The friend said... Well, let me see. You are not a nice man You are a nasty man You became nasty when you realised you had a size advantage You had no father to teach you that power was a responsibility, not a weapon... Then you proceeded to get what you wanted by more or less taking it... from the weaker than you... Then your wife finally had enough of your bullshit and ways, and she left you Taking your daughter..... This made you feel angry and vengeful..... Then she found someone else and you were humiliated Because he had been more successful than you in life.... Not by smashing and taking from smaller... No, he did it with wit and style.... You then started trying to forget about it... You became bitter, lost your job.... Because of that bitterness To much for anyone in charge of your workday... Then you were stuck Here In this cell of a place.... So you became electric.... You whiled away the hours looking at the land.... Judging the terrain... Realising your anonymity.. The second chance arose.... You thought, I could start again... Didn't you.... The man raised the magazine, the other smiled. The thing nodded. The friend raised the magazine... The speaker held up his hand... The thing cowered ... Where was I, yes, starting again... You did... You went to an electric friend finding machine.... It found you some people to see... But you spoke to them on the cables and wires and they didn't like you.... Well why would they? Look at what you ooze.... This made you even more angry than before... So you turned on them.... Made their lives a misery for not wanting you.... A single tear started to well up in the things eye... Then you found you liked it didn't you... watching them cry and ask why? You liked the taste of it, didn't you... The thing nodded Yes, the power, It, nodded again.... At which point the thus far un-animated friend lunged forward and kneed him square in the face.. The friend speaking looked at him,shaking his head slowly. The man stepped back to his position, in apology, for interrupting.. Well, said the speaker.... You have upped your game haven't you, That widow you tormented hung herself three days ago.. And you even trolled that didnt you...... The thing didnt move.... The speaker stopped.. Looked up at the glass panel above the door... It was getting light.... People would be in the hallway.... Going to work.... He looked back at the thing.... He leaned down, the thing lent away... The speaker said... If you own an internet connection again... We will know... Thats who we are... The friends electric.... Remember this fact.... The speaker went on...... If you do decide to return........ We will come to where you are..... And I'm not a very good dentist.....I'm afraid... They all stood up... And in one move were at the gate, then the car, then gone... A bird tweeted... All was well... As they drove down the motorway in silence the car started to glisten and cracking noises could be heard...... Flashes...... They were gone... As they walked out of the cloud, Across the field.... They saw the people.... The widow had gone..... but her name wasn't.... What was left of her life carried on and the people carried on, Waiting for the next time.... Waiting for the stench to return... But so did the friends... Only they waited with glee..... Its fun for the friends electric....... That's what the new man at the office said...... As he told them about his new wife and his wonderful stepdaughter... []
In the light of the doorway stood a child... The child enquired after her father... The mans face returned to human.... He said... well your daddy has a terrible tooth ache. Oh, said the little girl. yes, said the friend.. He called us to come and help him... hmmm, as she thought.... are you a dentist, she added.... The friend said Yes, I'm a dentist. Why can't you tell All my patients say I look like a dentist.. He grinned.. The girl smiled... he smiled, some more.... He said, why don't you go back to bed As he did, he leant back and gestured towards the it.... The it winced a smiling face... When we are finished Daddy will come and show you what a good job we have done... Again the it agreed with a enthusiastic nod. She nodded, Then returned...the door to her room left slightly open.... The friend turned to his associates... they all looked at each other..... It was going so well, they thought... But wait the faces had all changed....... The thing on the settee, looked at the them.... its eyes pleading... The friend withdrew the coffee table literature. It choked out, the always word.......PLEASE! How many times has that been said and fallen on deaf ears ... 39 to count.... thought the friend to himself. But this time was different..... There were small ears present..... paying attention... The friend in the chair swivelled back round returning to his exact and original position... Slowing down as he arrived there... When he had He stopped for a moment.. It seemed an eternity, To the, it. The friend with those knowing eyes, looked right into the thing....... He said, we should go outside, his eyebrows raised very high..... They all agreed this was a great idea, enthusiastically.... The air would do him good After his procedure.... Yes... it would make him feel much better ..... He could say goodbye, while out there... Off they all went out the door of the flat and, into the hallway.. The thing sat on a chair next to a pay-phone with a lock on it. It sat there... in its robe and undercrackers... Its head in one hand and its elbow on the table the phone was on. It looked up holding its throat.... Yeah it was big, but fat... out of shape..... But was used to being a bully.... the men knew that..... its easy to spot in moments... The friend who gave him the reason to hold its neck said.. Why dont you tell me who that is.... It said its my daughter... She stays with me every other weekend.... She is the only reason I live here.... Its near her mother... And her new partner.... The man stopped him... He said... The new partner ... Tell me about him... The thing said he was a nice man , kind... The friend said...... So everything you are not....? The thing knew it was rhetorical from the moment it was said... The friend said, have you been respectful to this man? The thing said no... The friend said, have you given this man reason to think you will hurt him, or do something to his wife? The thing nodded... At that point the friend standing to left of him whacked him round the head with the magazine he was still holding.... The thing said, yes, yes i have... So, said the friend..... Let me take a stab at what is happening, may I... The thing nodded, the magazine friend hit him again, The thing said, yes... Immediately it was hit again, much harder... The thing understood, it was all going to be rhetorical questions from here on...
