Falconer In Love [May. 19th, 2005|03:17 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Share Next Entry
"His heart just exploded," she said, fixing Falconer with eyes as blue as a winter lake.

Falconer, the great consulting detective, nodded, indicating the sink on the far side of the room. "And it landed there?"

"Right out of his chest and into the sink," the woman affirmed, scraping dark curls out of her face with carmine nails.

Falconer considered. "That's a good fifteen feet from the bed to the sink. And it had to pass through the bandages, too. He'd recently had major cardiac surgery?"

"He insisted we go to bed," she said. Falconer was impressed by her utter lack of sympathy. "I was concerned that his ribs hadn't healed. I mean, I witnessed the operation They sawed through his ribcage and then spread them with this terrible metal thing."

She began to look flushed. "Are you well, my dear?" Falconer crooned.

"Oh, yes," she whispered. "It's just the memory..."

"Indeed," Falconer said. "And it was that memory that compelled you to take him to bed, was it not?"

"I'm sure I don't know what you mean, Mr Falconer."

"If you take a deep breath, madam, I am certain you will detect your own feminine musk in the air. I believe you to have masturbated over your own husband's heart surgery. And, still possessed by fetishistic lust, took him to bed the moment he returned from the hospital and copulated with the man until his ailing cardiac muscle literally threw itself through his weakened ribcage in protest."

"Oh, Mr Falconer," she sighed. "Whatever shall happen now?"

"I have a friend in the medical profession," Falconer rasped. "He has a private consulting room. I believe I shall have to use all the tools of his trade to make an exceptionally probing forensic examination of your body."

The widow moaned into his ear. It was very definitely time for the Cigarette Of Victory.

"Exeunt," Falconer declared, and they fairly ran from the room, hand in hand.

To be fair, neither do the suspenders, man.



I think the hat is very...cunning.

Why do I hear Warren Zevon's Mister Bad Example in my head whenever I read a Falconer story?

I'd point out the missing quotation marks, except that you and your hatred of editors scares me. "exceptionally probing forensic examination of your body" also scares me.

Well Falconer has to be one of the more unique characters I've come across. he comes off like a more cocky Sherlock Holmes, though I don't know if that was your intention or not.

I'd say more like Holmes after he gave into the cocaine.

Haven't seen it, don't intend to see it, due to no longer being eight years old.

I see nothing wrong with enjoying the occasional nostalgia for being a kid. It's when you get the tricycle out and run over people's toes in Wal-Mart while making vroom-vroom noises that you should be shot in the head.

Last edition some chaps discussed who would play the Falconer in a movie...

I think I'd like to nominate Willem Defoe.

Oh, and riotous good job. I'd hate to get into a cuddle fight with the Falconer.

I'd copulate with a man until his ailing cardiac muscle literally threw itself through his weakened ribcage in protest to have willem dafoe make an exceptionally probing forensic examination of my body.

Sexiest Willem Defoe scene ever - Boone Dock Saints, half of his drag outfit off with his hairnet still in, blowing his lips out as he shoots one of the Russians.

I'm sure terrible diseases that cause body parts to unexpectedly drop off were then exchanged.

And yet I sigh in happiness as they run out of the room together.
