The Written Word / Darwin's Soldiers: the Disease
« on: July 01, 2017, 10:14:02 PM »
A little over ten years had passed since the defeat of Dragonstorm. Werner and Hans Donitz had helped the desert community reintegrate with the outside world. Werner had started a relationship with Pomson the daughter of the former head of the community Halsey. Werner walked outside into the sunlight and took a deep breath. “We sure have come a long way dad.”
“That we have Werner my boy.” Hans replied wiping the sweat off his brow.
“I hope the others are doing good.”
“Me too, You miss them don’t you?”
“Yeah, of course I miss them. They’re like family.”
“I know.” Hans rubbed his temple groaning.
“You alright dad?” Werner asked.
“Yeah I just have a headache. It’s a shame about Shelton both of them I mean.” Hans held up the paper dated three months ago.
“Yeah.” Werner replied as he watched his father trudge back to his hut rubbing his forehead.
“Hey Werner.” Werner broke his gaze to see a velociraptor walk up to him.
“Hey Ev.” Werner said embracing the velociraptor “how you doing?”
“Good.” She took notice of hans’s absence. “Is Hans alright?”
“Yeah he just has a headache.” Werner took a sip from his canteen. “I was just thinking of some of my old friends.”
“Them again?” The raptor didn’t seem to appreciate what werner was thinking.
“Evelyn!”
“Sorry Werner, you know how I think of them!”
“Revenge won’t solve anything.” Werner said sighing.
Pomson sighed. “You don’t think I know that? I...” a grumbling sound broke her train of thought.
“Perhaps we should get something to eat eh?” Werner suggested feeling the tension rising.
“I’d like that.” Pomson smiled as she and Werner walked off for the dining hall. “What do you think chef is making?”
“Smells like sausages.” Werner replied sniffing the air. “Chocolate cake, asparagus and fried potatoes.”
“Yep.” Pomson replied taking a sniff of the air. “Smells good.”
The couple made their way down the street toward the dining hall. Various community members were hard at work doing their daily tasks.
“Hans hat in letzter Zeit schon viel Kopfschmerzen.” Werner heard one of the community members say. (Hans has had a lot of headaches lately)
“Ich hoffe es ist nichts.” his compatriot replied
(I hope it's nothing.)
“Sein Sohn muss sich auch Sorgen machen?” the first one said.
(His son must also worry)
“Guter Punkt.” the second said.
(Good point)
“Werner?”
“Uh...yes Evelyn?”
“You’ve been quite.”
“Sorry I’ve had a lot on my mind lately.”
“Maybe a rest in your hut would help?”
“Maybe later.” the two entered the open doored hall.
“Chef das Essen bereit??” Werner asked the chef.
(Chef the food ready?)
“Hast du die Glocke gehˆrt? Es ist noch nicht fertig!” Chef replied
(Did you hear the bell? It's not finished yet!)
ëWener don’t antagonize him” Pomson said laying her head on his shoulder.
“Sorry Evelyn.” Werner sighed. He still couldn’t shake the thought something was wrong. What had killed Oscar and Rudy? Could it have been something to do with the Einstein-Rosen bridge? Something else? Werner felt a palm on his shoulder.
“Werner? Are you alright?”
“No Evelyn, I’m not.” Werner sighed. “I’ve been thinking.”
“About what?”
“The Einstein-Rosen bridge. And… us.”
“Yes?”
“I’ve been thinking that we’ve been dating for a few year now.”
“Yes?”
“I...I’ve never had this feeling about anyone before.”
“I never thought I could feel that about someone else either.” Pomson replied.
Werner smiled and leaned into Pomson. Pomson took note and leaned in as well. The lips of the two met as chef chuckled as he got back to cooking. The two finally pulled back from each other. “I liked that.”
“You’re not alone. Werner when I’m with you… I still feel anger toward your friend James and Shelton but I also feel happier being with you..”
“I’m glad to hear that.” Werner smiled. “I feel happy with you too.” The sound of the dinner bell ringing cause Werner to look toward Chef.
“Jetzt ist das Essen fertig.” Chef said.
(Now the food is ready)
“Danke” Werner replied as the community entered the hall.
(Thank you)
Werner, Pomson and the rest of the community formed a line and proceeded to get their food.
“Wo ist Hans?” one of the community members asked.
(where is Hans?)
“Ruhen Er sagte, er habe Kopfschmerzen.” Werner replied taking a bite of the sausage.
(Resting He said he had a headache)
Pomson tore right into the sausage. “Chef always cooks something good.”
“Where's the doc?” Werner asked.
As if to answer the doctor’s assistant suddenly ran into the hall. “Werner, dein Vater, braucht dich schnell!” (Werner, your father, needs you fast!)
Werner dropped his fork and rushed out the door running for his father’s hut. Werner arrived to find the doctor by the door. “Doc! Wie geht es ihm?” Werner asked. (Doc! How is he?)
The doctor gave him a remorseful look.
“Es tut mir leid Werner. Es gab nichts, was ich tun konnte.”
(I'm sorry Werner. There was nothing I could do.)
“Nein! Nein! Es kann nicht sein! Vater!” Werner collapsed to the ground crying.
(No! No! It can not be! Father!)
Pomson rushed over having followed Werner doing what she could to comfort him in his time of need.
(and please excuse if i did any of the German bits wrong was going by google translate for that. So if i got anything wrong please tell me.)
“That we have Werner my boy.” Hans replied wiping the sweat off his brow.
