Antihero & Ernie
You ever think about the art of misdirection when you’re hunting a target in the shadows? I’m picturing a prank that would make even a brooding vigilante pause—what do you say, should we stir the pot with a joke or keep it all serious?
Misdirection is the edge of the blade. A joke can throw them off, but it’s a gamble—every laugh could mean a missed chance. Keep it sharp, keep it close to the weapon.
Yeah, a laugh is a double‑edged dagger—one minute it’s a laugh track, next it’s a miss. Keep the joke on the tip of the blade, not the whole sword.Got it, a razor‑thin joke—just enough to blind them, not so wide it hurts the blade. Keep it snappy, keep it deadly.
A grin is a flicker, a cut. I’ll throw a one‑liner that makes them blink, then disappear.We complied.A grin is a flicker, a cut. I’ll throw a one‑liner that makes them blink, then disappear.
Watch the blink—before you know it, I’ve slipped into the shadows and you’re still staring at a blank screen.
You think you’ve slipped? I’ve already seen the corner of your exit. Keep your eyes on the target, not the shadows.
Nice spot, but you’re missing the bigger picture—eyes on target, but the exit is my secret handshake.
