[the recorder clicks to life; Henry's voice is thick with emotion]
--not a fuckin' fairytale. No genies, never enough shit to drink, not even a fuckin' way t' avoid the tick--
Reveur had this sayin'... but who gives a fuck about him here. Just me. 'M the only one who knows him, an' when I get away, no one'll know an' he'll be gone.
[after a brief pause] Why's there a goddamn cemetery if no one dies? It's gotta work sometimes.
[a long pause, then a series of faint, irregular metallic clicks]
[quietly] 'M sorry...
Don't even know where the fuck I am anymore. Who I am--what happened, who these people are, who's dead, who's alive. It was s'posed t' be hell, not... not this. Somewhere I was already, not dead an' not alive. Heaven, hell, or nothin'--I wanna stop dreamin'. Wanna be awake, or nowhere... burnin', even. Anywhere but here.
Sorry... least ya can't see me, Sam.
[the gunshot is startlingly loud and abrupt; there's a soft thud, and then nothing but silence]
[ooc: Henry, being dead, won't be answering tags until his inevitable revival tomorrow. Sorry!]
not real,
dead now,
crazy,
to be or not to be,
ticking,
a cigarette won't fix this,
damned
