Title: Infirm of Purpose
Author: Bruttimabuoni
Prompt: Stick(ing)
Characters: Giles, Vi
“Now screw your courage to the sticking-place and we‘ll not fail.”
“Uh, what sticking-place? The place I stick solid asking, “Why am I taking part in the ultimate Uber-vamp-slaying battle when I’m just a teenager with decent throwing skills?”
“I think what Shakespeare had in mind was the point where you find your confidence, and go forward with all your might.”
“Yeah, well, worked out perfectly for Lady Macbeth, didn’t it?”
Giles left the room feeling he’d failed to reassure Vi adequately. But also ecstatic to have found a Potential with a grasp of literature.
God, he hoped she’d survive.
