For those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

“Why is it we can’t stay out of these people’s way?” Violetta asked as she and Ferruccio looked out from behind a stack of barrels. Three Ottoman soldiers were picking through the storage area in the courtyard of what used to be a nice house trying to find the two Italians. Ferro shrugged and tried to look like he knew what to do. He hadn’t expected Esztergom to be completely overrun by Turks.
“If I knew that then we wouldn’t be here now,” He told her. Then he set his jaw and nodded. “Allright, when I say go… make a run for it… three…” Ferro gripped his sword tighter and got ready to leap. “Two…” Violetta tucked her arms in so that she could run on cue. “ONE!” On one, Ferro lept up onto the barrels and kicked one off of the second row, letting the skinniest of the three Turks catch it in the chest. With a loud shout, the Italian came down and engaged another of the Ottomans while Violetta made her escape. Another of the men stepped in her way, keeping the dancer pinned down while his friend recovered from being hit by a barrel of drink. Violetta feigned left to right, making the Turk second guess each time. The third dodge made him leap out and leave himself wide open in the false start so that the young woman could bring her tambourine around and hit him square in the face. His sword clattered to the stone floor as he slumped back to collapse into a stack of crates. She barely had time to gloat when a rope was thrown ‘round her. Violetta started to kick at the Turk who’d snagged her, hoping to land one on his knee. “Mannaggia! Ferro, help!” Her husband turned and cursed under his breath. Giving his attention back to the Turk he was fighting, Ferruccio delivered a strong kick, sending the man back against the wall. Eyes crossed, the soldier made a half-hearted little noise, then fell on his face. “Release her, furfante!” He shouted while slicing the rope in two. The soldier turned tail and ran, not wanting to face another attack. Ferro grabbed Violetta by the hand and the two of them left the courtyard after kicking the gate down. Outside waited another squad of Ottoman soldiers, their muskets at the ready. Their commander stood behind the other men, his sword out as he spoke in his deep, clear voice. “Good afternoon my friends. Would you please throw down your weapons?” Characters, art & story © Antique Submarine |
