Her hands were deep in her pockets when she spoke to me. "I feel nothing," she said.
"Oh." I replied.
"Oh?"
"Oh."
"You don't get it. I feel nothing! No pain, no pleasure. No love, no hate. Nothing. I have this empty hole inside of me and I can't fill it with anything. I'm not hungry, I'm not thirsty, I'm not anything... I'm just living."
"And this is a bad thing?" Her hands come out of her pockets and are now balled into fists at her sides. I raise my hands in defense and take a step back. I chuckle and a smile crosses my lips.
"No offense, but I seem to find nothingness not that troubling. And anyway, I find that it's better than the alternatives." She stares at me incredulously. "Relax doll," I say, throwing an arm around her shoulders. "Plenty of people pay lots of money to feel nothing. You should consider yourself lucky you get it for free."
