Prompt : Ink
Disclaimer : Not true :).
1. Unspecified Character
The spilled ink made black watery islands on the table. The bottle was toppled, but he didn’t bother to put it upright again, ignoring the black liquid that started to crawl to the table’s edge.
It’d be hard to clean, but it was the least of his worries. Hands shaking, he read the letter, over and over. He couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t -
He rushed to the phone, accidentally knocking the bottle off the table. He punched the number furiously but no one answered.
The ink drip, drip, dripping onto the carpet. The letter a crumpled mess in his hand.
2. Unspecified Character
You wipe the letter with your hand, trying to erase traces of your tears on it. You’re not this weak, you’re not, and you’ll be damned if he knows how pathetic you are.
But no matter how you wipe, it’s already been ruined and you only succeed in making it worse. The blotched words stare back at you and you crumple the paper, throwing it to the bin angrily - missing only a few millimeters.
Your mobile phone rings shrilly and his name blinks on the screen. You turn it off and take another paper. There’ll be no blotched word now.
3. Gary Neville
Gary scrubbed the table’s surface furiously, trying to clean the huge dark stain there. He’d accidentally spilled the ink on Ryan’s prized table (who else had table as their prized possession anyway?) and it was just his luck that the wooden surface got stained very easily.
He let out a frustrated growl at the stubborn stain - he wanted to use stronger cleaner but was afraid it’d damage the table. But oh, he really had to make it spotless again before Ryan came back because if he didn’t -
“What are you doing, Gaz?”
-- he’d be in a real deep shit.
4. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Darren walked - no, hobbled - into the party dressing as squid.
Ole blinked at the sight - he’d been in many costume parties before but he’d never seen a squid in any party before. Darren even had that tentacles thing on - looking quite believable, Ole must say. And definitely mental - and Ole was pretty sure the squid would be the star and the joke of the party.
Paul always said that Darren has always been on the “special” side, and watching as Darren hobbled over to Pirate Owen and sprayed him with the black squid ink, Ole understood what Paul meant.
5. Unspecified Character
The light flashes around him, almost blinding him. His facial muscles hurt from smiling too much but he has to keep it on and this time he actually doesn’t mind.
The Club’s Director, smiling, puts the paper in front of him and hands him an expensive pen. He stares at the club’s crest on the paper and he fumbles with the pen - too much excitement.
He somehow manages to put his signature on it, in long, confident strokes, the black ink, wet and glittering, contrasting perfectly to the cream-colored paper and he grins.
He’s a Manchester United player now.
wheeew :). OK, going back doing my work (blergh), when I'm back, there'd better be some comments on this ;).
