Post-Computer Freeze Messanger Re-enactment

I feel like your life got worse after I came along.

Well, it did, but it was just an extra shove down a path I was falling.

You know, you contributed to my life more than you realize.

How so?

Well, I took advantage of your emotions for quite sometime, and afterward I realized Ii can't do that in a relationship, and I haven't since.

Oh god, please don't ever say that again.

Why?

Because you are basically saying 'Thank you for letting me benefit from your intense pain. And that is an old song that I have heard in every relationship I have been in since you. And now, I just really don't/can't allow myself to care about anyone. Look, I am not hurt or offended. We are not the same people we were then. Just please, never bring it up again. It's buried; I've moved on.

Burial is not the same as acceptance.

I step outside a room to see that an exit sign in the hallway has fallen and is hanging from the ceiling from a thin wire cord. Is it sparking? The red light bulbs flicker unnaturally (as if such a thing were natural in the first place). I wonder if I should notify someone, but after today, I think my life would benefit from the whole place going up in flames.

It will reach me before the alarm sounds.
