The Shortest Thread

[FatherTiempo he/him]

FT scratched his head. "Maybe we should hire a consultant."

But that was irrelevant.

[FatherTiempo he/him]

Nooooooo!!!

 

 

Edit Nov 15, 2019: FT rushes over to TST's side. He begins ineffectual resuscitation, pumping his elbows like some strange dance craze. When that fails, he begins the more efficient, and effective maneuver used in much of fiction. 

        FT slaps TST in the face. "Don't you die!" He slaps him again. "I said, Don't" Slap "You!" Slap "Die!" For some strange reason, beating on the half dead person didn't revive him. FT remembers that, in Fiction CPR 101, if the person doesn't revive, placing your forehead on their chest in a defeated posture, thinking that all hope is lost, will magically heal all internal damage.

      He tries, but it still is useless. 

     The Shortest Thread was dead.

With a gasp, the somewhat ironically named The Shortest Thread awoke

Except it didn’t because it wasn’t italicized.

[Honorless he/him]

You were saying?

[Knight of Iron she/they]

But it came to life again when it was italicized.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

FT’s efforts hadn’t been in vain.

[FatherTiempo he/him]

FT...didn't know what to do. He didn't think past this point. "Um, hello?"

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

“Hello,” the thread responded.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

"I am a thread," the thread stated firmly.

"But you could be a strand." said Llstml

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

“I am a thread.”

[Knight of Iron she/they]

The thread wouldn’t give in so easily.

[FatherTiempo he/him]

"What if you were a topic?"

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

“I am a thread.”

[NameIess]

"What if you were given to nightblood"

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

“I am a thread.”

[NameIess]

"And he ate you. Then you would be black smoke."

[Knight of Iron she/they]

The thread paused, as if considering.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

“I am a thread.” it said resolutely.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

But then the thread began having health problems.

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

"I am a dead thread."

[NameIess]

But then a Knight Radiant came along and infused the thread with stormlight, extending it's life. For how long no one knows...

[Knight of Iron she/they]

Because an Awakener came by and gave up much of his BioChromatic Breath to the thread.
