"I wish they'd stop going on about it, the things that are unseen but for brief glimpses and shadows, and fully heard. The beings in their closets and under their beds, their voices carried in a wind that isn't there. They stand, stiff, breathing shallow and deep in the lack of light, dripping wet from the storm that didn't happen in this world, muddying up the carpet, mounting with stench. They're not there, you idiots, they're over here, in my eyes, in my head, buried between my lungs and pushing the limits of my bones, my weaknesses. Stop your complaining. If only I could muffle you." ~ Jade Day
DO: Ah, yes. Ms. Day is also a favorite author of mine.
[Anaïs smiles at Do.]
NURSE YUCKI: Really? I actually think that is interesting that we have similar tastes in literature.
DO: I know right!
NURSE YUCKI: I mean she could hook you with just one word.
DO: That she can.
[Do turns his head in another direction; Anaïs looks down as she clears her throat.]
NURSE YUCKI: So how are you feeling Do? Are your emotions gradually beginning to retract back into a more manageable state?
DO: Yeah somewhat, but they are still fluctuating a bit. I think I will be fine.
NURSE YUCKI: Would you like me to monitor you just in case?
DO: No, thank you, Anaïs. I think I can handle my emotions for now, but I will let you know if something comes up.
NURSE YUCKI: Promise?
[Do smiles at Anaïs.]
DO: Promise.
[Do’s stomach began to growl loudly.]
NURSE YUCKI: Ooh. Someone is hungry I am assuming.
DO: Ha ha well your assumption wouldn’t be wrong Anaïs. I am a tad bit hungry actually.
NURSE YUCKI: Well, considering that it is now lunch time, I suggest that you go to the cafeteria and enjoy yourself a lovely, hot afternoon meal. The cafeteria is down the hall to your left and is the third room on your right. In the meantime I think I will take a little detour and purchase some premium foods to consume.
DO: You know that actually wouldn’t be a bad idea.
[Do and Anaïs both laugh in equal synchronization.]
NURSE YUCKI: I’ll see you tomorrow morning, Do.
DO: Yes, you will. Have a great day Anaïs and thanks again
NURSE YUCKI: You’re welcome.
[Anaïs smiles and winks at Do on her way out. Do smiles back. Do then leaves the black room and exits through the entrance. Above Do’s head were signs that helped to direct him to take the proper route, but there was no need for him to read it as Anaïs had already instructed him on how to get there. Do continues walking down the hall until he reaches the third room on his right. There was a big sign above the entrance that said “CAFETERIA”. Do then entered the cafeteria to handfuls of laughter and patients talking amongst themselves while eating the meal of their choice. There was a moderately long line of which Do joined as he waited along with the rest of the patients to receive his lunch. Do noticed that a girl with *****, blonde shoulder length hair was standing in front of him. She was wearing glasses with square black frames much like the glasses that Dr. Nightmare often wore. She had beady eyes of an exceptionally moderate size and her skin was pearly white with a smile that was naturally inviting. She then spotted Do and appropriately began speaking to him.]
SPORE: Hello there. How are you?
DO: I’m doing okay. Yourself?
SPORE: Yeah, I’m alright but I wish this line would move just a little bit faster. This is driving me bonkers. So what’s your name if you don’t mind me asking?
DO: My name is Do.
[Spore reaches out to shake Do’s hand.]
SPORE: Spore. You have a pretty cool name you know?
[Do lightly laughs.]
DO: Well, thank you.
SPORE: You are certainly welcome, Do.
[Spore smiles at Do.]
SPORE: So where are you from?
DO: Like what country am I from or like what city?
[Spore chuckles.]
SPORE: I meant in general silly ha ha.
DO: Well, I’m from North America. I was born in a small town called Springfield, Illinois but I was raised in Memphis, Tennessee.
SPORE: Interesting.
DO: How about you? Where are you from?
SPORE: I am from British Columbia, Canada although I was raised in a small city named Abbotsford.
DO: What was it like there?
SPORE: At times it was weird and some days were worse than others, but I somehow managed to pull through.
DO: So how did you end up in here?
SPORE: Long story short I nearly decapitated my former friend’s head off with a chainsaw then attempted to slit my wrists with it.
[Do looked shocked as he was laughing at Spore’s statement.]
DO: Oooh brutal are we?
SPORE: Hey, ******* be trippin’!
[Both Do and Spore began laughing in equal succession. The line had continued to move forward. It was finally Spore’s turn to select the portions of her meal.]
LUNCH LADY: Good afternoon and welcome to Black Wick Cafeteria. Today’s specials are pizza and fish and shrimp. Today’s sides are coleslaw, biscuits and baked beans with your choice of cocktail or tartar sauce. What would you like?
SPORE: Um… I guess I will take the fish and shrimp with a side of baked beans and cocktail sauce and tartar sauce.
