humans are just wild animals

“It was three years ago when we broke up, that doesn’t mean that I still know you. Hell, I don’t even know what you’ve been doing for the past three years and probably vice versa. That’s nice, Ruby. Glad you can make friends on your own. Curls, such a nice nickname that I’ve had since I was three.”

“You know not all girls that go to baseball games are lesbian. They may just like baseball.”

“Yeah, well, getting used to it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to live with it. Aha ! But you stand corrected there—-I led you into a trap. The correct answer being there’s no such thing as too many episodes of Ghost Adventures since having Zak completely piss off a ghost and tell it to go after anyone but him never fails to amuse me. Quality entertainment right there; have to hand it to you Americans when it comes to your reality television. You sure, mate ? Never really could know for sure—-might be what the ghosts want you to believe. Mob boss, huh ? You sure know how flatter a man. But I suppose that’s a way to put it. Violence and guns generally aren’t things I associate with—-anyone could handle a gun and doesn’t prove much. Hm, precisely. I have a certain skill set that can be viewed as beneficial to some and I’m quite good at my job.”

“That is true. Zak is a coward if you ask me. Honestly, you should never really tell a ghost to go after a person. That’s rude and how would you like to be told what to do?. There is a theory where ghosts just go through their normal activities like they did when they were alive, so , telling a ghost what to do wouldn’t phase them. You are just a nuisance to them if you do it. I’m pretty sure that I’ve never had a ghost in my house. At least, I hope I didn’t. Isn’t flattery the best policy? Well, I hope that I’m not the target if you’re good at your job. I’d rather not end up getting killed.”

“I’m sorry about that, mate. Here’s to better days and less anxiety. Mirror backwards, huh ? Now you have me thinking of those supernatural myths where ghosts travel between the realms through mirrors. Unless I just watch far too many episodes of Ghost Adventures. Ouch, my heart is wounded that you think so lowly of me. My dirty work is handled by myself only—-don’t trust anyone else to get the job done. A suggestive look or two with a coy smile just gets the ball rolling faster so I can do what I wanna do.”

“Eh, you get used to it. You learn how to live with it. You’re watching way too many episodes of Ghost Adventures because from all the years flipping the mirror, I’ve never had a ghost in my house. Ever. Sorry, I thought you were like the mob boss or something, you have others deal with the problems while you make the deals and shit like that. Or is that backwards? I don’t know. I understand where you’re coming from now, yeah. So, you’re the person people go to if they want shit done, right?”

“Yeah, I’m going to be vague about because right now, I don’t know you. You honestly think I would be talking to a handlebar mustached person? Be serious now. Yeah, you could say that I have a few friends around here. I have Miles, Alaska, and Macy. What about you?”

“Ahh, I see. I came here because, well, let’s just say that I needed to get out of the house. No. Of course, she isn’t a pedophile, we did Skype video chat. And she’s a friend, emphasis on friend.”

“Oh, that doesn’t seem all that pleasant. —-What about when you’re getting ready in the morning ? Or is it more of a quick glance kind of thing to make sure you don’t have toilet paper clinging to your foot or nothing staining your pants ? Ah, a person of integrity. Can’t say the same for myself.”

“Yeah, it’s not. Usually, yes, full body mirror quick check then I’m done and I turn the mirror backwards. Strange compulsion, but it makes me feel better. Ah, so you get people to do your dirty work while you stay back in the shadows, I see.”

“I know right? It’s quite an amazing idea. Hope you don’t mind me asking, but where did you take her?”

you said hello.

“Hello? That’s it? ------ W o w. Someone is not in a very pleasant mood, today.”
