Waiting for the Fall
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 45587
|
More minutes elapsed, each instant of boredom like a hot knife slashing
at Fred's brain, until he suddenly screamed and got up, knocking over the
chairs. "Why won't it fall!!" Fred sobbed, stumbling toward the poster
and falling to his knees before it. He clawed at the wall but dared not
touch the poster itself, for if he caused it to fall it would
have defeated his original purpose. "Fall!" Fred sobbed. "Falling! Fallacious! A fallacy!! Damn you! Damn you to heck!!" Suddenly he heard footsteps outside, and someone coughing softly. Had someone finally come to end his wait? Ah, but that could not be, for then he would never witness the poster fall! Fred crouched like a cat and gripped the pommel of his sword, then heard voices outside. "We've moved the containment pods to Tanstaafl 8 for security purposes." "I've gathered the data you need, and I'm running it through translation. What should we do in the meanwhile?" "For now, we can do nothing but wait. Wait for the fall." Fred supressed a neurotic twitch.
