Check yourself into the nearest mental hospital or buy the reincarnated fairy tale shit.

Though I take it you'd rather do neither.

Yeah... are you sure I don't have a third option?

Denial? Not advised.

Why not? Seems easiest.

The easiest path is rarely the right one, I've found.

Anyways, tried it.

I don't care much about what's "right" these days. Bit burnt out on that shit.

What happened? Dragons start flying out of the sky to smite you? Because that would be pretty fucking cool, actually.

Given up on that quest, have you?

Nothing quite so exciting, I'm afraid. Pretending something isn't there when it's staring you in the face gets rather tedious.

Huh. Do you think there are reincarnated dragons? Because I don't think I'd mind as much if I could be a dragon. That'd be kickass. Or like G.I. Joe or something. He'd be cool too.

Anyway, used to be a priest. I'm all stocked up on right and wrong. And we're pretty good at denial.

Don't see why not. Though I also wouldn't be entirely surprised to find the Grinch and the Cat In The Hat walking around in the next hundred years or so.

Really? And why the change of heart?

So I'm supposed to believe that every time someone writes some stupid kid's story down, a reincarnated fairy tale pops up? Dude, that's twisted.

Decided I don't actually like priests. Or that whole spartan living, vows of poverty and chastity, devoting your life to God business.

As Quentin put it, the stories have run so deep into the human subconscious that we've manifested identities of our own. Or so we assume. We've got Peter Pan and the Wizard of Oz, so Seuss can't be much of a stretch.

So it was a revelatory moment. Gotcha.

Wait, who's Quentin? Was that Jackass's name? I could have sworn it started with a j...

So popular kid's stories then. If Harry Potter shows up, I'm definitely throwing this thing back in the closet.

No, I think you mean Jacob. Quentin is a friend of mine?

I think there's a certain period of time that needs to lapse before Hermione starts showing up. You're safe - in this lifetime, anyways.

Jacob, yeah, that's the guy. Didn't like him much.

Shit, I'm going to have to do this again? Isn't there some kind of escape clause or some shit? Like if I promise to be a really good boy, I get freedom.

People rarely do.

Freedom to what, exactly? I would've thought, given your apparent outlook on life, you'd want to squeeze every possible moment out of life. Lives. Whatever.
