With a deft and expert thumb he flipped the lid off the top with a plopping sound. It came to rest upside down, against the hairy neck of its owner. Now exposed to the elements, the gelatinous pudding became time-sensitive.

Scooping with one hand, Raymond rested the other hand lovingly on the shoulder, now slightly damp. But he didn’t seem to notice and continued to scoop and slosh the soft contents into a beautifully etched glass dessert bowl decorated with fine flowers and delicate Victorian patterns.

“Some might say this is more than you deserve you know.” He thought.

Welcome indeed to our first Afrikkaner forumite. And a good first post, Increasing cringe inducement as one realizes what's happening, but the final line is obscure enough to draw the reader to edge close enough to peak inside your imagination.
More than who deserves to know? Victim or reader? Or *looking over shoulder* are they one and the same?

Not bad for 100 wrords.

Thanks strawman. Lol

Just one thing, I'm not an Afrikaaner. Just your garden variety English speaking South African. Yip. Lol

[strawman]

Surnames can be misleading. But still, as DC's first garden variety English speaking South African, no less welcome!

[KateZiervogel]
