I'm slowly bringing out snippets from "Genesis," a story that I'd written long ago. So, if you didn't catch the previous snippets,catch the story so far
Well, things are getting downright exciting...and a bit scary. Even Aston knows how dumb it is to face down a Gohr, as anyone who's read Friends in Deed can attest to. But Gabriel is on a mission, and it's time to see who has the strongest will:
There was no fear evident as Gabriel turned to face the beast. “That was the past. You’d do well to leave it there.”
“No, I think I’ll help myself right here in the present.” The burly behemoth wrapped his hand around the top of the satchel.
Gabriel’s hand jerked out and clamped down on Azrael’s fur-laden arm. His tone was low, but still calm and collected as he stood. “These funds are for the Lord’s work. I strongly urge you to take a different course of action.”
Be sure to come back next week for yet another installment. Again, I always enjoy your comments!
Maybe the Gohr could give up on the money and consider it a charitable contribution, since it's for the Lord's work.
ReplyDeleteAlright, in one corner we've got a big, and quite terrifying creature. In the other: a calm and collected human. I'm thinking that if a human is brave ebough to stand up to dripping jowls and jutting teeth, he's a bad ass. Gohr, let go of the satchel. I think your hand and/or face is in danger. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tension. Can't wait to see the resolve.
Patrick, I don't think the Gohr give the same exemptions to taxation...they're big on war, and have to pay for all that... ;-)
ReplyDeleteJM, I think you're right...though I think we might be seeing a DEM ending, so people might be disappointed. :-D
Great! I'm going to have to go back and read more. These beasts have me curious
ReplyDeleteThey're definitely not anyone I'd want to hang around, that's for sure...
ReplyDeleteSomehow I question whether Gabriel is really any more human than the Gohr.
ReplyDeleteI think he has a more human appearance than the Gohr... :-)
ReplyDeleteThese aren't the Gohr you're looking for... what?
ReplyDeleteGabriel is absolutely fascinating and I think your boys are wondering right about now what they've landed in the middle of.
They might also be wondering what it is that feels so funny (and smells so bad) in their shorts... :-D
ReplyDeleteDon't mess with the Lord's work. You wouldn't like him when he's grumpy.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood stuff!! Now, I don't know the bible too well, but I can't help but picture the David and Goliath scene. Nice tension building up here!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I don't want to mess with a Gohr!!
ReplyDeleteWell, it's sort of like David and Goliath, except Gabriel wasn't as innocent as David was at that moment. :-D
ReplyDeleteJessica, I wouldn't either... ;-)
