This is another afternoon page because I have no internet at home, and had to rush to Collage Ave for a free T-shirt. Instinct to grab free things still strong and present, but toned down due to lethargy and general craving for non-free bananas.
I suppose it's a childish and bad habit of mine to start something and not finish it. Like the stories I used to write. I will write them and finish them (eventually), but right now I can't seem to steer the plot to something remotely readable.
This goes to the wolves and unicorns that have magical adventures in my head at night before I go to sleep. That way, my dreams are always epic.
I will now continue my Afternoon Page story:
The wolf turned around and found another wolf glaring at it. This wolf was Odean, but he liked to be called Lord Odean because he was, after all, high and mighty and had an impressive black staff made of some exotic tree. The wolf glowered at the other wolf. Confusion arose because there is ambiguity in which wolf was staring at which.
“I hope you've gotten the... 'merchandise' I .. 'ordered' a week previous,” growled (Lord) Odean. The dimension-traversing wolf smiled and threw him a satchel. (Lord) Odean glared.
“This isn't what I asked for.” He said.
“You haven't even checked!” said the dimension-traversing wolf.
(Lord) Odean glared at his agent. “Ten elephants?” He deadpanned. The dimension-traversing wolf shrugged.
“I can traverse dimensions.” He said, as if it was some sort of explanation.
“So what, this thing is bigger on the inside?”
“No, I had your elephants desiccated and ground up into ten-elephant-powder.”
(Lord) Odean snorted, and snapped the string that held the satchel shut.
Ten elephants, in their pachyderm glory, burst out of the satchel with a roaring trumpet. Gold and silver confetti, shaped like stars and birthday cake, accompanied the ensemble. So did real trumpets. And a purple tuba.
Half the street was crushed. The other half was reduced to squid from residual magic.
The dimension-traversing wolf shook his head and walked away.
