ds_flashfiction | Fuck or Die Challenge - Prime Target by chesamus

650 ‘dialog only’ words. No particular lightening bolt, although the protagonist changed from one page to the next. I think it worked out better that way.

Prime Target
by chesamus

"It’s time."

"I beg your pardon?"

"It’s time! It’s time!"

"I don’t understand..."

"What’s to understand? It’s time - the perfect time!"

"Forgive me, perfect time for what?"

"For what? For IT! the perfect time. I’m ready."

"Ready?"

"Yea, exactly! Ready. I’m there, I’m primed, and you’re perfect! And we’re gonna, you know, now!"

"I don’t - could you perhaps?"

"God, how can you be so - don’t you understand anything about biology at all?"

"I know a great deal about biology. Unfortunately, my understanding of psychology is sorely lacking."

"Are you saying I’m crazy?"

"No - although an unbiased observer would possibly question your state of dress, or the lack thereof, not to mention the other accessory."

"You don’t like it?"

"I’m certain the bovine who produced it was of the best quality, as was the steel mill -"

"Hey, I only buy the best. I only want the best. That’s why I picked you."

"Picked me for what?!"

"For me! For them! But it has to be now, today. "

"Oh for heaven’s sake. This is getting us nowhere!"

"We don’t have to go anywhere. We can do it right here. Just take off the hat - no wait a second - leave the hat on and take everything else off."

"Take - you want me to disrobe?"

"Well, you don’t have to, I suppose, but it would probably help."

"Are you suggesting - you want me to - now? With that - that? I couldn’t possibly..."

"You’ll do what I tell you to."

"You can tell me to do almost anything, but most men..."

"You aren’t most men. That’s why you’re perfect."

"I suppose that’s a compliment, however, I am not perfect. Nor am I capable of - of - measuring up to whatever expectations you seem to have of me."

"I’ve heard stories, Fraser, and trust me, measuring up ain’t going to be a problem. "

"Well - perhaps not, however there are several other variables you need to consider."

"I can do variables. I can do it anyway you want."

"You need to listen to me. For one, few men, under any circumstances, perform well when a gun is pointed to their head."

"I wouldn’t need the gun if you were normal, if you were horny like every other guy I’ve ever met. God, sometimes I think you got snow instead of blood."

"It is hardly helping your cause to be so insulting. I have feelings, I have needs, just not the type of need that matches yours, I expect."

"Which is why I brought the gun. "

"Which is why the gun is useless. I’m homosexual."

"You’re -"

"Homosexual. Gay. Attracted to men."

"You’re lying!"

"I don’t lie well. You should know that."

"But what about, you know, her?"

"An aberration - and, it turned out, a convenient excuse to justify my lack of a social life."

"You’re really gay?"

"Yes."

"And you like guys?"

"In love with one, in fact."

"In love... Really?"

"Yes."

"Can I - who with?"

"Ray."

"You’re in love with my brother?! So help me God, I should shoot you anyway!"

"No, no! Not Ray! Ray!"

"Ray? Oh - that Ray!"

"Yes, that Ray."

"But - but I’m ready. Now, Today. It’s gotta be today!"

"You never did explain that."

"I’m ovulating - like crazy. And I really, really need to do it today."

"I’m sorry I cannot accommodate you, Francesca."

"Me, too. I guess I better head home, huh?"

"Yes. Why don’t you let me escort you to your car?"

"I took a cab."

"Dressed like that?!"

"My raincoat’s outside your door."

"Of course. Wait here, and I’ll direct Turnbull -"

"Nah, I’ll take care of it. You’re lookin’ kinda pale."

"Having guns pointed at one’s head will do that."

"Yeah. It ain’t loaded, Fraser."

"I’m happy to hear that. Although in that - um - lovely bustiere, perhaps a modicum of protection would not be amiss."

"I’ll check with Turnbull. Maybe he has some bullets..."

Heeeh. That was GREAT!

(...in the beginning you had me thinking that it was Ray talking to Fraser and I was wondering like crazy what he was wearing :D )

Well, it started out as Ray - just kinda drifted in the other direction! Thank you.

For a while there I thought it might be Ray himself - well, except for the biological ticking I could hear. Lovely.

Tick, tick, tick... glad mine broke at a very, very early age.

I think I was made without one.
Or it's sand and I just can't hear the soft hissing ...

Trust me, all I felt was relief. Felt guilty about that for about three seconds once, but that's it. Makes me wonder why I'm so mean to Stella about not wanting kids...
