When I think about what I did for this country...
Of course, they don’t like to talk about magic, officially. The things we did in the wars, in secret. We saved this world from the worst of Nazi death magic and what has it come to?
These tacky little skinheads trying to steal my pension, with their filthy mouths and switchblade bravado.
I’ll teach them how to curse for real. I’ll bewitch those blades right up their backsides.
And when they’re done bleeding out, I’ll re-animate their corpses. I'm getting old, I could do with a hand on the allotment.

The last line is killer. Great stuff. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jack. =)
DeleteSounds like an extremely fitting thing to do to theiving, tacky little skinheads, it would be a nice twist if they could be aware of their punishment too.
ReplyDeleteBwuhahahahaha!!
:-)
Now there's an evil thought...! ;)
DeleteHa! It would be one bloody day for the skinheads once this brilliant maniac gets his hands on them! Great piece John.
ReplyDelete"Brilliant maniac," I like it! =)
DeleteThanks, Cindy.
Fear the old mages! This is a fun piece. Those skinheads won't know what hit 'em.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Aaron. =)
DeleteGlad you thought it was fun, I like to try and change up the tone as well as the genre to keep things around here interesting. =)
Zombie gardeners! So cool.
ReplyDeleteOne sentence confused me though: "I’ll bewitch those blades up right their backsides."
Oh wow, oops! Thanks, Pete. That should, of course, be 'right up'.
DeleteAnd thank you. =)
