Good answer.No, I believe it's a simile....Though it does elicit a negative connotation, more often than not.
Lucky it wasn't the Wongs.Ok here’s one about my time working in the US. I’m a social worker as you have prob picked up from my posts and I was invited to do a local TV spot about a missing girl.
Anyway after the show I start to get some odd calls from people in need (finding me online etc) which isn’t unusual, except one persistent woman calling herself ‘Kee’ with some obvious issues.
She kept going on about another kid that had been kidnapped she was clearly very anxious about but it was hard to take this seriously.
So later this colourful bird keeps turning up wherever I am, following me along with some Asian kid I keep getting glances of. Like the same kid Kee was looking for.
Anyway tragically, next day the missing girl is found in a bad way, near some really weird obscure Asian occult paraphanelia.
Turns out, Kee says house was a holding place for the kid she’s after and introduces me to Doctor Hong, a mystic expert, and Kala (a creature half dragon, half woman, who remains hidden behind a screen).
Kee and I tracked down a motorcycle gang, the Yellow Dragons, and Chinese restaurant owner Tommy Tong, a henchman of Numspa, to whom Cheryll, the original missing girl, had been taken to as a way to make the Asian kid vulnerable to earthly harm. Turns out he’s magic or some s**t.
However, Tong was killed by Numspa as a potential traitor. Still not taking the case too seriously, I was drawn by Numspa into a controlled dream, where I received a burn mark on my arm.
Numpsa presented his demands: the Ajanti Dagger (a mystic weapon capable of killing the child) in exchange for the boy. I finally agreed to help.
Me and Kee travelled to Tibet, where I was swindled by an old amulet seller, later revealed as the High Priest of the temple where the dagger is kept hidden (and, subsequently, Kee's father).
In order to obtain the blade, I had to pass a test: an obstacle course in a bottomless cavern whilst carrying a glass of water without spilling a drop. With luck and wits, I recovered the blade and even managed to bring it past customs into the United States.
That night, Numspa and his henchmen attacked me and Kee. The Ajanti Dagger was lost to the villains, and Kee took a crossbow bolt meant for me, dying in my arms while confessing her love.
Doctor Hong and Kala offered hope: as long as the sun shines upon Kee, the child might be able to save her.
With the help of the bird from earlier, I located Numspa's hideout, retrieved the dagger with the help of Til, one of Numspa's men converted to good by the child, and freed the boy.
When i confronted Numspa, he revealed himself as a demon. Me and the child escaped, only to be trapped inside a warehouse.
I lost the dagger when the warehouse collapsed, with Numspa buried under falling masonry.
The child and I headed to Doctor Hong's shop, where Kee was being kept. As we approached Kee's body, a badly injured but berserk Numspa attacked me, but the amulet the old man sold me blasted the dagger from Numspa's hand.
The child used his magic to place the dagger back into my hands, and I stabbed the demon through the heart, destroying him.
The child then used the last rays of sunlight and his powers to bring Kee back from the dead.
The three of us later took a walk discussing the child’s return to Tibet.
Was a wild few days tbh
TBF there was a lot to process and when I read about Asian gangs I had to reference "The Wanderers".That’s what you took from that post?
That's it.What did I miss?That’s the one movie you see as being referenced in that post?
So are you saving her life or yours?
Or both?
Makes sense now.The word ‘wild’ in the last line is a reference to the 1953 Brando flick ‘the wild one’
Thought that was pretty obvious
