I
trudged down the castle paths, toward the lab wondering what he wanted me to
next. I walked into the lab, and found him with a diabolical grin on his face.
I knew that grin. The grin that he got whenever he had a
PARTICULARLY displeasing task for me. I looked him in the eye, wanting
him to just tell me what I was needed for. But he wouldn't. He just stood there
grinning, ready to burst if he didn't say or do something. "Ah, Riff
Raff." He said, finally speaking. I walked around to the side of him,
rather much like a dog, waiting to strike.
"Yes master?" I questioned him.
"I have something else to require your, assistance." It was going to
be more than assistance. I'd probably have to everything for him. I always did.
"With what master?" I knew with what.
"My newest experiment of course." He said
with an overt air of pride. "I've decided to test the limits of the human
body." I could see where he was going with this. I was going to have to
travel into the town again. "Go find me a suitable specimen Riff
Raff." I was already halfway out the door at this point. I walked down the
beat up gravel drive, to the small truck that was parked there.
It was one of the most horrid looking things out there. It was a real bargain
when we bought it though, and I quickly saw why. But it sufficed for the
occasional trips back and forth into the small town. I removed my tailcoat, and
left it on the other seat when I got out. Other wise, I fit right in. Well
almost. Everyone in the town seemed so perfect.
I certainly had my fair share of "specimens" to pick from. I looked
around the town, trying to find the perfect person. It didn't take long to find
him. he was a typical high school student, the epitome
of middle class America. He had the lanky
build of a foot ball player, and the good looks that almost everyone in the
town seemed to posess. Frank would be extremely
happy with him. It almost made me want to pass him up.
I quickly approached the young man, who was walking nonchalantly down the
street. "Excuse me, sir, could you give me a
hand?" I asked, him, giving him my best panicked look.
"Sure dude, what do you need help with?"
"My car broke down right outside of town, you
look like the type that could help me." He grinned.
"Sure dude, lead the way." I smiled to myself. This was one of the
easiest trips yet. I led him back to the small beat up Ford. He whistled
slightly when he saw the car. "I'm not surprised that this thing stalled
out on ya. It's a wreck." He said, popping the hood. As soon as he was
bent over the engine, I reared back, and whacked the back of his head as hard
as I could. He instantly slumped over, and I caught him before his face could
hit the still warm engine.
As I began the trip back to the castle, I couldn't help but wonder what the
Master had in mind. I looked over at the silent passenger, and finally, reached
the castle. I parked the car, and lugged the body out. I brought him up to the
lab, and left him in front of Frank. "wonderful Riff Raff. Excellent work."
He said, and I retreated back to my room.