As they approached him standing in his place at the top of the stairs, he nodded at the house.... They all smiled.... They waited for people to put on the dinner and the kettle... They waited for the eyelids of the hardworking to shut Then they waited some more..... While they did, The great and good from the magic electric kingdom relayed to them, there had been no return of the beast..... All was quiet.... They of course knew this......didn't they..! The lights went out, the windows misted up, the cold came The friends stirred themselves.... They let loose there ethereal angst ..... Their faces, changed to the grim..... The eyes darkened.... hardened....... what came next was no place for soft eyes.... They approached the house, all three in a line down the centre of the road No need for any stealth now..... They will do what they say, anyway.. Just time..... That is the factor of the moment..... The decider..... How long they would have until the light sleepers awoke..... And pushed buttons....... In turn how long the before the buttons brought the robots..... That was all now....... The only factor....Victor.... They approached the door, now in darkness, As they did a security light came on.... They arrived at the door Looked at the camera, and pushed another button... The light went on on the ground floor.... Some dull thuds were heard and the door opened The thing stood there belligerent , As it did, the man standing in the front of the quiet triangle extended his arm straight out with such speed the security camera missed it.... As he drew it back from the things neck pipe.. As it clutched... They entered, it stumbled backwards grasping its throat.... choking quietly... They were lucky........ for once........ they were in....... they had it..... it was incapacitated......... The second of the men pushed and shoved the thing to the open door of the downstairs apartment...... Inside they pushed and tripped it onto the settee.... The last man, Who was the first man Looked through the gap As he shut the door... He sat down in the opposite chair.... to the settee.... One of the other friends sat down on the legs of the thing The other grabbed its wrists Turned them opposed to the joints Bent its arms back over the armrest on the other end of the settee... The thing just choked as the first man removed his gloves .... Smiling politely He asked the things name.... The thing choked out some words.....not the ones needed... So again the man said What is your name We may have the wrong man If this is the case My friend there holding your arms will let go..... I will then stand up.... and give you ten thousand pounds...... This is a fact..... But if we are right.... And I will say we have not been wrong thus far.... You will be having a night to remember... So, would you like to play.... or shall we just look for Id in this flat? In a vigorous and somewhat mischievous manner... The thing nodded... It said its name......... Oh dear, said the friend That means our reputation remains unscathed...... At which point the man sitting on its legs Brought his fist down squarely on the things nose... A loud crack, Blood everywhere... As it gargled a scream... The same man stuffed a magazine in its mouth Which he had been rolling up, while the familiar scene continued to unfold in front of him.... Suddenly behind the man who spoke a door opened He spun round in the seat already starting to stand... As he did, he obscured the scene behind him...
