Walsh came by mom's with Mavis. Mom is babysitting her tonight yet again.

Mavis-:"You here again?"

Me-:"Internet is out at my place."

Walsh-:"Half the city's internet is out." he laughed then as he was handing my cousin her overnight bag. "Speaking of, how's the fairy tale?"

Me-:"Possibly ruined. Thanks for asking."

Mavis was climbing on him trying to hang off his neck. "Why do you say that?"

Me-:"I'm thinking I'm stuck. I wrote a few things in the story and now I'm not sure how to tie them together. So stuckage."

Walsh-:"Everything else okay? Haven't seen much on the thing." he said gesturing towards the computer, Mavis sliding down him nearly falling on her butt.

Me-:"I haven't been okay in years. Yourself?"

He just nodded, all his attention taken by his sister still trying to climb on him like monkey bars. "Dad said to give her a bath.". Mom asked him about his other sister. "She's back in the hospital. I see your boys have been on a loosing streak lately."

Me-:" Way to change the topic. Not for long, I'm sure."  Walsh said goodnight to Mavis, and then just stood there waiting for a few minutes looking lost.  "Walsh, are you needing a smoke break or something?"

Walsh-:"Yes please."   We went outside so that he could have his cigarette.  "Tell me something happy."

Me-:"Mom finally got a new computer. That's happy. There's a new delivery guy who looks to be around 30ish. That's in the happy category. Otherwise, I've got nothing."

Walsh-:"Then tell me about whatever. Anything."

Me-:"Once upon a time, in a dark and lonely place, there was a beautiful queen who was in love with the idea of being in love. Only, all the white knights were gay or married and the beautiful queen was just simply alone and out of luck. But one day, a wise old witch came through the village and offered to give the beautiful queen a special magic scroll tucked into an arrow owned by cupid, and the special magic scroll tucked into an arrow owned by cupid was destined to find the beautiful queen's true love. All she had to do was shoot it during a full moon and it would find the beautiful queen's true love. And so she did as she was instructed and shot the special magic scroll tucked into an arrow owned by cupid into the sky under the full moon and waited. Before long, a handsome young knight introduced himself to the beautiful queen, having been hit by the arrow and read the scroll. He handed it to her, told her his name, and they lived happily ever after but only for three nights a month under the full moon."

Walsh was laughing his ass off at me, three shades of red, his eyes watering which ended up sticking to his face cause it was freezing out.  "and let me guess, his name was Johnathan?"

Me-:"Don't be silly. It was MoonDoggy.  MoonDoggy Spottles the fifth, the grey knight. And he was a grey knight not a white knight because he'd passed his second level exams in the grande knighthood."  Walsh was nearly peeing himself he was laughing so hard.  "You said tell you anything."
