58 - Phone

[ceasetoexist]

I lived through it. All of it.

I guess when I first got here I would have said that to brag, but now I guess I want to say....I dunno. That if that's their worst? It can still be beaten.

God. I don't know. I suck at being all "blah blah hope blah blah it'll be fine" since it's usually bullcrap. But I guess I'm just saying. What happened sucked, but it's not like...the most hopeless thing ever.

They're scared. That's what I think. It's why they went this far. I dunno if we're on to something but we must have done something right to make them do something that drastic.

Because you know what I think? They're demanding we be thankful? They need us to. I don't know why yet, but it's necessary for whatever system they've got going on. Think about it. The demand for conformity, the droning to what's desired if we don't. They need us to be here and act a specific way, because if we don't....well, I dunno. I think that it's that if we exist here for long enough, not doing what they want? We compromise their system. They need us to behave a certain way or something doesn't stick, or the stability of this place'll start going off, or something.

That's what I think.

Hey. Idiots. And I'm pretty sure you know which ones I'm talking to? Not that I care or anything, but call me if you can, y'know, manage to use the phone.

Pretty sure those are drug dealers too, bro.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Huh. I guess there is a lesson to be learned about dealing drugs after all.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

There's no such thing as a free lunch?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

No. There's very few ways to really deal drugs in a cool fashion.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

It's hard to make a good old fashioned buck these days.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

No one knows what it's like for a businessman these days, man. No one.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

We're in the fifties, money should be fallin from the trees.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Maybe we oughta rattle the branches a bit more.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

How about I give you a lift and you can go check.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

May wanna rethink that plan, cause if there's money up there?

Taking it all and kicking your head down to the curb.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Fine with me, good luck getting back down without my assistance.

Maybe you can use the buck you find to hire someone to cargo lift you to safety.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm not going anywhere. I'll live in the damn tree.

Have everything I'll ever need, anyway.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Damn. You've got this all thought out.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Sorry. You made a deal with a master of the con.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

You played me good.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

No offense man.

It's just what I do.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

None taken.

Just shocked at how utterly I have been pantsed.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Not my fault man. You're in good company too, the kinds of people I've pulled this on.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Give me names. We'll form a support group.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Can't do that man.

Confidentiality, y'know?

[timetables.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to know my identity is at least safe then.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Your identity may be secret, but your shame never will be.

It'll radiate off you for everyone to see.

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Like a stench I can never wash away

Smells sort of like dog piss.
