Excerpt:
Smudge walked back into the room and jumped onto Sam’s
desk He rubbed himself against Sam’s arm, spreading his scent.
The noise of stone against stone broke the quiet
scene. “Who’s that?” a gravelly voice asked.
The gargoyle moved in shaky groaning increments to
stand upright to its full twenty inches or so. He was looking down at the soul
camera that lay screen up on the desk.
“Now you come out,” Sam said. “You realize I poked you
three times.”
The gargoyle normally snarked back. He wasn’t known for his ability to say anything
much in the way of nice. Bob didn’t
like gargoyles unless they were inanimate
and on the walls of a church. The lack of expression on the gargoyle’s face as
it silently stared at the camera was freaky.
“Why do you have… is that…” In a sudden motion, the gargoyle crouched back into its
stone shape and stilled.
“What the hell?” Sam poked it again with the same pen
as before. No movement, none at all. “Is it just me or did he looked shocked.”
“He doesn’t have expressions,” Bob offered in support
of why he hadn’t noticed.
Sam looked up at him disbelieving. “Yes he does,
didn’t you see…” He trailed off. “Don’t tell me, I’m the only one that saw the
shock and grief on the gargoyle’s face.”
Bob shrugged. “All I saw was stone and lidless eyes.”
He shuddered. He hated those lidless eyes.
One more poke and Sam dropped the pen on the table. He
returned to idly scratching Smudge behind his ears. Smudge purred, and Bob
knew, given half a chance at having Sam scratching his ears, he’d probably be
purring as well.
“Let’s have a closer look at this.” Sam rummaged
one-handed in his drawer and pulled out a couple of cables. Examining them, he
finally found one that slotted into his uncle’s camera then he pushed the other
end into the ancient computer on his desk.
As the PC whirred and spluttered to life, Bob leaned
over and pressed a kiss to Sam’s lips. “I love you,” he said.
Sam answered with a kiss of his own, and with Smudge
twisting between them trying to find a comfy spot to park his furry butt, Bob
kissed Sam with the same intensity as he had the first time.