LUNCH LADY: That will be six dollars.
SPORE: That’s fine. You want anything Do? Lunch is on me today.
DO: Yes, I think I’ll have the same thing you are having.
SPORE: Alright then. Excuse me miss but could you add a duplicate order for my buddy Do here.
[The lunch lady nodded and began preparing Do’s order.]
DO: Thank you so much, Spore. I appreciate this more than you know.
SPORE: No problem.
[Spore smiled at Do. As Spore and Do were departing from the lunch line they heard a string of insults follow them as they were searching for a table.]
TABLE #1: Continuez à marcher baiseur. Vous n'êtes pas le bienvenu ici!
TABLE #2: C'est le tableau est réservé pour la belle et que l'intellectuel. Vous êtes trop stupide pour être considéré comme l'un de nous!
TABLE #3: Ahem! Excusez-moi, mais je n'arrive pas à reconnaître le potentiel de développement de la beauté ou de la popularité en vous. S'il vous plaît revenir quand ce jour est arrivé. Merci.
SPORE: Pay them no mind, Do. Just keep walking.
[Spore softly grabs Do’s hand as they are walking.]
WIFI: Hey look guys! Spore’s got a boyfriend.
WIFI’S TABLE: Oooooohhhhhh!!!!!!!
[All of the patients at that were sitting with Wifi began to mock Spore with several fake smooches and hugs. Spore blushed.]
SPORE: You see this is exactly why we never worked out WiFi. You were always so self-centered, narcissistic and desperate. No matter what we said, did or where we went it was always about you.
[Wifi got up and stood in front of the table behind him as he spread his arms out. WiFi had long, wavy, red hair with hazel eyes, and pearly white skin. He wore a black leather jacket with denim blue jeans and leather black boots.]
WIFI: Do you even realize how stupid you sound right now? If it was truly all about me we would have never dated. Think about what you are saying before you speak.
[Spore blushed again.]
SPORE: Yeah well…. Even then still it was about you.
[Spore gently wiped the tears that were streaming from her face. Her nose had turned bright red in response.]
WIFI: Eh what does it matter now? We’re not together anymore so we are wasting our time talking to each other. I’m trying to eat lunch and chill with my peeps. Beat it.
SPORE: *******, Wifi! I am leaving on my own terms not yours!
[WiFi balled his fists as he got up and began running at a speed believed to be faster than Superman. He was about to hit Spore but Do stepped in his way and blocked his punch.]
DO: You will not hit her or you will suffer the consequences.
WIFI: And what if I do? What are you gonna do? Punch me in the face? Are you gonna kick me in the *****? Ha ha I am used to that. Learn some new tricks and then we’ll talk okay. Now move out of my way.
[Spore screamed very loudly as WiFi tried to take another swing at her. Do blocked WiFi’s punch yet again only this time taking his arm and lowering his head as he slid under it. He then stood in the same position as WiFi while still holding his arm and began ramming his right elbow deep into his his nose breaking it upon immediate contact. Do then took WiFi’s wrist and arm and twisted them until they snapped breaking both areas of his arm instantly. He then picked WiFi up and slammed his rib cage directly on his knee and let him drop to the hard, marble floor.]
SPORE: Do stop! That’s enough!
[Spore was crying again as she stood there in shock. Everyone was watching. WiFi was laying across the floor in a fetal position with a small puddle of blood leaking from his broken nose. His eyes were barely open.]
WIFI: Ugh… Ugghh...
SPORE: Come on, Do. We’ll eat lunch outside.
DO: I think that would be a good idea.
SPORE: You and me both.
[Do and Spore grabbed their lunch trays and walked outside. It was sunny and the trees were still without leaves as it was still winter. The breeze was very cold. A musically digital sound began playing in the background. It was Spore’s cell phone.]
SPORE: Oh, and I just got a text from my friends of whom I’d love for you to meet. They want us to come and sit with them.
DO: Alright, I’m down. Where are they sitting?
[A girl with bubblegum pink hair was waving at Spore with a smile on her face.]
SPORE: They are sitting right over there against the brick wall.
DO: Ok then let’s go.
[Do and Spore walk over to the table where Spore’s friends were sitting. They arrive at the table and set their trays down as they took a seat.]
SPORE: Hey guys I have someone that I would like you to meet. Gum and Sweat meet Do. Do meet Gum and Sweat.
GUM: Hello, Do. It is a pleasure to meet you.
SWEAT: Sup Do? Glad to have you.
[Do shook both Gum and Sweat’s hands.]
DO: Hey. It is very nice to meet the two of you. Thank you for introducing me, Spore.
SPORE: No problem.
[Spore smiled once again.]
DO: So how did the three of you meet?
