Prompt: frank


“So! How do you feel?”

“I want to kill you.”

“That’s nice, but how do you feel?”

“Itchy, and I still want to kill you.”

“Of course. Anything else you want to get off your chest?”

“I ran up your credit card.”

“And?”

“Ruined your credit rating.”

“Ah, good. I had thought it was someone else.”

“I put your mom in a home and told your family you did it.”

“Well, that explains last Christmas.”

“I downloaded a lot of child porn to your computer.”

“Annnnd that answers that question. The police were understanding, though.”

“I destroyed your comics collection.”

“How?”

“I poured a pitcher of water into the box and added some spores.”

“Yes, I thought woodear mushrooms were a little unusual. Anything else?”

“You look like a nerd.”

“Okay, well, I think the new truth serum’s effective. You do realize that I’m going to kill you now.”

“Go ahead. I yearn for the sweet release of death.”

“Why?”

“Because it gets me away from you.”

“Yes, I can see that.”
