“Okay, now that we are settled, I’d like to ask you a couple questions.”

“Would you like a parent or guardian here?“

No.

“Are you sure? A support would be-“

I need none of what you offer.

“..You do realize what hangs in the balance?”

I am all knowing, I am aware of everything.

“It is interesting you decide to say something like that. I’d like to ask..”

You
Are
Not in control

“Listen, I am just trying to get a sense of… you.”

_Did you expect me to cut you off? How low do you think of me.

“Stop, please.. just stop.”

stop? STOP? YOU WANT ME TO STOP? I BET YOU DO! I WONDER WHAT YOU WOULD DO TO GET ME TO STOP!

Your eye..

….

I’m.. I regret that, I’m sorry. I’m tired, really.

“You are..just a child.”

And you are just a woman.

Hm

You seem uncomfortable. So, to lighten the mood you must answer a simple question.

Do you fare well in the darkness?

“I ask the-“

I feel it all around us, It is suffocating. Your beautiful face is hidden behind something, what it is I cannot tell

“Darkness.. we were talking about darkness, tell me more about it.”

Do you like it when I hover over you?

You..

“No. Sit down, now.”

Do you like it when you feel my breath? If you feel anything at all.

“Give. Me. Space.”

SHUT UP! I need you to just BE QUIET. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT-

“Sit..”

Please.. I’m sorry. I am.

I- Are you not going to, tell me it is okay?

“The truth doesn’t matter here.”

The sun is nothing more than a ray of hope that will stop shining down on us the moment we see the truth.

“Look, I—“

Do not speak over me

****. Off..

No, don’t. DON’T LEAVE

I need to ask you again.. do you fare well in the darkness?

….

“no.”

Niether do I.
