Five-minute fiction - 23:34-23:39
The door burst open, splintering into shards of razor sharp needles as Darker tumbled through it. He rolled and came up with a snarl of anger. The snarl quickly turned to a cry of surprise as a body hurtled through the air toward him. With reflexes trained to the highest peak of efficiency he took the full force of the thrown carcass to his chest. He toppled over backward, swearing, despite the breath being knocked from his body. He squirmed and fought trying to push the weight off of his chest.
‘Calm down!’ Grim cried as Darker’s hands, thick and muscular dug into the flesh of his shoulders. ‘If you quit squirming I can get up.’
‘I might have an issue with that,’ a voice said. The two men looked up in surprise at the figure outlined in the now empty doorframe. She was short, and appeared to be shaped like an over large pear, or a evergreen tree. The oddity of her shape was caused by the myriad of ruffled skirts she wore which gave her a distinctly triangular shape.
