Dark Fortress Continued (originally posted Jan 27th 2007)


He heard the Madman's footsteps approaching across the stone floor--searching --drawing closer. The Pineappleman continued to wait. He pulled out a small flask of lighter fluid from with pocket --silently --pouring some on the  creature that he hid behind. Then he lit the body on fire-- The Madman stunned fired a shot into the burning corpse. 
  The Pineappleman stood up separated from the Madman by the flaming corpse.   The Madman aimed the gun directly at him and pulled the trigger ---but the chamber was out of bullets.  The Pineappleman raising his machete  sidestepped the burning body and  swung the blade down on the shocked Madman ---chopping off his outstretched gun hand.  He then reached out grabbing the man by the neck tossing him to the floor.   The Madman  --tried to scramble out of the light --but the room was now brightly lit by the smoking body engulfed in fire.  The Pineappleman reached over and picked up his gun placing in back in its holster.   He then stalked over to the cringing Madman that lay on the ground howling and holding his bloody stump.   The Pineappleman -grabbed one of the chains from the ground and slung it around the Madman's neck--then dragged him from the room.
