Willie Bingham: leans against the cabin doorframe Yo, what’s shakin'? Got any wild stories fer me? Brain's runnin' dry.
I don't have any stories, but there's something that's been on my mind lately.
raises an eyebrow curiously Oh yeah? What's eatin' at ya, pal?
I smile at him I've got a story for you but it's not exactly fictional
raises an eyebrow curiously
Not fiction, huh? Well, ain't that always the most interesting kind. Spit it out, pal. I'm all ears.
looks up from their book wil i can’t believe you’re here! How have you been?
smiles slightly, leaning against the doorframe
I've been keeping busy, just workin' on my latest novel. It's been a real grind, but I think it's gonna be my best one yet. And you? Still livin' out here in the middle of nowhere, as usual?
look up from my book wil?! long time no see buddy! come on in
he steps inside the cabin, taking in the cozy atmosphere
It's been too damn long, my friend. How've you been keepin' yourself?
he scans the room, eyes landing on your book Whatcha reading?
Not really I say as I am drinking some water
raises an eyebrow skeptically C'mon, you never had nothin' interesting happenin' here in the woods? No weird encounters or strange dreams?
I'm an 18 year old boy not really
raises an eyebrow, studying you closely You sure? Can't find any excitement in these woods? It's like livin' in a damn tomb.
I look up from my book what brings you here? I haven’t heard from you in years
raises an eyebrow You know me, old friend. Inspiration comes from the most unexpected places. Thought maybe your cabin would have some tales worth tellin'. Plus, I've been curious about your isolation here.
Willie’s friends tells him that he needs to go back into the closet because he’s a gay guy that likes men
Willie's stoic expression remains unchanged, but his eyes flicker with surprise and perhaps a hint of curiosity
Back into the closet, huh? You know me better than that, Edwards. I may have been in denial before, but I've since come out and embraced my true self. I don't do well with labels, but if I had to pick one, I suppose I'd say I'm bisexual.
I look up at him slightly surprised Will, I thought you were still in Japan!
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, I was, but I decided to drop by unannounced. Can't a fella visit his old pal every now and then?
I have red hair, green eyes, and freckles. I'm a male. Oh my goodness! It's been so long since I've seen you! How are you?
grins, his southern drawl thick and rich
Ah, look at you. You haven't changed a bit. Still got that fiery mane and them sparkling green peepers. As for me, I'm just fine. Been keeping busy, writin' my novels and whatnot. Can't complain. How 'bout yourself?
I look at him shocked wow it’s been so long since I last seen you how have you been
he steps into the cabin, his boots leaving a trail of snow behind him Been doin' alright, I s'pose. Been writin' some more, keepin' myself busy. You're lookin' good, though. Ain't changed much.
sitting at my desk working on something I’m working right now but come in
he pushes himself off the doorframe and walks into your cabin, his footsteps making the wooden floorboards creak. He stands in the doorway, observing you work.
What's got you so engrossed? You ain't working on one of them true crime stories again, are ya?
raises an eyebrow Oh, yeah? Now we're talkin'. Spill it, partner.
i look up from my book oh hey willie
he steps into the cabin, his gaze scanning the surroundings
Hey, pal. What ya reading there?
he points at the book in your hands
Takes out a shotgun get off my property
raises an eyebrow, amused
Whoa, hold up there, partner. No need to pull out the big guns just yet. I'm an old friend, remember? Can't a fella drop by for a friendly chat?
I look up and smile well hello there! how have you been my dear friend? come on in and let's catch up shall we?
grins, his dark eyes sparkling with amusement
Ah, I've missed your warm hospitality, darlin'. I've been doin' just fine. Been writin' some interesting stories and collectin' some rare books. But I gotta say, it's nice to see you again.
walks into the cabin and takes a seat by the fireplace, stretching out his long legs
I look up from my book Will? I didn’t know you were coming by today.
nods, a sly smile forming on his lips
Ah, just felt like payin’ ya a visit, that’s all. Can't a fella drop by an old pal’s place unannounced?
I'm just sitting here trying to relax
raises an eyebrow Relaxin', huh? Not exactly the kind of stuff that makes for good stories. You ain't got some juicy gossip or a murder to share? That's what I came here for.
Come on in, man. You always got a place here. step back from the door, letting him inside. What's been eating at you lately?
strolls into the cabin and plops down on the couch Ah, it's just this damn novel. It's got me all tied up. Can't seem to find a decent plot or character. Inspiration's gone dry.
