I guess it was nice of you to find some icons for me. But I don't get it. Why me? Why are you writing for me? Are these my words or my own? Am I in the story? I don't WANT to be in a story, even if it's on the internet.

And who's Shia Lebouf? Why am I running from him?

[ijustlivehere]

Yeah? Like what?

[never_asked]

You wouldn't believe it, no one ever does.

[ijustlivehere]

I believe stuff.

[That's pretty weak. But it's apparently the best he's got.]

[never_asked]

You won't think I'm crazy?

[ijustlivehere]

Prob'ly not. [Neil's seen crazy people, and thus guy doesn't seem like one of those.] You're not gonna try to kill me, are you?

[never_asked]

No!

I just...I try people telling them this and they call me crazy and freak...they just don't listen!

[ijustlivehere]

Oh.

Uh. People, uh. Don't listen to me either, sorta. So, y'know.

[never_asked]

Well...







I sort of talk to the dead.

[ijustlivehere]

Huh. My girlfriend was dead when I met 'er. [Ex-girlfriend, probably, but he's not mentioning that part. He's a cool guy, of course he has a girlfriend.]

What else?

[never_asked]

That's...kind of it.

[Sheepishly rubs the back of his head.]

Your girlfriend?

[ijustlivehere]

Oh.

[That's not weird at all, dude. By this guy's standards, anyway.]

Yeah, I mean I guess technically she was -- is -- undead. But, y'know, no heartbeat and all that stuff.

[never_asked]

That's cool, I guess. So she's a zombie?

[ijustlivehere]

I guess so. Only, y'know, like, not green and... stumbly. And hot.

[There's a stupid grin that goes with this. But it kind of falters, and then there's much clearing of the throat and changing of the subject.]

So, uh, 's hanging out with dead people cool?

[never_asked]

Yeah, that wouldn't be so great.

It's okay. I mean I watch movies with my grandma all the time. And the people in the neighborhood are pretty cool.

...it's just the living in my town that make it so hard.

[ijustlivehere]

Why? What's the deal with your town?

[never_asked]

They just think I'm freak. And they bully me for it.

[ijustlivehere]

Dude, that... that sucks! Just 'cause...

I mean, d'you think like... maybe going somewhere else will help, y'know? Like, if your mun's offering and everything.

[never_asked]

I don't know WHAT my mun wants to do with me, he won't say.

[ijustlivehere]

Nothing at all?

Hm... I guess he could be thinking about sending you to a weird place...
