Bullet Holes – Anecdotes
Here's a few short-shorts I've written, some of them are humorous, others
angst ridden. Feel free to comment on any of them, I'd like to know what
people think. Some of these ideas go into stories that I only post on my
own website. If you like my stuff please stop by!
"Jon Ken Pon..." Wolfwood stared at Meryl's hand. "It's not fair, you ALWAYS choose scissors..."
Meryl smiled, "And you always choose paper. So I always win." She pointed towards Vash the Stampede. "You get to do it." Wolfwood looked at her, hurt.
"I don't wanna touch him."
"You lost, it's only fair. Now go before he gets cranky."
Wolfwood sulked over to Vash, "I'm only doing this because of that Insurance Girl." He bent over....
And grabbed an oilcan. "Let's take care of those squeaks in your mechanical arm." 3-5-04
EYES. Meryl looked deep into his eyes, but they were empty, the light taken out of them by some unknown force... Vash's smile had been empty, but his eyes never showed this intensity before. It scared her. "Vash?" No response. She waved a hand in front of his face, and finally he blinked.
"Oh hey Meryl."
With a frown Meryl said, "What's wrong with you? Is it Legato? Knives? You were so zoned out there that it started to worry me."
Vash shrugged, "I'm not sure what you're talking about... But um hey, do you have another box of those Krispy Kremes? Another dozen would be just about right..." 4-8-04
Wolfwood stared up into the great glass globe of the plant. It didn't look alive, just looked like a big light bulb as if the people in the past were using them as flashlights in the darkness of space when they landed. He shrugged and looked at Tongari, "Hey, did you really come from one of these?"
Vash nodded, "Yeah I did."
Nick's eyes focused on the clear glass, "No wonder your hair sticks up so much - static electricity." 3-14-04
"Going...to...die..." Milly moaned, stumbling into her room and falling face first into bed. She let out a terrible groan and didn't move. Meryl looked up from her paper.
"What's wrong with you?" Milly didn't move. Worried, Meryl set down her paper and got up to nudge her friend. "Uh, is everything okay Milly? Milly? Milly?!" Shaking Milly fiercely, she turned her friend over and her eyes were glazed over. "Milly! Speak to me!"
Slowly her eyes focused and Milly said, "Oh, hi Meryl. Is everything all right?"
"All right?" All right?! I thought you really died!" Meryl fell to her knees. "You scared me!"
Milly giggled, "Oh sorry Meryl... Didn't mean to scare you... It's just that Wolfwood's got so much stamina I just had to quit!" 4-11-04
Meryl looked at Milly, "Stamina?" Her tall friend nodded.
"He just keeps going and going Meryl... 4, 5, 6 times!" She put a hand to her head, "I'm pooped!"
Meryl's mouth dropped open. Could Milly REALLY be talking about what she THOUGHT she was? "Uh, Milly?"
"Yes Meryl?"
"I just want to know... Because I'm not sure I've got this clear in my mind... But what DID you do 5 or 6 times that's got you so pooped?" Meryl braced herself for the answer...
"Twister, Meryl. What did you think I was talking about?" 4-12-04
Kuro Vash: (Dark Vash) A glint in those red eyes was like a silver knife cutting through, laughter, silver hair shining as he turned his guns on Knives. "I'll kill you now," he said, black coat rustling with the movement as he stepped closer. "You've gone too far and now I will end it."
Knives looked at his brother almost cheerfully, his hair nearly black; death would come soon. "Just because you've tapped into a new power Vash, doesn't mean you've won. Our fight has only begun." He turned around and dashed so fast toward the outer wall that normal humans couldn't follow. Knives pressed his cheek against the solid surface and as he did it grew transparent. "You see, I have Meryl and she will die before you get to me."
Meryl sat in the quiet room - eyes nearly black - life drained from them, grief and hopelessness prevailed. She could not see what was going on behind the wall.
Vash cocked his guns, "How fast are you Knives? Not fast enough... I'm not here for Meryl." 3-15-04
