And, even as the light became heat became non-thought became nothing, even as what he held in his hand evaporated into wisps of tenuous matter like all around it, in that one brief instant he returned to his world the feel, the smell, the dream of frost....

 

[Urlik]

and that, my dears, is how one became larger than the other.

 

[Ursa major]

'And the rest,' she said, 'is not history.'

 

[Grimward]

"But coming upon the Common, the winds still break about him, and the heavens still throw garbage."

 

[Zubi-Ondo]

The smallish alien child looked up. "Thank you." He said.

 

[Urien]

It still doesn't look like a cat.


Is it my fault that his legs didn't grow back?


Remember, catch it and you can eat it.


I still don't go outside, I can't bear it.

Standing amidst the wreck and carnage of the battle, Telagore sheathed his magic sword and kicked the severed head of the dragon to one side. With one powerful flick of his hugely enthewed arms, he tore away Princess Astrid's bonds and grabbed her tenderly as she swooned to the floor.

"At last, my love. We are together!"

Astrid's eyes flickered as she dragged herself back to consciousness to look deep into the steel blue eyes of the great hero.

"Sorry, Telagore, but you're not my type. I much prefer fat innkeepers and dopey men at arms. But you had to go and kill all of them back in Chapter 3, didn't you, you knuckle-headed tosser."

 

[Simian]

As the high-pitched whine of the mini-gun faded into funereal silence Bob surveyed the devestation with grim satisfaction. Turning to his wife he smiled through a haze of cordite and atomized flesh. "See, didn't I say this would be more fun than going shopping?"

 

[Grimblade]

And if I had the chance to go back and do it all over again?

Well.. **** that.

 

[Talysia]

Exactly as mankind had wanted, the gods had left the world so that their followers would not fight any more. He couldn't decide if it was a good or bad decision, only that the world was a colder place for their leaving.

 

[Zubi-Ondo]

"Well, that was a total waste of time."
"Dude, where's my car?"

 

[Interference]

"Are you sure we haven't forgotten anything," Starlight asked.

"Pretty sure," Pandora replied with a grim smile as they turned away from the burning wreckage that moved, slowly and inevitably, under its own volition.

 

[The Ace]

A final stoke of the pickaxe and, at last, daylight.

 

[Interference]

Unbroken and undeterred, they sat huddled together on the curb.

"Let's get pissed," she said.

"Really pissed," he agreed and they stood and they walked down the street together.

"You know, there's just one thing I still don't understand ...." she was saying as the last dying rays of sun dwindled and died over the mountainous horizon.

 

[Ursa major]

And they all lied happily ever after.

 

[Precise Calibre]

A smile crept across his mouth. "Ahh that was fun," he said while dusting off his greatcoat and straightening his hat. "Now if you'll kindly excuse me - I have my execution to attend."

 

[Interference]

"Is it over?"

"For now."

 

[Talysia]

His soul, freed of life's constraints, was finally able to fly.

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

Now look here Peter, or whatever your name is, there is no way I had that much fun in one lifetime. This is how it really went...
