Made The Decision

The last fake tuft of grass took a final adjustment from the tweezers in hand before the artist was satisfied. Grabbing the blue fabric they placed it down in the black area already prepared for it. With the water in place there was only one more thing left to prepare the scene and they put it down.

Considering what was there they nodded firmly and then stood, going to what was needed. "I can't pay proper homage," they spoke to themselves. "Without the players set."

With that they began to walk back and forth between the work bench and table until everyone was ready. They studied them closely before they picked up the first figure and then spoke to it, "The most important… you'll go here…"

The figurine in the water they nodded and then said with a heavy laugh, "You're not there yet but you'll be soon enough. But it's hard to decide where I'll take you… there's more than enough water though. All around…"

The next figurine they then placed next to the shore and said, "So close and so far but I can't let you get to this point. Everything has to go well. Though of course…" They paused then there as they needed to make sure that the figurine would stay in place. "Of course I wish you would be there to see your tortured face," they said before stopping and laughing. "Oh that would be sweet, so sweet… But never mind, knowing that you will have that on your face at some point is enough."

Turning to the rest of the figurines they frowned and said, "And the rest," as a suffering sigh escaped them as well. "But you will all be important too. First you, I don't know you but you both intruded so you must be a part of this."

After that figurine was ready another was going next to it and they grumbled at having to put them so close. But the two were a set and they rolled their eyes, "Keep coming together, oh if only they hadn't gotten in contact with you." With that they then reached for the final one and nodded as they breathed out, "God, if only you could have known what would happen when we met…"

With the last one in place they stepped back, studying the scene that was lit by the single light in the room. A wide smile on their face they laughed as loudly as they could, clapping their hands together until they were literally weeping in their mirth. "Oh, if only, if only…" they spoke, nodding their head before leaving.

Going over to the lights they flicked them on and once they could see again they headed to the computer next to the small bed. Sitting they made a final check of the photographs they used as reference though they didn't bother to make sure the figurines corresponded; they already knew they were correct.

A phone underneath the materials used to make the clothing for all the figures began to ring and they ran over to it, their face lighting up at the sight of the number. "Hello?" they answered. After listening to the person on the other end, they became excited and said, "When… now? Yes thank you that was all I needed to know I'll be interviewing them now. I'll keep you off record of course."

Hanging up the phone they went to the scene, the diorama perfect in the image of murder that it made that they'd been dreaming of for so long. After covering it with a white length of cloth they were leaving, striding through the hall to reach the greater world where they could finally put everything into order.

Reaching their car they then stowed what was in their hands and got into the driver's seat, taking off at a speed not fast enough to get them stopped but fast enough to reach where they needed to be to make that diorama real.
