From my current WIP. Kelli is out at Riker's and is waiting to talk to the man that shot her partner. His Public Defender is starting to get under her skin. She has just asked one of the guards what is taking so long and he rushes off to find out.

Oooh, tarak, very vivid. I could almost smell it. Nice! Gross, but a good line.

Guardian - I think magic explains a lot of things. Like the internet.
Ask (sort of) and you shall receive. Here's that image. It needs to be creepier though, I think. Quote:

From my new WIP Eye of the Beholder, I just started today:
"Todd Marchant may not look like much, but he had us chasing our tails for too long.” Lauren grinned. “Now now he'll have to watch his tail in prison.”

And this one, also from Eye of the Beholder.
Todd looked at her, hopefully. “What did she say?” Lauren grinned. “Oh, you don't want to know. I wouldn't want to lower your masculinity any further.”

As HJ pointed out, not my lines. that would be tarak. I don't do "Horror", just murder and mayhem.

As the first trooper on the accident scene, Frank knew it would be bad, but after twenty years and hundreds of vehicle crashes he was pretty much inured to the sanguine spectacle. However, he had come to hate the civilians who stared, the rubberneckers and looky-loos who slowed down to gawk and say the most stupid-assed things... like this sedan slowing to a creep.
"Wow! Holy Shit! Is everybody all right?" He knew he shouldn't do it, but some ironic sense of righteous indignation lifted his arm toward the rolling car, his hand gripping the severed head by the blood-matted hair. "Well, this guy's not doing too good." As the car sped off, Frank knew he'd be having an uncomfortable meeting with his captain at shift change. But what the hell - it'd been worth it. |

Ken, I can't take credit for the inspiration. I knew a guy on the job who pulled a similar stunt (with a different body part) - and got suspended for five days. Needless to say, he was a squadroom hero and destined to become an urban legend in LE circles.

Mike, I agree that's a great little segment.

There's no crime in taking inspiration from real life events and tweaking them to fit in our stories.

One of my all time favourite scenes in my all time favourite sitcoms is based on an incident that actually happened. It makes the scene all the funnier knowing that!
![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFuYIi5-igc This is the scene I mean.
