Under the Caribbean Moon

“I am here with an urgent message. Your friend the Golden One has passed on,” Detective Dewalt relays.

“I dreaded this day. A few nights past I felt his spirit in the camp,” Zenith reveals.

“He didn’t die in vain. We know who his killer is,” Detective Dewalt states.

“Good work, Mr. American policeman. Make sure he pays the price your country asks of him,” Zenith confers.

“We will see to it. One thing I care to know is what he was exactly after during his stay?”

“Are the silver mines not enough of a reason?” Zenith asks.

“Respectfully, no. I don’t believe the Golden One was concerned with silver at all. I believe he was after something else,” Detective Dewalt presses.

Zenith stand up from the bonfire and his men rise as well. He motions his legion to stand at ease.

“Come with me,” Zenith urges.

They take a path near the water. Detective Dewalt, and Zenith stand shoulder to shoulder overlooking the majesty of the islands under the Caribbean moon. The stars in the heavenly sky above are the only ones eavesdropping.

Zenith is looking up, “You ask, what he visited us for?”

“Yes. I must know.”

“He came for power,” Zenith growls.

Forgive Them
What would you say if asked to try to forgive someone right now?

Why not?

If forgiveness is all you request from me then surely you may have it. Making things right is what we're all tasked with.

Catalyst Asshat
Often times assholes will be our greatest inspirations. Write about a total asinine jerk who's tickled your rancor enough to make you write instead of kill them.

Lard Ass

Sitting around bitching by the coffee pot I should have pissed in. Yelling about nothing while he's built like Thanksgiving stuffing. Probably gets no loving with his belly and chin so repulsing. A disgusting blob eating his bag of Dorito chips and having a cow. Talks down on others when they turn their back. He's so damn loud in the morning I think he's smoking crack. If he's not gimping around he's pimping Trump to you. Funny thing is Trump wouldn't want anything to do with him or his shitty attitude. He's lucky I'm a nice guy and don't demand some gratitude.
