Another Life
Alright, there’s gonna have to be a few things I explain to you before I can let you pass any further. Ha, don’t worry I won’t take up too much of your time. This is as much about saving your life as it is about protecting mine. You know how there are two people inside every soul? Of course you know this, look at you. I love you already and I barely even know you, of course you know. Well, sorry to say but you’re believing a falsehood there, buddy. I didn’t want to be the one to break it to you, me being so madly in love with you and everything, but that’s the way it goes. Can you really know something if you are believing something that doesn’t actually exist. Or if it’s not even right? Bah, I’m off topic. I don’t want to waste your precious time I know you’ve got shit to do.
What? Why would you want me to keep daddling about, this is some important information you should know before you proceed? I think. Well, whatever. You’re the boss, lady, I’ll dance around the subject for a bit. I refuse to wax philosophical, however. Nasty business philosophy. Not because they think for millennia but never seem to get to the bloody point, that’s just what humanity’s doing in a more applied fashion. At least philosophers are more honest about it. I think we should move on. I won’t get philosophical but I will ensure that we spend some time here, waiting. That’s what you want, right? You want to wait. That’s cool, I spend 23 hours of my day waiting here and the other hour wishing I wasn’t
Every conventional fact you knew about what people are and the nature of their soul, whether it’s inside us or whether we are encased in it or whether the soul truly is indestructible, is absolutely none of my concern. That lies more in…sorry I just realised I was patronising a good friend of mine. Not you, you’re not my friend. Yes, I know I said I loved you but that’s more of an unrequited deal, if you wouldn’t mind. I really don’t want anything right now. I think therefore I am is a piece of advice that only really applies to crackpots who have reason to distrust the universe. Let’s just ignore that for now.
Okay, I think I’ve told you everything I can. You are free to leave now. What? You sayin’ I didn’t get to the actual point? I thought that’s what you wanted! Ah, I see. You wanted just a bit more padding. Faretheewell, aro voir or whatever the way you pronounce that french stuff is. I think our time here has come to an end. This is the conversation of a crazy person and I want no part in it. Still, I probably should tell you the point. There’s a surprise party behind that door. THAT’S why I’ve been out here…Oh you already knew? Well why in the hell did you let me talk for so long?
Ah, you saw them moving furnishings around, that makes quite a lot of sense. I made sure they weren’t just ransacking your room but you can never be too careful with these people. These people being your friends. I think… Actually let me check one last time.
Ah again, unfortunately it seems like your former friends have made off with all of your possessions, man, what a rotten bit of luck. But I find it’s the people who allowed them in that are to blame, which is me for the record. I understand if you no longer desire to be friends and that is a position which I would endorse wholeheartedly. What? Oh right you’re a dummy and you’ve never been a living organism. Right, now that you…I mention it that does make a frightening amount of sense.
