Live, Love, and Hate – by Orpheus

 

Week 29 – More bits of conversation with Eurydice

 

“But I have to go dinosaur hunting with them,” I pleaded.

 

“No, you don’t, you just want to. I’m just afraid that if you go with them, I’ll never see you again,” Eurydice answered.

 

“I’ll come back, I promise. There’s nothing that could ever keep me from you.”  I didn’t know just how wrong that statement was. I wouldn’t see her for about three months after that dream.

 

“Well, it looks like he isn’t here,” I mumbled to myself after searching in the L row for [Lancelot] for what seemed like hours

 

“Well, that’s too bad,” she replied, putting her right hand on my left shoulder. She was, as she always seems to be, standing on my left side. It’s kinda funny when you consider that in the olden days, the left side was associated with evil for some reason or another (I haven’t a clue what that reason is). But I suppose that when you consider what Eurydice did later on, the positioning of her on the side of evil would be a little more appropriate.

 

“[Orpheus] and [Eurydice]!” the short girl shouted, banging her fist on the table with more force than I would have thought she could muster, “Just like Orpheus and Eurydice! Do you see [R] anywhere in that myth? Was it [R] that Orpheus went to the underworld to save? NO! It was Eurydice!”

 

“Listen, you’re NOT REAL!”

 

“I don’t care! I’ll find a way to MAKE myself real!”

 

“You’re a filthy, filthy beast.”

 

That’s it for Week 29.
