" let me ask you a question. how do you keep yourself from slowly murdering the people who annoy you? do i need a stress ball or a voodoo doll or what? "

                    " you know what you need to do? get out of the house and stop wallowing. come watch me fight tomorrow. "

                    " yeah, i loved it. it was so good. i didn't miss a second of it. " except when he got terrified every couple of minutes, and burned through the twenty dollars he paid for his popcorn and soda that spilled all over him when he jumped at the first sound louder than a breath. " you looked really hot, too. when you were still alive. "

                    " can't you look at me the way you look at tofu at least once? " he knows his request will fall upon deaf ears —— god forbid he interrupt the love story between his cat and his bed buddy. " i mean, i feed you, bed you and cook for you. what does tofu do? purr once in a while? "

                     " i think you mentally shattered number three. i saw him on my way over here and he was sitting by the lockers with a weird look on his face being fanned with some pamphlets. "

"see... i am trying to be gentle here, but..." oscar trailed off, raising a hand up, a carefully packed bag full of homecooked meals dangling from it. "i got you food. the stale cheetos are the edible equivalent of packing peanuts — i mean... packing peanuts are allegedly made to be edible, but that's not what i mean !! carbs and protein are important, and those got none of that." as he continued, the nurse scanned his surroundings, trying his best not to have a strong reaction. "when was the last time you've let some sunlight in ?? have these windows been even open since the last interve—... the last visit ?? i swear, my sister's got a better survival instinct... and she's notoriously known to be the accident prone by the news !!" // @lonehearts

"hey, uhh... — do you mind if i hole up in here with you... for a loooong while ??" the question was quite unnecessary, kimmy has already found solace in the random pillow, hugging it close to her chest as she was sat ( comfortably !! ) on the floor. "i was in the store, the cashier was checking me out, and instead of just saying the usual thank you and goodbye, i accidentally added 'i love you' at the end," she rambled, no intention of stopping. "and... when they asked 'what ??', in confusion... — i repeated myself, with much more passion than it was necessary. h-how ?? why ?? i didn't even know them !! i can't go back out there !!" ah, the drama queen. the usual. // @lonehearts
