This week, Trapped in Time continues after Myron Cornwinkle falls flat on his face, and then proceeds to make an ass of himself. Don't forget to visit all the other Wednesday Briefers, whose links follow my story.
Trapped in Time #3
Not that I was expecting gratitude of any sort, as we’ve
done nothing to merit it, including not allowing ourselves to be used as a
buffer between Myron and the hard ground. Frankly, my dear, I don’t care if he
breaks every bone in his miserable body—he deserves it. But I was certainly not
expecting to be excoriated in language that would not have been out of place
issuing from the lips of a group of drunken seamen in the midst of a Bacchanalian
orgy.
I especially did not expect it in the middle of a strange
jungle populated by at least one tyrannosaurus rex.
“Verdammte Schweinehund,” I mutter beneath my breath as I
reach for Vittorio’s hand. His eyes meet mine, and it’s as though an invisible
thread runs between his mind and mine, and I know just what he’s thinking. Let Myron stew in his own juices.
I bow from the waist, before offering my lover my arm. He
accepts it, and we turn away from the fuming pile of pestilence known as Myron
Cornwinkle. I cannot help but smirk, because I have every confidence that we’ve
not only not overplayed our hand, but
that we have, in fact, just gained the upper hand.
We start to slog our way through the dense undergrowth.
Large verdant fronds bestrew our path, and gnarly vines grab at our ankles,
attempting to cling, but with our arms entwined as closely as our hearts, we
manage not to fall. At the last moment, we veer away from a particularly damp
and earthy looking patch of ground that may or may not be quicksand—it’s best
not to take any chances.
We’ve barely skirted the potential trap when we hear a noise
behind us. We collectively turn our heads to behold Myron scrambling after us.
By dint of sheer luck, he avoids stepping in the swampy morass, but trips over
a thick vine, and tumbles at our feet. I suppress a snicker.
Myron begins to swear again, but all I can make out is “nibcocked.”
Before I can protest his language—more particularly the inference implied in
that insult, which I’m positive is directed at me—Vittorio reaches down, grabs
Myron by the shirt, twisting it about his fist as he lifts him bodily from the
ground to dangle helplessly in the air once again.
“Myron, we do not appreciate that sort of language.” He
brings the trembling man’s face close to his, staring into his pale eyes. I can
hear Vittorio’s upset in the cadence of his words; when he gets emotional, his
speech becomes more and more Italian, more passionate. Especially when we are making love together. Ach mein Gott!
Myron is flailing his arms, but it’s useless—about as
useless as the tiny arms of the dinosaur we just saw. Myron’s no match against
Vittorio’s strength, not when he’s been angered. More fool Myron for getting on
Vittorio’s bad side—my lover is all that stands between him and my own ire.
“Also, you do not have knowledge of Doll’s physical
attributes that you shall make such a statement. And if I ever learn that you
have such knowledge, I will not be responsible for what I do to you!”
Myron’s squeaking now, and I fear he is in imminent danger
of losing bladder control which, while humorous, is not something that I wish
to witness. Or smell.
“Don’t worry, I don’t want to see his dong, I swear it!”
Vittorio releases his hold on Myron and he crashes to the ground. But not
before I hear the rest of his statement—“Only yours.”
That does it! I’ve had enough of this addlepated Arschloch!
Uttering a tremendous roar, my limbs stiffen as I prepare to pounce on Myron
and trounce him to within an inch of his worthless life. I coil like a deadly
spring, and then I release myself at him, prepared to inflict serious damage, only
to find my flight arrested by Vittorio, who has handily caught me up in his
loving arms.
“No, no, Doll, no, no,” he chides me gently, covering my
face with tender kisses in order to distract me from my direst of intentions.
It succeeds as I succumb to his charms—as usual.
He continued to soothe me until I cease to tremble—from
anger, anyway—and he sets me on my feet once more, keeping a protective arm
about me.
Myron has backed himself against a tree; he stares at me with
a most sullen expression.
I look lovingly up at my tall beauty. “I shall apologize,” I
murmur, for I know he wishes no enmity between us, and I have no wish to upset
him. He nods his affirmation, and leans down to offer me his sweet lips. I kiss
him and pat his soft cheek; his eyes glow and I know he is pleased. Then I take
a step toward Myron, followed by another one. I put out my hand tentatively, in
the way that one first approaches a wild animal one is unsure of, in order to
engender its trust. His eyes are filled with nothing but suspicion.
“Bitte entschuldigen Sie,” I say clearly, loud enough for
Vittorio to hear. Please accept my
apologies. And then I lower my voice to a level that only Myron can hear. “If
you ever dare to look at Vittorio in that way, or any part of him, I shall
slice yours off and use it for knackwurst. Verstehen Sie das?” He nods his
frightened understanding. I smile and return to my love.
“Thank you, Doll,” he whispers and rewards me with a kiss.
I feel better now, having gotten that unpleasantness over
with. Myron is muttering to himself, but we ignore him, wrapped up in one
another, ‘til suddenly we hear him exclaim, “Great googly moogly! My wand!”
He snaps his suspenders loudly; several birds are flushed
from a nearby bush as he begins to run—right into the quicksand!

Much as I can't help but think let the bastard sink, I think Myron is their best chance of getting out of there so I guess they should at least keep him alive
