14AmyChan: okay, so I've seen one shot collections, but never half-shots. Most likely because the idea is ridiculous, but whatever. I don't own Ghost Hunt. Oh, and most of whatever goes in this collection has been sitting in my memory for a while, never moving forward with no ideas to keep it going. Hope you enjoy. *^_^*
Oliver Davis was a man of few words. Not that he did not know how to speak. On the contrary, he was a very skilled debater and could wrap an audience around his finger with an adequate amount of well-chosen dialogue. Rather, he chose not to grace his words upon people who would not have the appropriate brain capacity to understand him or the proper frame of mind to *want* to understand him. In many cases, the situation was the former.
After all, not many people can keep up with a prodigy of any category. Musical prodigies would pass their mentors up in only a few years, much to the latter's befuddlement. Prodigies of the sports fields would have an endurance only comprehended by a select few. As such, an intellectual prodigy such as himself had a reverence for knowledge and respect for hard-earned and well-documented experiences that seemed to be misunderstood by all who surrounded him.
"Put down your books, Noll!" his twin brother would call. Noll would roll his eyes. "Play with me!"
Due to reasons stated in the first paragraph, Oliver would not respond with words. The latter of the two situations, not the former. Rather, he would flip a page of a book and continue to read, to absorb information already revealed by researchers, scientists past. By the age of nine, the boy had decided to discover something new. To earn and document his own findings.
Eventually, his brother had begun to accept what his twin was and assist in the goals of his life. Eugene often teased the intellectual, though, often dubbing him the "idiot scientist". It was one of the many things that the scientifically-inclined boy had learned to accept should he want his brother's assistance. After all, having a person that understood his goals and methods was a blessing not to be wasted.
14AmyChan: okay, use this as a prompt, build upon it, I don't mind either way. But if you do, then please let me know. I Anna see what you guys come up with because this kind of stumped me. *^_^*
