Thursday: Death

Dec 15, 2011 02:28

Good morning, everyone! Today’s Thursday, and it’s meteorfire here with the theme of the day. It’s been wonderful hosting for you guys!

Today’s theme is one of my favorites in fiction, to be honest. I guess that makes me sort of a morbid person. Anyways, the new theme is Death! Anything related to death goes. Funerals, character death, death AS a character, ( Read more... )

Padraic Ratigan looks down at the corpse by his feet. His translucent feet. He takes another look at the body and hmms. "I'm a ghost now, am I?" he muses. "Oh, the havoc I will be able to wreak on the poor unsuspecting countrymice of Britain, nay the world! And that dratted Basil will be unable to stop me!"

"SQUEAK," says someone behind him.

He turns around.

"SQUEAK," says Death of Rats again.

The angry exclamation is several moments in building, but once there is enough momentum behind it, it erupts out of the mastermind. "I am not a rat!"

Death of Rats heaves a sigh as dry as bone. "SQUEAK SQUEAK-SQUEAK SQUEAK," he says.

"You can't reap me! I am not finished with my diabolical plan! As long as I am alive, I will...I will not die!"

"SQUEAK," Death of Rats says tiredly. He wishes this rat would please hurry up through denial and anger, and get straight on to acceptance already. He doesn't have all day. He's got hundreds of rat souls to reap and see on to the Land of Endless Cheese.

"But...but...I shan't!" Ratigan shouts.

"SQUEAK," Death of Rats says, and swings his scythe.

With a final "Noooooo!!!", the shade of Padraic Ratigan fades away into the ether.

That is...okay, that is awesome. I completely forgot about Ratigan's denial of his species, and I like that you included that. :)

Thanks for writing this!

Confession: I saw the movie once a long time ago, and only vaguely remembered the characters/situation. I actually had to go Wiki it in order to fill the awesome prompt. Because Death of Rats and Ratigan? Dude, how could I not write that?

Glad you liked!
