Orc: A Vignette

This originally began as an inside joke between Sean and me. Poor Argh.


Me am Argh. Argh am orc. Argh have beautiful wife, Urgh, and one... three... seven... two! Two orclings. Argh am businessorc. Me am work for big-wig boss in fancy office, but Argh only have puny cubicle. Boss not respect Argh. Boss says Argh am scary and needs to stop destroying weak co-workers. Boss will one day bow to Argh. But for now, Argh be peon.

This morning, Argh drive to work. Suddenly, Argh cut off by puny human in weak mini-van! Argh furious. ARGH AM BERSERKER-RAGING! Me am burst through roof of car, and rip steering wheel from dashboard. Argh run over mini-van! Mini-van crash into ditch, and Argh rip off mini-van's door! Me am drink blood of douchebag who cut Argh off!

Other drivers stop and stare at Argh. Me am hear human yelling to call cops. Argh no like fuzz! Me jump back into Argh car and put roof over Argh head and drive away. Me am hear the baneful cry of human screams. Argh like human screams. Argh have burnt CD of human suffering that me play in car. It am soothe Argh after long week of work.

Argh arrive at work. Boss yell at Argh. Argh am late! Me am sorry, I tell Boss. Boss glare at Argh. Stupid puny Boss. Argh am powerful! Boss no understand. Argh work on sales graphs. It am tedious. Argh am decide to check on mighty Farmville crops.

Boss catches Argh! Says Argh am fired. Me am say Argh have wife and orclings to raise. Boss no care. ARGH AM BERSEKER-RAGING! Me rip computer from wall and throw at Boss. Co-workers try to calm Argh. PUNY CO-WORKERS! ME AM DESTROY HUMANS AND GNAW ON WEAK BONES!

Security escort Argh out. Tells Argh charges will be filed.

Maybe Argh no should work in office.
