Title: The Shattering Unveiled
Author: DeadBob
Mondain: I had it, you know, The Gem of Imortality.
Bartender: Right. <wipes Mondain's drool off the bar> Want another drink?
Mondain: <nods>
Bartender: OKAY, One Dragon-Drool Cooler coming up. So, what happened to it?
Mondain: What? Bartender: The Gem of Immortality.
Mondain: Oh. Sorry. I am getting very old. Immortality ain't all it's cracked up to be. You won't believe this, but some incompetent, bumbling fool of a Stranger dropped it.
<chokes back tears> It SHATTERED!!
Bartender: There there, now. You got your immortality, didn't you? Let's talk of pleasanter things. How's the family doing? Your Dad ok?
Mondain: <Glares> What do you mean by that!? I DID NOT KILL MY FATHER!
It's just that... well, the Gem of Immortality powered his Pacemaker. I merely ... inconvenienced him, maybe.
