skully.

Thanks! I was going to include a line from Welsh wondering what Fraser might make of this ... but M&S definitely need to fly out to Chicago.

Well, the secret's out. The RCMP's actual mission is to seduce hapless Americans, suck them dry with with fabulous smooches, then take all that warm, moist air up north to heat the tundra. Mergatrude was just too clever for us.

A plan that's fun too! Thanks!

This cracked me up. Great writing and funny as hell. heeheehee! Great job!

(sorry if this posts twice. LJ was getting all wonky on me, sigh)

[mergatrude.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

(and yes, LJ definitely needs medicating at the moment)

[imkalena.livejournal.com]

YOU KILLED ME TOO!

I HAD TO RISE FROM THE DEAD JUST TO POST THIS!

*SNORGLE*

[mergatrude.livejournal.com]

Whoops! I hope you had as good a time dying as Ray did. Thanks!

Hee! I just woke everyone up laughing. What a surprise!

[mergatrude.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Sleep is overrated when you can have flashfiction.

[mergatrude.livejournal.com]

Thank you kindly! I have to admit I didn't see it coming either, but there you go ...

Uh.. *flabbergasted*
If Ghost!Ray comes back he will kick Fraser in the Head, ignoring with full intent that he is ascended. Daniel was showing up all the time at Jack. But Jack hadn't killed him..
Oh Ray will be royally pissed. Fraser can go and search for cover. Wondering what Robert is saying to all this. Now he has the Yank on his heels.
