Short and sweet update, and I think that's me done for the night. More soon, I promise! Rereading what I've written, I think there's some stuff I need to read over and redo and rethink. There's also I lot I need to face within myself as I start writing seriously for a portfolio I'm preparing for my university interviews during next year, and while I'll be including some of this to show how my writing has developed as I have as a person (By next September, this thing will've been going nearly THREE years!) But yeah! I plan to get this finished by New Years! Gosh.
Anyway, enjoy!
6th May, 2012. Scotland.
Vidic sat alone in the company of McDonald's voice. He had it on loop, and he knew it word by word – leaning back in his chair and sipping from a glass of brandy, he waved his hand along with the tempo of McDonald's reverent muttering as he made the decision to return to the woman's flat, the harsh, bold brass of his curse as his phone began to ring, and then the symphony was finished with the gentle murmur of love's small talk, and a promise to stay the night. Vidic hummed along gently with the tune he had composed in his head, and raised his glass to the sound of the door shutting and the rustle of fabric as McDonald removed his coat. In the few seconds' lull that followed as the computer readied to play the audio track again, he rattled the ice around his glass and sighed happily.
Darren McDonald had gone and got himself involved. He'd bought his feelings into play, and now they were taking all his turns. The thought made Vidic nearly squirm with glee – oh! How foolish he'd been. How very foolish. He thought human emotions were such pitiable things: if a man fell into their grasp then, well, he was subject to the whim of every foe.
And now Vidic had a woman.
Now, he had leverage.
The track began again, and Vidic sighed again as he let his head tip back, immersed in the sound of McDonald's denial. The sound of easy manipulation had a wonderful ring to it.
Goodnight/good day everyone! Have a good one, wherever you are :)
