| Left Passage |
| {Rob steps throught the passage to the left of th camp fire as Jimmy Blast starts laughing rather evilishly. Osbourne is now standing in the middle of the small Arab Island country of Bahrain. Standing befor hims is the modest royal home of the crown prince, Mohammed Shirazi, his former friend, co worker, and one time boss. Playing in the background oif his own mind, unable to realize that it is a soundtrack for the setting his mind has chosen, Rob osbourne hears "The End" by the Doors. The desert sand whisps in the wind as the waves of the Persian Gulf pound the shoreline just ahead of him. The sun is beating down on his eyes like fireballs. He reaches for his shirt pocket and for the first time in ten years he doesnt have his Oakley's. Shit. he thinks to himself. I'm asleep. He puts his hand over his eyes to shade the sun a tad and walks towards the compound in front of him. Ashe approaches the gates Mo Shirazi greets him and welcomes him inside. They go into the air conditioned hme and sit on a rug, as servants prepare a tea.} |
| Rob: Mo? Mo: Yes Rob, it is I. My it has been quite awhile has itnot. Praise Allah, we have had thi chance to see each other as men past 30. You know my friend, there was a time when i thought your addictions would get the best of you and you may never make it to this age. What brings you to Bahrain my friend? Rob: Mo, this is all a dream. Mo: Nonsense my friend, i was just watching on satelite tabout the return of stars from our era to the CWF. My my how the Hotshot would fare these days there. I distinctly recall them speaking about you just as I dozed off for my afternoon na.... Rob: See. Creepy huh? Mo: Indeed. Shall we remember this dream tomorrow my old friend? Rob: I guess that remains to be seen. I need to know if you have any preminition's about me, any thoughts? Mo: Why do you ak? Rob: Because before I came through some weird dream portal here, i was in the woods with Jimmy Blast... Mo: So the rumors WERE true? Rob: What? No, god no. Jesus Mo, who spread that one? Mo: Who else? Rob: maniac eh? Fuck him. He'll do good to make it past my brother and if he does, there won't be enough left of him to go on against me. And that will be his excuse. The very thing he says is the reason he should get the first shot at MY title. So, I am saying it right now, Maniac Vs. Rob Osbourne if I win as well. Mo: Funny you shoud mention that, I just had a meeting with my old business partners about some oil ventures we are now trying to negotiate with the US PResident George Bush and... Rob: Soon to be ex-President you mean. Mo: Yes indeed, which is the reason we were finishing the deals before Kerry gets elected. Bush is corrupt and Kerry is better for the Americans, but Bush is better for the good Arab countries you know. Anyhow , we were talking about how you and The Edge started the demise of the MWWF when the EWA was born at Stayin' Alive...ironically named event I must say. Rob: Now that is some fucked up shit Mo, because I passed out watching that show looping on dvd. What were you all talking about? Mo: Oh, i am so glad you asked. We were discussing the propehtic signs if you will that should have shown us what was to hapen, if we had paid attention and seen it coming, hell, we were just all sitting back and collecting the checks you and Tige, Edge, Maniac, Blast, and Cremins were putting in our bank accounts. But had we kept our, oh what is the expression the American Cowboys use...kept our ear to the ground , yes, that is it, we would have heard the coming sounds of The End. Oh no Rob...my alarm is going off on my watch, I am about to wake up. i guess you shall return to Mr. Blast now. I surely do hope I will remember this event. Be well my friend. |
