The Pangs of Parting with Monotony & The Need For Bodily MovementsA Story by Murdoch Maxwellperils in monotonyVirginia Clemm,Brooke, & Murdoch arrive at Whole Foods Market in El Jebel Colorado. Brooke states that she needs to use the washroom. Virginia comments on this need to "pee pee" by reciting some of her education in the french language by uttering “la toilette”. The trio then dawdles into the supermarket, & while that dawdling was occurring, Brooke had snatched a cart for their shopping session. Brooke tells Murdoch & Virginia to wait by the flowers. Murdoch and Virginia discuss what type of flowers he’d buy for her in the future. Virginia points out that some of the mini bundles of assorted flowers were cute, & some of the bundles that weren’t as bright of colours as the other ones were nice too. Murdoch tells her that “he’s more of a mono colour flower guy”. Murdoch gleaning about the selection of flowers at the market states that he’s not going to be buying her red roses, though. Then quickly he voices that he’d buy her white roses instead. They glance over at the white roses. Murdoch discerns that he has qualms with his previous statement. Murdoch then stumbles leisurely to his words stating that the white roses wouldn’t be too great of an idea. Murdoch only had brought up that he’d buy her white roses because he had recently read The Sound And The Fury by William Faulkner where white flowers were a symbol of purity. Murdoch figures that these white roses were fugly & tells her that he’d rather just buy her some kind of white flowers. Then they looked about , & they saw some peach coloured roses and they were in agreement that the peach roses were nice. Murdoch sort of, off on his mono color comments states that he’d love to buy her bamboo or something kooky, similar to bamboo in the near future. At this time, Brooke returns and rejoins the faction. The faction heads down the vegetable & fruits section of the market, & begin prepping for 4 days worth of meals for Virginia & Brooke. Brooke selects two artichokes, some fingerling potatoes, & some other items from the fruits and vegetable section. All the while Virginia tells her mother that she would like some sushi. Brooke scoffs benevolently, based on the tacit understanding that sushi at whole foods(whole foods=whole paycheck) is wickedly pricey(pricey:expensive). The faction heads over to the meat counter. Virginia compresses Murdoch’s torso as if squeezing out his latent tears. At the meat counter, the faction discusses various kinds of sausages. The faction agrees that basil sausage is grand. Moments later Virginia points out that that a blueberry pork patty looks delish, Murdoch agrees. The faction heads over to the dairy section where Brooke is tempted to buy cheese, but resists. Brooke resists because of some ailment where she must not eat cheese. Virginia eyes her comfort food and grabs it-- Kozy Shack chocolate pudding is her comfort food. Murdoch sees her doing this and verbalizes that if she thinks that he would need something like Kozy Shack chocolate pudding to comfort him when she’s gone. Virginia then said something in kind of “Yeah sure whatever you want”. The faction walks out of the dairy section into a more assorted section--with pizza, chicken pot pies, hot foods, & drinks, placed about. At this point, Virginia & Murdoch begin to grip each other's hands tighter, have longer hugs, and peck various areas of each others faces. Murdoch then rested his head on hers, while they looked over the hot foods as a faction. Virginia picks out a nice sandwich and some other items with her mother's consent. Murdoch now, with some distance between him and Virginia(because Virginia had been selecting her hot foods) Murdoch breaks the distance nonchalantly and clutches Virginia in a tight embrace. Murdoch’s countenance begins to change. Murdoch fights this. Murdoch thinks about how he would usually be concerned about these public displays of affection. Murdoch couldn’t give much heed to such a thought now. He felt too much for her. The faction tromped over to the protein bar section of the supermarket. Virginia and Brooke select some Cliff Bar-esque bars and then some meat bars also. Virginia and Murdoch filled with spontaneous glee, sashay and dance bodily movements on the way to the skin care section. Brooke comments that she is not associated with such people after their acts of sashay-ing and their