riddle [a very, very loose interpretation of the prompt] caddyshack 2011-06-16 03:39 am UTC (link)

July 21st, 2007. 5:34pm. Keith has been up since for two days, surviving on Red Bull and In 'n' Out. He sits upright in bed, hair mussed, eyes red, a hardback copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in his lap. He damn near inhales the book, reading straight through as he has been since 1am that morning, when his personal assistant brought him his copy. He's a sucker for these types of trends - curiosity always gets the best of him and where these books are concerned, he was pleasantly surprised to find that they lived up to the hype. It saddens him to think this is the last one. The end is nigh; the epic final battle is unfolding word by word in front of his eyes and Keith has a hand over his mouth as he reads as fast as he can. The lack of sleep has made him almost delirious. How can it end? What way is there out of this? The hero, it appears, is dead. And then - just like that - like a phoenix from the ashes - Harry Potter appears again, to duel Tom Marvolo Riddle one last time. He prevails. By the time Keith sets the book down, his eyes sting from tears of triumph and joy. Fuck yeah! Take that, Voldemort! Now, finally, he can sleep. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Campfire. [present tense, but taking place in the past and future!] caddyshack 2011-06-17 02:58 am UTC (link)

The snow finally breaks a week before school lets out. He is a sophomore now, only three more years to go before he can leave Laramie behind forever. Keith counts the days. He'd prefer to spend his summer doing an improvisation workshop in Chicago but his parents can't afford it. Instead, he'll be mixing milkshakes at Dairy Queen and saving up to go next year. His only real vacation is the one weekend his father takes him out camping near Garden of the Gods. It's a boring as fuck drive down I-25 and the outdoors have never been his thing, but even at this age Keith can't deny his father the time alone. They roast hot dogs and marshmallows and Keith eats s'mores until his stomach hurts, talking about school and girls and his father - for the first time - admits how much he enjoys watching him on stage during the school plays. Years later, after his father is long gone, the smell of campfire roasted marshmallows reminds his of that weekend - it's to make his eyes sting and burn, because they should have had more moments like that. He should've gone home more. He should've tried harder, been better. He should have done a lot of things, really. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Youth. Present tense, past. caddyshack 2011-06-17 03:14 am UTC (link)

He's a goddamn stubborn son of a bitch, ain't he? The best way to get him to do anything is to try and tell him he can't, so when some redneck, small town, simpleton asshole bets 14 year old Keith Radigan $100 that he can't ride the mechanical bull at Jubilee Day, he sets out to prove the fucker wrong. Keith trains. He listens and studies, talks to cowboys and rodeo clowns and his father, even, and like hell if he doesn't work his ass off. Eight seconds is all it takes - that's less time than it takes to heat an english muffin, and how hard can it possibly be, really? Pretty fucking hard, in reality, but he's a damned quick learner if nothing else. It's bruises and blood and sweat, and there's so many times he wants to just say 'fuck it'. Pride stands in the way. So it is that the summer before he turns 16, he wades through a sea of taunting peers, and steps up to ride Buck, the Mechanical Bull. He can hear them plain as day, making fun of him, calling him a faggot, the usual. Fuck 'em. Keith hoists himself onto the machine and gets his grip on the rope, borrowing his dad's lucky glove. 1...2... - the bull is just warming up - but then it bucks faster and harder and physics kick in; 3... 4...the rope digs through his palm even with the glove, but he holds on. His other arm is held straight in the air and he keeps his eyes closed, centering his body and trying to move fluidly, keep his balance. 5... He's dizzy now, and nausea kicks in. Keith swallows hard, gripping tighter. 6...7... Victory. The buzzer sounds, and the bull slows down. Gradually, Keith loosens his grip and lowers his arm until the machine is at a full stop. He slides down, and finds that kid. Gary Wexler - a real fuckin' shit kicker. The money is offered, but refused. It was never about that, anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)
