Loss of Everything is A-Okay

Yeah, so what? I really don't wanna fuckin'-1

"Just tell us."2

C'mon! I've told you a goddam million times! What the hell's gonna change?3

"It helps us make sure we have all the facts straight. Just tell us what happened. Start from the beginning."4

Fine. Can I have a cup of coffee before I...?5

"Sure."6

Okay, so like, it'd been a long day. I'm sure you've had that shit before, right? All fuckin' 'You need to improve your work ethic' shit man. Shit, I work my ass off every damn day. I've done more for that motherfucker than his goddam mom did.7

So anyways, I wanted to take some time off. So I go out for a drive. Figure, 'What the fuck, a little drive, take in some scenic shit, that'll calm me down.' I figured it would.8

So I get in my car, and there's this, this THING-9

"What did it look like?"10

Well, it was silver, and had this little, this little CHAIN on it, you know? And on the end was like this little heart like thing.11

"Sounds interesting."12

You're telling me. So I pick it up, and I look at it, but I can't figure nothin' out. I mean, I turn it around and shit, and there's this little thing on the back, like an inscription. It said, 'S.I.P.' Yeah, that's what it said. It looked like it could open, but I couldn't...13

"Then what happened?"14

Well, I kinda flicked my finger across that line where it look like it would open, and I just kinda...I don't know, I like, fuckin' blacked out or something. 15

When I woke up, I was just...man, I don't know WHAT the fuck was going on. I was seeing all this shit, like a weird acid trip. Like, people goin' really fast, like, seein' lines and shit behind them. Everything seemed sped up, and then it would slow down. Then I'd start seeing stuff like, like people's FACES all fucked up. Like, blank, or twisted man.16

"Then?"17

Well, I don't know. It just kinda, stopped. I blinked, and it stopped. And then I wasn't even THERE man. I was in some kind of fuckin' park like thing, and it was in the middle of the night. I was freaked the fuck out.18

So I start walking, tryin' to find my way out, and I can't man. I mean, it just goes ON and ON. And I start runnin', and screamin' like no fuckin' other man. And then I tripped, and just fell. When I looked up-19

"Yes?"20

-I saw someone. Like, some fuckin' teenager starin' at me. And man, I was like, 'Shit, that little fucker starin' at me...I'll beat his ass!'21

"But you didn't."22

No man, I didn't. I got this really weird feeling that if I did, shit was gonna get REALLY fucked up. More fucked up than it already was, you know?23

So he reaches down and grabs my hand and pulls me up. And I all like, stand, and he says to me, he says, 'Don't.' That's all he says. 'Don't.' I mean, I have NO idea what that's supposed to mean.24

So anyways, I ask him why, and then I blink, and I'm back holding that thing. And then YOU guys showed up.25

"Okay."26

So...you wanna tell me what the fuck this is about?27

"...I think maybe...Okay. Follow me."28

So...like...what is this place? It's all like, weird man.29

"Well, this is where the offices are. We try to keep hidden, not let the general public know what we're all about."30

So what are you all about?31

"We work with the paranormal. We're not exactly looked to highly upon by many of the religious fanatics and general civilization of America. We proved a lot of them wrong in a lot of things, and they frankly don't like it."32

Well, I wouldn't be surprised man. Like, fuckin' holdin' on to beliefs for a long time and you guys just shred them all to shit? Man.33

"Yes, but we use our deductions from long-term gathered facts and tests. And I think you're about to see one of them."34

What the hell are you talking about?35

"What you had discovered was a locket. It opens up and shows you a picture. Here, just press your fingers between this crack and push-"36

Okay, well-Hey! It's that kid! That one that pulled me out of that hole man!37

"Yes. It's the child you saw."38

How'd I get his locket?39

"Interesting enough question I suppose. I should give you a quick run-down I suppose. That child is dead. He's been dead for years."40

That's fuckin' impo-41

"Let me finish. He's been dead for years and yet you still saw him, and came under the possession of his locket."42

Where the hell are you going with this?43

"That's you."44

...45

"You fell into a hole when you were a kid. Accidentally, it caved in and buried you alive. Suffocation."46

So...then, well, how did I get so old?47

"You're, I guess we could say soul, moved to an alternative universe. You're stuck in soul limbo. Here, you've aged and grown, but still have a vague recollection of your old life."48

So...49

"So you're stuck with a choice. This, here, this building is sort of the defining location of this area. When 'lost souls' get stuck here it's up to us to decide where they'll remain where they go. Normally, we usually let them live here for the remainder of their years and then let them die and let whatever it is that controls them go."50

So I can stay here, right?51

"Unfortunately, no. When someone finds out about their past life, it messes up the equilibrium between universes. The small threads that hold them together are slowly shredded until it actually creates a vortex, destroying everything."52

So what the fuck is gonna happen to me?53

"Well, as stated, it is our decision. But when something goes like this, we have to go by the book. And in this particular case, you have to cease to exist. Meaning, we have to destroy your soul."54

What?! You can't do thi-55