SPORE: Well, first of all I arrived at Black Wick on November 2, 2013. I met Gum later that evening as we were assigned as roommates. It wasn’t until about a week later that I met Sweat. He was fencing when we met and he finished then took off his fencing mask to greet me.
SWEAT: Ha ha yeah, I remember that. Those were some pretty memorable days eh?
GUM: Indeed they were.
DO: Where are you from Gum?
GUM: Oh, I’m from Oklahoma but I was living in Las Vegas, Nevada before I got here. Let me tell you I got into lots of mischief during that time. The parties were crazy and the night clubs were always packed. I hooked up with numerous guys and girls. I even did coke and **** do I regret that. I am never doing that ever again, but drinking is acceptable.
DO: How about you Sweat? Where are you from?
SWEAT: Oh, I’m from Memphis, TN but I was living in Cordova before being dumped in this hellhole.
DO: Dude no way! I live in Cordova too.
SWEAT: Really bro? That’s dope.
DO: I know right! So Spore who was that guy who was harassing you in the cafeteria?
SPORE: Oh yeah I almost forgot about that. The guy’s name is Willard Fike but everyone calls him WiFi due to his extensive computer programming and networking skills. He even knows how to build and send viruses to computers. Me and WiFi used to date which was long before the two of us ever ended up in here. One day we got into a very heated argument.
[The scene flashes to a black and white filtered memory. Spore and WiFi are standing in the middle of a living room arguing really loudly.]
SPORE: So you think it is ok to mug someone late at night as they are walking home?! What if somebody had saw you?! Do you have any idea what happened?!
WIFI: Look I don’t give a **** alright! I don’t have a job! I needed money! What the **** did you expect me to do?! Huh???!!! Answer me!!!!!!!
SPORE: You could try checking the job ads in the paper. You could try job searching within the city. There is no valid enough excuse as to why you mugged that innocent pedestrian.
WIFI: Well I don’t like being broke you can ride with me or you can go and **** yourself. Pick one!
SPORE: If money is important enough to sacrifice your dignity then perhaps you are better off broke because you deserve a dime and you sure as hell won’t be receiving a cent from me.
[WiFi one-two punched Spore deeply in her stomach and then punched her squarely in the eye before delivering an uppercut. Spore was laying on the floor crying as WiFi began searching the room for cash.]
SPORE: WE ARE OVER! DO YOU HEAR ME????!!!!! OVER!!!!!!!
WIFI: I DON’T GIVE A ****!!!!!
[WiFi begins searching around the room for cash. He searches for about 5 minutes before settling on a sum of $500 of which he found in Spore’s mother’s purse. Spore picked up her cell phone and attempted to the call the kkkkkpolice when WiFi suddenly placed a pistol to her temple and pulled back the trigger.]
WIFI: I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Put the **** phone down now before I **** you.
[Spore did as she was told and dropped the phone. WiFi took the phone and threw it into the fish tank behind him.]
WIFI: Now you won’t ever be able to make calls to anyone.
SPORE: You know you are never going to get away with this.
WIFI: Technically, I already have. The question is who is going to stop me?
[WiFi left right after he asked that question slamming the door hard as he walked out.]
[The scene flashes back to the present.]
SPORE: I never was the same after that night.
DO: And he got away just like that?
SPORE: Well word got around fast and the cops caught up with him two days later following a string of police reports. I filed the day following the event so I guess you could say that I set it off.
SWEAT: Still, that’s sad though.
SPORE: I know and as Do and I were looking for a place to sit, a bunch of patients started hurling random insults at us in French and that was when I came across WiFi. Him and his buddies were mocking us and saying that we were a couple when that couldn’t be further than the truth.
DO: You say that almost as if you are ashamed of me, ha ha.
SPORE: I’m sorry, Do. You know that’s not what I meant.
DO: Yeah, I know.
[Spore gives Do a hug.]
SPORE: How do you feel now?
DO: Better.
SPORE: Anyway me and WiFi got into another argument while in the cafeteria and he tried to run up and attack me. Luckily Do was there to protect me. He basically ****** WiFi up. I seriously wanted to laugh at how much of a ***** Do made him look. The guy was lying across the floor in a fetal position whining. I couldn’t have asked for a better picture.
[The four them laughed together in equal succession. Another loud noise overlapped their laughter from behind the wall. It was the sound of two voices moaning. Both of the voices were female.
GUM: What was that?
SPORE: I have no idea.
SWEAT: Don’t know. Don’t care bro.
DO: I think I’ll go and have a look just to see what’s going on.
[The moaning continued and became increasingly louder as Do walked around the edge of the wall and behind it. He found two Caucasian girls completely half naked. Both girls were laying across the grass in the sixty-nine position eating each other out.]
DO: This is going to be fun.
[Do chuckled and smiled as his ******* grew.]
