When you did the job Buffy did, getting rough and tumble with the bad things, there were bound to be casualties.
This time it happened as she was quipping, sending a vampire flying with a kick, right into a stone monument over someone's grave. Once it was down, it was time for a quick dusting, and then Buffy stood straight and surveyed the damage...
"Wow," she muttered, "all these years and I've never seen that happen before."
She felt bad that the monument cracked the way it did. Well, okay, maybe cracked wasn't the right word. Broke into several large chunks, that might be a better word...s. Words. And now she was left with a dilemma that went Do I tell someone? Or do we pretend I was never here?
"I can fix this," she told the monument, like the person whose grave she'd just accidentally desecrated might hear her. "I'll be right back." All night convenience stores sold duct tape, right?
[I know, I'm sorry, it's in such bad taste. But
this was BEGGING for a post.]
