If you were a worm… #SciFi #Humor #MFRWhooks

For their love, forever isn't long enough.

In the book Forever Love, a situation occurs that moves Pietas and Izzorah from enemies to friends. I've been writing a new story -- nothing fully plotted yet -- and this scene presented itself.

If you've read anything with Pietas in it you know he has a wry sense of humor and irony.

Here, the two men just happen to be in the same room, and the unendingly curious Izzorah asks a question. I set this up like a play, but if I use it, I'll be adding action and dialog tags.

Izzorah: Pietas, if you were a worm, what kind of soil would you be in?

Pietas: I'm sorry. If I was a what?

Izzorah: A worm.

Pietas: A worm?

Izzorah: That's what I said.

Pietas: You think of me as a worm?

Izzorah: No, of course not.

Pietas: ...

Izzorah: But what if you were though?

Pietas: ...

Izzorah: ...

Pietas: If I was a what?

Rather an odd question from Izzorah, to start with!

I know, right? I was looking for warmup questions to ask interviewees, and came across something similar (I think it was if you were a butterfly) and thought — Izzorah would ask Luc that. Then thought … no, Pietas. lol

thank you. I think these two will be friends the way Pietas was with Six, but forever. :)

Interesting discussion. A worm? I wonder what his answer is. Thanks for sharing.
