The Legend of Sly
His name was Sly very well known in the underworld as a very clandestine person and also very
dangerous. He is an outcast with a bounty worth billions wanted by most but no one has seen
the guy in years. Thought to just be a legend but there is no way he is make believe when his
wanted posters keep getting posted up (says some smart guy in a bar). Yeah well, I think this Sly
guy is dead and everyone should just forget about him (drunken old man mutters). Yeah, you’re
probably right but is it just me or have yall noticed how austere the underworld has been recently
and the ascendancy of their power. It’s like there getting ready for something and they have
always been autonomous compared to the rest of the world so I’m a bit scared of what they
might do especially because there always filled with enmity (says smart guy in the bar)
(Everyone goes quiet for a moment and then burst out laughing at him) HA!! We didn’t know we
had such a smart guy in here I didn’t understand half the words you just said “austere” “enmity.”
Who do you think you are (wasted man in the bar says). I don’t appreciate this derision.
(Smart guy in the bar replies in an upset tone) HAHAHA!!! There you go again relax kid I was
just teasing I wish I was as smart as you I wouldn’t be living in such a slum your still young and
you have your whole life ahead of you I mean seriously you don’t want to end up as banal as the
rest of us. AHH, you see what I did there I know me some of those fancy words myself hahaha
but anyways what I’m trying to say is don’t obsess over things that don’t concern you. You don’t
want to end up like that old drunk over there who knows what he’s yapping about. “They didn’t
even get my nose right” (old man whispers under his breath as he looks at the wanted poster).
Hey, you’ve had way too much to drink go home old timer (says bartender). Yeah yeah, I’m
going here you go (drops bag of gold on the counter) and keep the change this may be my last
night here you know. Oh, really why is that are you goanna finally quit drinking old geyser. HA!
Don’t make me laugh of course not I love lekker! Also, for everyone who can hear me IM NOT
OLD OR CRAZY I’m in my early 40s for your information SO STOP CALLING ME AN OLD
MAN!!! Okey whatever you say crazy old man. Just get out of here (bartender responds to old
man’s yappering) alright I’m leaving bye (old man stumbled out the bar collapsing on the side of
the building passing out.)
Hey old man are you okey “huh where am I” uhh you’re in my apartment right now “what why?”
Well, I was looking out the window of the bar and saw you fall flat on your face I was a bit
worried you died or something. “Wait your that kid from the bar right the smart guy”. Yes
that is me. My name is Rey (puts hand out for a handshake) I don’t think I’ve gotten your name
yet mister (old man looks at him with a blank expression on his face completely just ignoring
what he just said and brushing off the handshake) “I see well thanks Rey, but I got to go.” (Old
man replies with) Are you sure? (Ray says putting his hand back down still concern for the old
man) That fall seemed pretty painful. “Yeah, I’m sure” (old man says getting up in a rush and
bumping into thing). You still seem a bit woozy. Here why don’t you sit back down and let me
get you a cup of water so you can at least sober up a bit before you go “ok fine” (old man says
siting back down) here you go (Rey hands him a cup of water) Thanks kid so why are you being
so nice to me. I mean I appreciate it and all, but you don’t even know who I am (old man says to
Rey) No reason. To be honest I just like to help people in need. Plus, I was taught to treat my
elders with respect so I couldn’t just leave you there (Rey says to the old man) do you want
money or something (old man responds with) no I don’t want your money I was being serous.
(Rey replies back) You are a odd one but thank you, anyways how long have I been out for? (old
man asks) Its been about an hour or so (Rey says) I’m going to be late (old man, whispers to
himself) “huh? what did you say.” Nothing kid, where is my coat. Oh, its over here let me go get
it for you (Rey goes to get the coat but as he grabs it something fell out of its pocket some
kind of cube) What is this (Ray says as he gives it the old man) Hey be careful with that you
don’t know how valuable that cube is (old man says and then suddenly there was an explosion in
front of the building) BOOMMM!!! WHOA what was that (Rey says absolutely terrified) I guess
I ran out of time (old man says) what do you mean (Rey asks) You asked me who I was earlier
so, let me introduce myself now my name is Sly, and I have recently stolen something very
important from the underworld and they got pretty upset about it. So now there here to take it
back and kill me so I recommend you go hide in the closet or something because we are probably
surrounded by now (Sly says to Rey.) WHAT THE FLIP MAN you did not think this was some
important information to tell me beforehand you can’t just drop all of that on me like that (Rey
says yelling at Sly) “Nope” (Sly replies with.)
