Title: Wings

Again smut free..sort of. This was where my mind really was traveling. *shakes head at plunnies of Saskia and Meep*
inspired by Hermes

Wings. There were wings on the motorcycle logo, Harley Davidson if he remembered properly. He saw it two lanes over on the back window of a car in front of him. He starting wondering why the wings. What made them choose that to put on the logo when the nearest thing he could think of like it was the caduceus that Mercury carried and where the hell did that come from?

Wings. Birds had them. Humming birds beat their little wings so fast you couldn’t see them as other than a blur of motion. Egyptian goddesses had them. He remembered seeing them amongst the photos of artifacts found in the King Tut tomb.

Winged beings. The Ark of the Covenant supposedly had them. Mesopotamians had winged protective beings that guarded kings on palace gates and seals. Hermes himself had wings on all sorts of places, Whitney smiled at the whimsy of a drawing he’d seen recently. There’d been wings on Hermes’ hat, ankles, back, staff, Whit wouldn’t be surprised if there’d not have been more except there wasn’t really any place to put them in the drawing. That concealing cloth didn’t cover much of the god’s body. ‘Not what one should be thinking of while driving. Mind on the road,’ he thought.

Perhaps, that’s where Whitney’s mind should have been. Angels don’t take kindly to people mentally ogling their winged brothers. Hermes was one of theirs. And so the Angel of death was sent down. Whitney saw a flash of light and then there was nothing and it’s not like Hermes was going to guide him to the underworld after that mental train of thought.

LOL I applaud you *bows* you did indeed manage it smut-free :D

Love the randomness of his thought patterns, going from logo to humming birds to history then legends.

I'm still pretty sure the Angel of Death is going to wrap Whit up in a nice big ribbon and bow then send him direct to Hermes with a note 'Just Wing It' *grin* leaving Whit to hover on '(little golden) wings and a prayer (oh gods)'
*strolls away humming*

*cringes* This was what my mind was doing today while driving. *grins* I'm glad being in my mind amuses.

The wings on the caduseus, is to signify that Hermes is swift. Now what does this say about what else he does swiftly, one could conjecture.
Can't you see him in sexual therapy learning how to overcome his premature ejaculation. Treatment and drugs look promising.
