Snippet Saturday!
Yes, I'm going back to doing them on Saturdays. We'll see how it goes.
"After some study, I think I may be able to help you."
"Oh, god, Chambliss, haven't I been helped enough?" He set the water aside with a shaking hand. "Just let me go smash and be done with it."
"Every single person upstairs would object strenuously to that."
Ben put his face in his hands. "You would have to bring them into this. Unfair tactic, man."
Chambliss, as always, was unruffled by the accusation. "Was it efficacious?"
He took a couple of seconds to work out what that meant. Apparently he still had some scotch in his system, and it was making him slow. "Yes." Ben's voice was muffled by his hands. "But you gotta promise me, Chambliss--" His head came up. His eyes had turned amber, and for once, he knew it. "If it doesn't work, it's the end. No more." He dropped his head again. "Because I've had fucking all I can take."
"This will work."
That's what the goblins thought before they accidentally ripped out my soul, Ben didn't say.