dance of bodily movements. Brooke grabs whatever left that's on her list that is in the skin-care section of the supermarket, & leaves with the faction to purchase the goods. While the goods are being placed on the moving conveyor belt. Murdoch is glancing at a music magazine dedicated to his favourite band The Doors. Murdoch realizes he wasn’t helping put items on the conveyor belt, and neither was his girlfriend Virginia. So he comments “Hey Virginia you don’t..help put the groceries on the conveyor belt”, stating this fact like it may be a common occurrence for her. Murdoch acts as if such actions would be unusual and maybe even plays it off as being frowned upon with his undertone. This would all be incidental of course because Murdoch is exceedingly socially awkward. Virginia and Murdoch then provide ancillary assistance necessary into putting the groceries on the conveyor belt. Murdoch compulsively, but also in an undemanding deportment organizes the CD’s that Whole Paycheck had on display to be straightened out while Brooke had purchased the merchandise. The faction walked past the register area. They tarried about and chatted. An older woman ventures by and attempts to squeeze past Murdoch. Brooke tells Murdoch to “watch out behind you” because of it being a narrow passageway they were chatting in. Murdoch reacts vacuously and does a little backpedal like he would as if he was a cornerback on a football team. *Swam Bam No Thank You, Ma'am,, a banging against the older woman’s cart sound effect* Murdoch clashes with the older woman's cart. Murdoch dazed apologises to the older woman brutishly. The faction walks out of chain store that robs consumers of their entire paychecks with meat goods that are made without being raised with the use of antibiotics and other products formulated in a proper fashion. Brooke cues the faction to let up and the faction chillaxed for a bit. Brooke tells Murdoch that it wasn’t his fault that he hit the ancient elderly white-haired presumably unfazed woman. Assuring Murdoch that it’s proper etiquette to warn the person you’re trying to pass by in a narrow corridor by saying something in the fashion of “excuse me”. The faction ambled to the Subaru vehicle that Brooke owned or maybe leased (Murdoch had never inquired about if Brooke had leased or bought the Subaru vehicle). The faction prepares the vehicle for departure. Murdoch is reminded by Brooke to grab his paraphernalia. They find that Murdoch is a bit far from the office. Virginia asks Murdoch to make a decision. Murdoch tarry-ing ends of making the decision to take the ride, they offered. Brooke tells the pair to wait in the Subaru Vehicle & say their goodbyes. Virginia & Murdoch wait in the Subaru vehicle. Murdoch aimed to snog Virginia with high passion, but all he could manage was a few measly pecks owing to the fact Murdoch begun to tear up(though the peaks were “measly” they were soothing to Murdoch). Luckily, Murdoch remained in control of his feelings with Virginia his solace there. Although Virginia said it was okay to cry, Virginia also brought up a good-humoured gender stratification comment “I’m the one who's supposed to get emotional”. Murdoch defends himself with the logo rhetoric of “Norman Reedus cries” referring to the time when Norman Reedus had to cry for an hour before he shot the scene where the character Beth Greene was shot in the head. The Brooke returns and Murdoch finished off his tears. Brooke asks Murdoch for directions. Murdoch gives her directions haphazardly and without confidence. The boy tells Brooke that if he screws up, just turn at the movie theater sign. The faction arrives without a hitch. The boy then stumbles around in search his last words for his bittersweet goodbye to his dearest Virginia Clemm. In thought he spouts out several options "potatoes, ____, & ______". Then Murdoch settles with grapefruits because that's a swell visual to leave in his Virginia’s mind. Murdoch was also aware that grapefruits support penile health and he found that fact funny. Murdoch exits the Subaru vehicle. Murdoch arrives at the office doors. Murdoch has a second thought about heading to work just then. So Murdoch popped over back to his dropoff point and gave Brooke and Virginia a proper Scottish wave, goodbye. Virginia is now bounded for a volunteer trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. Murdoch wishes her well. © 2016 Murdoch Maxwell |
