The Green Bean

[kellychaos]

So there I was "mano a mano" ... eyes locked with my vile, green enemy. Having noticed my grim determination and the set of my jaw, he relented and whined, "Forsooth, have mercy on me kind sir. I can explain and, can assure you that, not only will you be interested in the mission charged to me but also that the fate of your world depends on it!". I smirked at his sense of self-importance but, at the same time, I was intrigued by what preposterous yarn may ensue. Beings under duress of the possibility of death tell the best stories. He sensed my intrigue and was ready to continue but then a bitter face emerged out of the little bean ... doubtless due to my patronizing tone. "Scowl if you must, you little shit! I'm trying to help you pathetic creatures in this dimension. If you want to take me seriously, so be it. I will continue. If not, then kill me now as I have no care either way. The choice is yours!" I was taken aback. "I'm sorry", I murmurred, as I picked the bean up and place him on a paper towel next to the pepper shaker, "Please continue".
