I was reading through another project I started ages ago...
Added 2024-07-29 23:42:32 +0000 UTCI needed something to reset my mind after staring at Leas for too long. I've hit a point with one scene where I need "fresh eyes" on it to be able to tell if it's improved enough. So I took 10 minutes and read through a project I've tentatively named "Something Wild." I started it like... half a year ago, I think? And I think I'll be working on it for the next 20 years π But I like this scene outline from it, and I thought I'd share it here for anyone interested in some bonus side-project content.

The Dentist
You Have to Know the Rules, to Break Them Properly
She looks at me expectantly.
1. Iβm looking for the Devil.
2. Iβm looking for something wild.
βCanβt help you,β she says flatly. βNow those teeth, on the other hand, I could do something about.β
1. Whatβs wrong with my teeth?
2. I donβt have that kind of money.
βThatβs fine. Here, take my card. You never know when youβll break a tooth on that midnight snack from the fridge. Youβll be glad to have someone to call then. Not like anyone elseβll care about your screaming.β
βYouβre open at midnight?β
βNo, but I make house calls, for the right payment.β
1. How much?
2. Whatβs the βright payment?β
3. Why are you so sure Iβm going to have a dental accident?
βPies, spare car parts, first-born chickens and sons...β
1. Are you serious?
2. Kind of sounds like you might be the devil Iβm looking for.
βMostly itβs chickens. Iβve got more eggs than I know what to do with. Just take the card.β
