#certain death

[bltzgore]

So, concept:

Whumpee who is being brutally tortured by whumper. Physically they're not sure how much more they can take before their body gives up the ghost and succumbs to the pain, the broken bones, the blood loss, the collapsed lungs. Whumpee wants it to be over, sure. But they want something more. They want to mar whumper so bad they scar forever.

They want to leave a mark that is going to outlive them.

"The prospect of freedom?" he said.

"Exactly," said Lord Vetinari. "There is always a choice."

"You mean...I could choose certain death?"

"A choice, nevertheless," said Vetinari.

Sorry to interrupt your drama but we're still about to die.

Sometimes when I run down the stairs and I trip, stumble, bend over like twig, flail all about and still somehow manage not to plummet to my certain death, a curious sense of accomplishment fills my soul.

You ever think way too much about one tiny detail? Like, I was walking to school, and I was considering if I should cross the road or not—small, short road, not busy at all, just with a bunch of pleasant houses with happy families with little kids—and I was thinking, “If I cross the road, it could lead to certain death. There could be a mine on that side of the road. So I should cross it. But this side might lead to certain death too, so I shouldn’t cross in case it does. Or maybe there’s a magic bottle so on that side of the road, and I might step on it and sprout monkey wings and be portalled to an alternate dimension.”

That ever happen to you?
