Dear Readers,

I understand that the story seems quite confusing at first but that is my intention. This story is designed to make you think, to make you make assumptions. I want you to think about how each scene makes you feel and what each character's actions make you think. I want you to ask questions! Who is ____? Why is _____ like this? What happened to _____? I made this story more as a side project, something just to pass the time, but I still encourage my readers to think hard about the events in the story and how they have even come to fruition!

There is a reoccurring theme throughout the story that I want you guys to think long and hard about. When you figure out the theme, you will understand why the story is set up the way it is. But, for those who have difficulty figuring it out, don't worry! ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED IN TIME.

Anyways, onto the story. Damn, this note is way longer than the chapter. Heh.

>>>

Time: 6:45 pm. After work.
Setting: Parking lot.

Ashton: (creeps up behind Luke, grabs him by the back of his shoulders) RAH!

Luke: (jerks forward, drops his keys) Holy fucking shi- (realizes who scared him) Ashton! You motherfucker.

Ashton: (scrunches nose) I'm not into the whole incest thing, so no, thank you.

Luke: (twitches, grabs Ashton by the collar) I will fucking kill you one of these days! (lets go) You nearly gave me a heart attack!

Ashton: (grins, holds out container) I made you cookies, this time. Since you hate my cupcakes, apparently.

Luke: (sarcastic) Do these have strawberries, too?

Ashton: (sassy) Does your mom have a peen?

Luke: Enough talk about mothers and penises.

Ashton: (snappy) But I thought you liked penises, considering you're gay and all.

Luke: (slight anger, mocking) Thank you, dear sir. Glad to know that, just because I like men, that means that my life revolves around their genitals. (getting angrier, glaring) I had no idea all gay men must like penises. Should I tell my gay dog that his entire life revolves around the dick, as well? (sarcastic, snappy) "Sorry, Fido. You have no other purpose but to go around sniffing dick and humping butt holes." Glad I had that point straightened out.

Ashton: (small) I didn't mean it like that. (clutches container to self) I was just joking.

Luke: Well, you shou- (looks like he's about to blow up before he stops and breathes deeply, calming himself) Sorry. I just...I get iffy. Long day.

Ashton: (quiet) I shouldn't have joked, though.

Luke: You shouldn't have. (smirks, trying to lighten up the mood) Next time, I'll punch you in the face with my gay dog.

Ashton: (short chuckle) Violence, murder, animal abuse, incest. If I wanted to witness a rerun of Game of Thrones, I'd have stayed home.

Luke: (snorts) I'm not sure whether to be honored or offended.

QOTD: Have you noticed the theme yet?
