Subject: May 2008 HBX Challenge FF: Doing Harm


This scene is done in all dialog. It’s something I’m trying out as an exercise. I was challenged to do this, as it is supposed to help my “audience” picture the scene in their own minds, and in different ways. Let me know what you think. Mac speaks first.

This is written as the May 2008 HBX challenge. It’s unedited and unbetaed all mistakes are my own.
Honest Feedback is always appreciated.

*Sometime way before the Gorilla gained so much weight*

“Turn over.”

“Why?”

“Because I can’t do you if you’re lying like that.”

“But I’m comfortable like this.”

“Stop being a grump! The angle isn’t right. If we’re going
to do this…”

“Hey it wasn’t my idea, you know. I was perfectly…”

“…in agony when I found you.”

“I wasn’t in ‘agony’, I just had a…stiff muscle.”

“A ‘stiff muscle’ doesn’t have you reaching for the Vicodin.
And speaking of…stiff. Turn over so we can do this.”

“Were you always this bossy, or are you trying something new?”

“I’m as bossy as you are stubborn, and I believe it’s also true vice versa. Now are you going to turn over, or do I have to use my feminine wiles to bend you to my will?”

“You have wiles? I never noticed.”

“I keep them in storage for special occasions.”

“And finding me in my apartment minding my own business constitutes a special occasion?”

“Finding you bent in half, frantically searching for narcotics constitutes an emergency. Now please turn over.”

“Fine, but this isn’t necessary Mac. Really you don’t have to do this just because it’s been a long time since I’ve been…Ahhh.”

“What’s wrong? Are you okay? Do you want me to move off of you?”

“No…uh, no, it’s fine. I just…Ahhh, I uh…just didn’t realize you were so good at this. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Need to know.”

“I guess I needed to know.”

“Nah, then you’d be after me all the time to help you work out the kinks. Damn you’re stiff! When’s the last time you had this done?”

“I can’t remember. At least not when I didn’t have to pay for it. Ah, down a little. Oh my…that’s amazing. Where did you learn this?”

“I picked up different parts of my technique here and there. And the golden rule takes over where the training leaves off.”

“Golden…right there, ah… golden rule?”

“I’m doing to you what I like to have done to me.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Good, now I’m going to go lower, let me know if this works for you.”

“AHH! Holy Mother of…that feels incredible! You’re amazing! Marry me Mac, have my babies.”

“Okay, but first I’ve got to finish what I’m doing.”

“Oh, don’t let me keep you from your work. I’m sure when you’re finished I’ll be walking again after a year or so…”

“Only if I do my job right. Now just relax and let me do this for you…”

“I don’t know how much more relaxed I can get.”

“Just wait.”

*The next day* *Mac’s office*

“You’re looking better.”

“Thanks to you. I don’t know what exactly you did to me, but you’re a miracle worker.”

“Good I’m glad it worked for you.”

“I’m sorry I fell asleep on you.”

“It’s okay I expected that.”

“I was hoping I wouldn’t, I…I wanted to talk to you afterward.”

“Oh? About what?”

“Well…It occurs to me that in the midst of my…bliss…I proposed to you.”

“Harm, it’s okay you don’t have to…”

“I…I want to. I…meant what I said. And not just because you were wrapped around me with your hands all over me. Though God knows that would be reason enough. I thought about it, when I woke up, and you weren’t there, and I realized I never want to wake up like that again. Without you. Not if I can help it. I just…love you Mac. I just…so…love you.”

“Harm I…Wow! I…don’t know what to say.”

“Well…I was in a fog, but I do remember when I asked, that you agreed. If you want to go back on that, now would be the time to tell me.”

“I still don’t know what to say, except…Harm, I so love you too. Now, shut the door.”

“Why? Are you going to show me your wiles?”

“I thought you didn’t notice my wiles.”

“I lied.”

End of scene. Good? Bad? Chapulines? Let me know.
