"I told you not to drink it," Shift yelled, rummaging through my kitchen.  My head exploded with such force that would make a terrorist jealous.  I slowly opened my eyes, in an attempt to glare daggers at my friend's back, contemplating murder.  "No, you didn't," I growled, just barely audible.  I pressed my fingers against my throbbing temples.  "I don't remember you saying it, and I'm always right.  Therefore, you didn't."  Shift slammed a cupbaord shut and I added theoretical torture to theoretical murder.  Punishment to fit the crime and whatnot.  I curled up on my couch into a, more or less, respectable position.  Behold, Jack Walles: son of Father Time and hardcore private eye, everyone.

    "You don't remember because you drank it."  My friend responded in a tone that educated me on how a demolished building felt.  "You never accept alcohol from Dwarves.  It's always--"

"Stop.  Yelling."  I snarled, suddenly wishing looks could kill.  Shift turned to face me, suddenly holding a metal frying pan.  The red-head raised an eyebrow and gave me a level look.  My face fell and, before I could come up with a colourful threat, my friend slammed the pan against my fridge.  I let out a tortured cry and curled up into a tiny ball.  "What was that?" Shift asked, going back to searching my kitchen.  "I thought you said something."

"Nothing," I mumbled, decided on theoretical waterboarding for the theoretical torture.

  Never.  Drinking.  Again.
So, this was an assignment for my English class. We started reading Beowulf a few days ago, and we were talking about why Grendel started attacking. Basically, for those who haven't read it, Grendel was in a lot of pain, like a headache. He also lived under one of the most successful meadery halls in Denmark( I think?), which would throw a large party almost every night. Almost like that asshole of a neighbor that's one floor above you in an apartment complex, who never turns his music down. -.-.; So, instead of asking them to stop, he kills them all.

The reason for this writting was because my teacher asked us to write a modern day version of something like what Grendel went through. So I thought, why not give Jack a hang over? Seems like a good idea. x3
