This was more of an editing and procrastinating week for me, but this did fit nicely with the newest story my friend wants me to write. Based on us noticing that in most Bond movies, the villain has an underground lair with a shark and a monorail. We wondered if there was a 2 for 1 special on at Villains R Us.
Favourite writing from this week:
Q led a puzzled Tanner up the stairs and opened the closet door. He walked inside and stood next to the water heater. “Come along.”
Tanner frowned, but stood next to his friend.
Q reached up and pressed a button hidden on the ceiling. The door closed and the floor slowly sank down. “If you have that list on your phone, you might want to pull it up. I'd be curious to see how many things I remembered.”
Tanner started to pull up the list when the brightness changed and he promptly forgot about his phone.
They broke out of the darkness to emerge in an underground cave. It was lit by soft lights that allowed the natural minerals in the earth to glitter slightly. Along the far wall, a waterfall fed into a large pool, the gentle splashing providing the perfect ambient noise. A bridge over the water lead to a small platform with a porch swing and a small pile of books.
“Welcome to my mad scientist lair,” Q said with a smile.
“No, you have earned the title of evil scientist since you hid this from me for so long. Who else knows?”
“My sister. No one else.”
“Then I suppose I am honoured.”
“Well come on, let me give you a tour.”
