This thread and I were on a covert mission for a little known offshoot of Interpol. We'd tracked our perp, an oil baron and known serial killer active on four continents, to a non-descript area in Bahrain, but were subsequently caught up in a dust storm that left our skin rough like pulped sandpaper. My left leg, wounded in a knife fight with some Pakistani heroin dealers, was undoubtedly necrotic. I wasn't going to make it much further.
As a coughing fit purged the sand from my aching throat, I glanced up and saw the target - a mere dot on the horizon.
But who else would be out here? It had to be him.
I gripped this thread by the shoulders and looked it in the eye.
You must go on, my friend. Retrieve Azad and make sure he is tried. The thread looked at me quizzically.
You know you must, I said.
Afterwards, make sure you go to the CHUD board and squick out the insecure guys who think that posts about long-term heterosexual relationships are "gay."
The last time I saw this thread prior to it popping up here, it was bounding across the plain at a bold and confident pace. A bold and confident pace.