The men walked along the street..... Surveyed the area .... Considered the situation.... How long they would have Who they would have to deal with.. What tactics, legal or illegal , they would have to deal with... Maybe none. But they know never prepare to fail.. Turning their heads together apart like cameras As doing so they attracted no attention.... They were not impressive in stance or size..... Just so........ Just average. In fact the only thing that was of note about them They were all in suits.. Sunglasses in top pocket.. They returned to their car.. Twenty meters down the street was a house... It was the biggest house in the street, but not a single dwelling.. These were flats, a cheap rough conversion.... Bad sound proofing Decor on the cheap... The thing they chased sat in one of those flats.... They waited and watched .... A man emerged in the evening, he was big, thick set... He hurried down the street... Their car started not a word said.... It moved down the street.... Just far enough back Not be noticed... The thick set man got into a taxi, it moved off down the street, Their car backed into its space They emerged, Went straight to the flat, one of them ran a finger down the bells with the names on paper.. checked the name address, They looked at their photographs... Yes this is him , No doubt. They went to a local restaurant, and sat to eat..... Knowing "it" has to come back sometime.... When they had eaten they went to a shop and bought some tobacco.... Returned to the street Their car was parked in ..... But not to the car... They stayed on the main road above, At the top of a long flight of stares, they stood The stairs led to the road below which emerged from under the one they stood on. They rolled their cigarettes and smoked.... The traffic moving behind them, one looked down at the house.... One looked up the main road the stood on... The last at the road below them... One turned and tapped another A taxi was approaching.... Down the main road, indicating it was turning right down the hill to the road below, it passed their backs, and turned. They waited... It did not round the corner as anticipated, at the bottom... One walked that way, one walked another..... and one stayed there. A police car came down the main road, it slowed in the traffic and the occupants glanced across at the lone well dressed man..... No need to stop...... The occupants thought.... No baseball cap Or Dreads....... Money......honest crime....... They drove on, as the traffic moved..... The man looked back just to see the thick set man enter the door of the house His back , same coat. As it went in the doorway. The silent friend waited He waited for his two friends to turn round and come back Which, they of course did They were ELECTRIC friends , after all.
THE THREE FRIENDS ELECTRIC.... Three friends were three men that worked an unusual, work..... Their jobs were separate and the same... They came to the cooler on days in the office .... The ping pong tournament was a competition for them... One day a man came He asked them, as they stood together and laughed, if they would like some more fun... Fun with an edge ....with a taste .... They were in this business for the taste and the taste had become sour The good was thin where it used to be thick, in there deeds.... So they agreed to put the spring back in the step... The man said, there were people that inhabited a place.... It was a huge place, a field of sorts, with little cover for a vulnerable soul...... In the field, all the people met and shared foolishely there joys and woes.... When the predators came They just had to hang on to the ground for their life So they couldn't be held up for the silly things we all do , Exposing all to the throng... For titilation of the loin.. The throng hated it as they watched.... To watch..... Wondering when if it was there turn.... How horrible it would be... So the man asked the men.... will you come here and wait.... When you see the dark thing rise..... Could you swallow and follow.... Then sit calmly before a storm of your own making And watch..... And when it comes again...... Attack it with vengeance and spite for all the souls..... scratch it, beat it to within an inch of its life..... Could..... You. The men looked at each other.... They said yes... we can.... The day of the day came .... The hide was set by them men Them men, sat...... Waited.... The people came about their business.... The day went to near end and a tragedy broke... The people spoke of it, Offered there condolences and the widow walked away.... Comforted to a point that her husband was liked and people understood the grief.... Out came the moon, as the sun was leaving... The people were going home..... nearly to bed... The temperature dropped.. Them men breathed it in The cold air They held that breath... And it came..... The stench of the thing...... It grabbed the woman by her very feelings. The string in the love, for a man ... Stretched out that delicate string and mercilessly scratched its serrated tongue up and down it Poured filth on them... her feelings.. The woman screamed...... All the people, didnt know what to do.... But they could do nothing.... Where is it this assailant.... They see her anguish, they know the monster is there... But as it came it went........ gone...... She was empty, just a bag of flesh Any faith in her fellow man, torn from her.... But wait... In the commotion..... Of the exit ...... Three in the throng were gone.... They had there sunglasses on... They could see with these glasses.... They ran the way it ran... Moved the way it moved.. Followed it to the edge.. Followed, when it stepped into the pipe of filth .......and out of the magic.... To a suburban house in Portsmouth........England.....
