Monday: Triptych
Hello, all! I'm saavikam77, and I will be your guest host for the final week of 2010!
To get the week started, today's theme is Triptych. A triptych is generally defined as an art piece done in three attached/hinged panels, so with that in mind, the idea today is to follow a rule of three: prompts or fills in three parts, threesome prompts, basically ( Read more... )

Mayor Armand Krol is enjoying a late night swim in his indoor pool when Jimmy grabs his arm and pulls him out. Krol tries to scream for help but Jimmy incapacitated every guard. “Don’t worry, Mayor,” Jimmy tells him, “I’m not here to hurt you.” He smiles, though of course Krol can’t see it. “Not yet.”
“Do you know who I am!” Krol shouts. “Do you know who my friends are!”
“Yes,” Jimmy says. “But I’m just here for a conversation, Mayor.”
Krol is shivering; Jimmy offers him the towel lying on a nearby chair.
“Who are you?” Krol asks after looking at the towel in disbelief and taking it.
“I’m a ghost,” Jimmy says. “And I’m warnin’ you that I’m watching. I’m giving you a chance to clean up the corruption in Gotham before I start cleaning it up for you.” He turns to go, adding over his shoulder, “And my way is fatal, Mr. Mayor. This is your second chance. You won’t get a third.”
As Jimmy vacates the premises, he hears the state-of-the-art alarm belated go off and laughs.
…
“How’s it goin’?” Jason asks after Jimmy’s got himself situated in bed, wrapped around him.
“Pretty good,” Jimmy answers. “You?”
Jason chuckles. “Well, Sullivan wants to know why we’re terrorizing the politicians ‘cause he thinks they had a good thing goin’, but his daughter Aileen gets it. We should make sure she takes over; she’s smart.”
“Okay,” Jimmy mumbles, letting himself go still.
“Get some sleep,” Jason tells him. “Don’t worry.”
Three nights of intensive work - as the asset, he had gone for weeks without rest. But he is not the asset. He is Jimmy, and he is nestled against Jason, and he is on a mission he chose himself.
So he sleeps.
