“We call in humility.”
“And the Dark Lord shall answer!”
“We ask for his presence.”
“And the Dark Lord shall come!”
“To step out of the flames.”
“And the Dark Lord shall appear!”
“Arise! Arise! Arise!”
Phaaa-boooom!
“I AM COME!”
“Oh, Lord of Darkness, hear these pleas of your humble slaves…”
“YES, MORTALS, I AM HERE TO DESTROY AND MAIM AND…”
Michael? What are you and your friends doing down there?
“Arse, it’s my Mum.”
If you’ve lit another fire, so help me I’ll tan your hides…
“RIGHT, I’M OFF. I DON’T DO MUMS, MUMS ARE SCARY.”
Phaaa-boooom!
“Bugger.”

And rightly so! When Garry was working and his mother called, the newsroom came to a standstill. “Garry, it’s YOUR MOTHER.” I think they would have stopped the newscast if they had to.

Good dialog, Ali. I can totally understand the mother’s attitude. There are looks that can freeze someone in place. Who needs the Dark Lord. As all teachers know, one of those looks is most effective if done by the eyes in the back of the head. 😀 — Suzanne
