Because I Loved You

Now what?

I stared at the floor. Years? I've been in this room for years? I looked at the bed. Was everything I've lived a lie? Could it all be a dream? I sighed and left the room. Going to my office, I sat at my desk. I placed my hands on the desk and looked at the door. Yes, it was all a dream. It never really happened. I grabbed a pen and made plans for a robbery.

Can you hear me? Are you listening to me?

I dropped the pen and snapped my head up. That voice was so familiar. It was from a time so far away.

Joker's Self Conscious
So you do hear me?

"Who's there?"

Joker's Self Conscious
You don't remember me? Well, I don't know me either. I just know I'm in your head, but I do know that I have a reason for being here. You have to listen to me. Or else the woman you love will never come back.

"That's not possible. She never existed." Or did she?

Joker's Self Conscious
She did. I can feel it. She's waiting for you. If you listen to me, you'll find her.

I stood up quickly. She's still alive? I had to find her! Grabbing my jacket, I went get the van.

Joker's Self Conscious
It's not that easy. You have to change.

What?
