I think, re reading this, it's actually one of my favorite responses. Poor Billy, he's just trapped in a vicious cycle. And if he keeps leaving before he gets a chance to do his laundry, well, that's can't be convenient....
21 Escape:(Billy, pre-musical)
Billy threw his marker down on the work table with more force then necessary. He was a genius for crying out loud. Why couldn't he get the transmatter ray to be fully functional? He groaned, dropping his head to his hands. He had to get out of his apartment.
He arrived at the corner laundromat within the hour, and perked up almost immediately. She was there.
Billy didn't know her name, but he assumed it was something like Persephone, or Delysia, something beautiful, and delicate. He wanted to talk to her, desperately. In theory, it was easy. He'd take three steps to her washing machine, (not four, that would be too close.) Then he'd compliment her. She'd smile, and they'd start a conversation. Next week, he'd ask her out, and they'd get married by the end of the year.
All of a sudden, Billy felt smothered. He wasn't ready to get married. He needed to get back to the structured world of his workshop. There was more he could to there anyways, and he'd be fine.
Billy sighed, he'd be fine for two days, until this whole cycle repeated it's self... again.
The next chapter of "Freeze Ray Chronicles" is almost ready to be put up, so for those of you who are reading that, keep an eye out.
Review!
