You see, I was going through my PSX games, and I realized something. I
have demos. I got one when I bought the system, and another when I bought
a magazine, and I think even a third. I recall having them, and playing
them. I haven't sold them, thrown them out, or lost them. But they're not
in with the games. Do you know why?
I haven't thought about them in a while. Out of sight, out of mind,
out of dream. That's right, dream, or more so nightmare. See I figure I
got the system in July of '96, I think. So I figure this is probably
November '96 right now, and these last six years have just been some crazy
nightmare I'm having. Here's what else I figured:
I'm just 16. I'm sleeping on my old waterbed. There's half a pack of
Marlboro Reds on my headboard, and I paid $1.98 for them. It's enough to
last me for the day, since I only smoke eight cigarettes a day. There's
anywhere from a dime sack to a half ounce taped beneath my dresser drawer.
I'm getting high before school this morning. There's a knife buried in my
closet somewhere, I can't remember where. Hopefully it'll occur to me once
I wake up, since I need that thing in my pocket. I wear cheap five dollar
a bottle cologne, not the thirty dollar a bottle stuff. I still have
troubles dealing with girls, and I'm just a few steps above the likes of
Gornul and Curism. My eyes can still stand the sun, my stomach is still in
good working order, and my lungs are still good enough to run with. My dog
Max, who is the best dog ever, is still alive and healthy, and I'm going
to walk her tonight.
But most importantly, and this is important, I'm going to school
today, and I'm going to see my girl. And I'm going to tell her I love her
more than anything, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her, and
desperately beg her to never leave me. Hell, I'll propose, why not. And
she'll no doubt say yes, because in the real world things actually work
out for me. I'll promise her the world, and mean it, because at sixteen I
had half a chance of delivering.
But as for all of you, sorry, but I didn't know any of you guys then.
You're all just figments of my nightmare. And soon I'll awake, and by the
end of the day at most you'll all be a distant and faded memory in my
mind. So I guess this is goodbye. So long suckers

1. Hmmm. I thought you were my age, but this marks you a couple
years younger.

2. If it's really only November of 1996, I have some serious work to
do.

3. I wonder how this works in terms of the rest of us having been
dreaming these seven years...

So.... I'm guessing the manic part is over and now it's time for the down

Was that a suicide note?

It wasn't, which you'd have known if you'd just take me out of your
killfile :P

The castle has this sort of polite aura to it. It just didn't seem
right.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm younger than you by like two years I think.
I was born in '80.

But...but...you're supposed to be a figmant of my imagination. When I
wake up you're going back into the part of my brain you spawned from and
getting back to your daily tasks. I can't have everything set right only
to have multiple personalities running around my head.

Perhaps we're all together and in a comma, like in all of those
episodes of twilight zone knock off type shows.

Why would I kill myself at the moment when everything is perfect. That
makes no sense. Besides, I've got too many loose ends to tie up before I
go off killing myself.

I wish. I don't suffer from that form of depression apparently. So no
mania. I could really go for some mania too.

Sorry if anyone was worried. I didn't think anyone would pay the post
much mind beyond incoherent ramblings of an over-active imagination. I'm
surprised anyone even answered, and the last time I checked the groups
only SR and Cov had replied in a happyish nature. I was going to check
when I got home tonight, but somewhere between getting the computer turned
on and checking, I fell asleep in my bed. I didn't think anything of it
until I heard from Nick a little bit ago.
BTW Nick, thanks for caring enough to call. Sorry about my state. I
was still trying to peace together who I was and where I was and who you
were and form words into sentences. And I've also had a very bad sore
throat lately, so between the two I guess I was pretty hard to understand.

You sounded like you were talking into a pillow, yes :P. But I was just
glad you were capable of speaking at all.
