I See Dead People -PG--Champagne Challenge 130.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 10:37 pm
Hello it has been over a year since I have written any fic. RL has gotten in the way and I finally made my way back here and was immediately drawn in by the Champagne challenge. Guillermo muse was the first to jump up and want to get us back writing again. It is not my best...but the muses are a bit rusty. Hope you enjoy.
I SEE DEAD PEOPLE
Guillermo was glad to swipe out after a long night of work in the morgue, which had followed a long, hard few weeks. Not only was it the end of his shift but it was the beginning of his long earned and long awaited vacation. He smiled at the thought of getting away from the morgue, with all its stresses and smells. It did not take him long to get to the hotel room he had rented and into the shower. He washed away all the morgue scents as he felt the stress drip off him with the water.
He had no real plans for his week off, just playing it by ear and relaxing doing whatever he felt like. He clicked on the TV and settled into the big comfortable arm chair. The first thing to come on was the late news talking about two dead bodies that had washed up on the beach. Guillermo growled and flipped the station, but that only brought him to a 24 hour marathon of “Dr.’G’ Medical Examiner”. He tried one more station and found only ‘CSI’. The remote was tossed at the TV as he got up; there were more things he could do to relax besides watching TV.
Guillermo grabbed a bottle of his favorite O+ and settled on his balcony over-looking the beach to watch the dawn break. But instead of seeing the sunrise, he got a bird’s eye view of the local police handling a fatal car crash below. The morgue guys were just pulling up to haul away the body. He slammed the rest of the blood back like a shot of whiskey and grumbled as he went back inside. He rolled his shoulders and sighed, a few dead bodies were not going to ruin this vacation. Guillermo slipped into the freezer determined to make the next night much more fun.
The next night he rose with dusk and ate breakfast without turning on the TV or looking outside, no sense in tempting the fates again. There were 6 more nights of vacation and he was going to make the best of them. After thinking over his options a nice relaxing hike through the mountain trails sounded the best. He packed a few bottles of blood and headed out.
He was enjoying the quiet of the nighttime woods when it hit him. He groaned and shook his head. No…it can’t be. But as he walked closer the vampire senses could not be denied, there it was in all its half decomposed glory…another dead body. He growled loudly and vamped away, wanting nothing to do with death while on vacation. He headed back to his room and settled back into that comfy chair where he turned on a movie…but of course the only one on was “The Bone Collector”. Normally one of his favorites about forensics and murder, but not now it wasn’t, not on vacation. He gave up and headed to the freezer.
The next few nights went the same way, no matter what Guillermo did there was always a dead body in sight, or scent. From the fight at the club, to the breaking news about the double murder down the street, Mick calling him for advice on the murder case he was on, even the discovery of the suicide victim in the hotel room next to his. His last night he spent in his room, curtains drawn, TV off, phone smashed to bits, just sitting in that chair staring into space. His whole vacation had been nothing but one dead body after another; could he never get away from it?
Guillermo returned to work, not relaxed, not rejuvenated, and grumpy as hell. Terrance was there waiting for him watching the TV. He handed over the night’s assignments to Guillermo and then pointed to the TV.
“Good movie G…I will leave it on for you. It’s called “Sixth Sense” about this kid who sees dead people.”
Guillermo snarled and tossed the clipboard at the TV breaking it, then glared at Terrance. Who held up his hands in defense and vamped out the door.
He shook his head and then went about the work that did not seem to want to leave him alone. “Some getaway...” He grumbled to himself.
