About a month ago, I decided that Roger, my Roomate was to much of a child to be a productive part of my life. Let me explain that statement. He enrolled in Pellissipi state college when we moved in together, with thoughts of " I am going to better my life" He was going to stop smoking, cigarettes and other things. He was going to go to the gym, and get out of the circle of friends that held him back.
So I let him move in with me, and all was good. Until he got fired from Roadhouse, for smoking other things. It took him a month to get another job, and it was less paying then roadhouse.
I dont know why he changed, but he did. He continues to smoke other things, he has dropped out of school and taking the next semester off. He has been drunk or other since last thursday. He calls out of work, and spends more than he makes.
He is living off credit cards, and his friends, he even owes me money. However, I refuse to Babysit, anyone. I am not his parent and so I took the actions to prevent it. WE have 6 months left on our lease. I went today and told the boss lady that I had another roomate lined up. She said since all the noise complaints we recieved were his fault, that it would be acceptable.
So on Monday, the storm hits, we get "evicted". During the course of the storm though, the we, will become a he. A child is forced to grow up, and I personally do not think one should still be a child at 21. Is this vindictive of me? To set him loose on his own, with no place to go, and 1300 dollars of debt a month. I think it is, and I am alright with that.
For those of you who know me, you know that I do not normally do this. however in the current situation I am afraid that if i do not vent before i confront him, the inner deamon in me will slaughter this hapless fool.
First the background. Me and my roomate do not work on mondays. So we find various ways to entertain ourselves. I opted to spend the afternoon with my friends, David Drew and my gf bubblykimmie. He was going to go somewhere and spend money.
Before he left I told him that Kim was going to bring the kids, twin five year olds. His response was Oh god, Im going to go somewhere. He is not a kid person.
I told him that we were going to let them watch movies while the four of us, played an rpg, So now the scenary is set, at about eight, we were on the deck, the four of us playing. The kids were watching spiderman on the tv in the livingroom, so we could watch them.
So Roger gets home, takes out the movie and sits down and starts playing a game he rented. The kids came out and started complaining. I was furious, beyond furious. I put the kids in my room, so they could watch the movie.
I closed the door to a crack and called him a selfish bastard. He told me to fuck off. We havent spoken to each other since. I know i am going to tear him a new asshole. Well i cannot say i feel better after getting it off my chest, any comments?
Time rippled, it wasnt space. They clearly saw everything around them, but somehow everything was changed. The three felt older in a way, if you could consider that possible. The notion itself was ridiculous, like something from a childrens bedtime story. The afterglow from the orb lent a eery light to the ruins. There was no physical damage, so it seemed. The three cautiously wondered about, no noise, no movement, no wind. Just utter silence, the kind that makes goosebumps run down ones spine. The creature must have died upon impact, but why would the magi still be standing?
"I can answer that question" a voice boomed inside the magis head. The noise would have crippled any living mortal. The only reason the magi withstood it was because he was used to the other two voices trapped in his body.
"And your answer is?" the magi replied telepathically, looking around for a source of the new intrusion. As if the new voice could read his thoughts, there was a being there. Well what one could call a being. It was not tangible, in fact it did not look much like anything, save for a glowing cloud of dust.
"Let me clarify this matter for you magi" came the response. The dust started to swirl around, quickly becoming a figure. A head appeared, followed by a torso and two arms. This well defined creature still was quite transparent, yet now had a recognizable feature. "You summoned me from my ethereal plane, Why?"
All three shook their head in denial, this was not what they had cast. The wizard finally coming to terms with it, strode foward to face this monstrosity.
"We have not called you, it is you who came to us." The druid became red in the face, knowing his folly may have dire consequences. A booming laugh echoed through the ruins, bouncing off every surface and magnifying ten fold.
"Evidently one of your own has made a mistake, and that is why I am here, if you can defeat me I will let you live." Taken aback, from this new assault. all three prepared for their new attack. The druid asked his mother for protection, and small boulders started to float around the three. The sorcerer not up for another game just sent several lightning strikes towards the fool. The wizard sensing his partners attack borrowed the heat from the air and made fireballs to send along with the lightnings.
The laugh echoed again, and the lighning seemed to bend, and arc away. The fireballs struck home and caught the being on fire. Before they could celebrate the new arc whipped in and struck the rocks. They shattered sending dust and shrapnel all around the magi. As if by instinct the druid jumped to the side, bringing his counterparts with him. The dust cloud ignited, a deathstroke narrowly missed.
"Is that the best you have? You at least know how to fight me, but that does not better your chances in the least."
more?
