ITP: THE GREATEST DARKNESS

[beeurfriend]

[On the dirty floor leaning on a wall near you is a young man, looking fairly battered and probably cold. He seems bewildered by the oversized sign put up next to him, but doesn't appear to mind enough to bother with removing it, or moving much at all. The sign portrays a person a few years his senior, and asks as follows:]

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?

[ breaks the kamen rider chain. ]

'Fraid you're far from Hell.

[beeurfriend]

Where else would I be?

[trunkate]

Camp Fuck You Die. Welcome.

[beeurfriend]

That sounds close enough.

[trunkate]

[snort]

Not by a long shot.

[beeurfriend]

Have you seen darkness as well?

[trunkate]

[ amused. ]

I've seen more than just the darkness, boy.

[beeurfriend]

I'm envious.

[trunkate]

[ :) ]

Can't you see anything?

[beeurfriend]

I've tried, but shadows are cast upon my meaningless future.

[trunkate]

. . . you're a riot and a half.

[beeurfriend]

That sounds as incomplete as I feel...

[trunkate]

So sad for you.

[beeurfriend]

If I discard hope it will numb the pain.

[trunkate]

[ a short laugh. ]

Is that so.

[beeurfriend]

That choice is all I have left, after all.
