After

"Why don't you read my notes?"

Your voice bellowed in my head as I stared at you.

You tried to talk to me.

I can't believe it.

It's taken you three million years in my head and twenty multi-coloured post-it notes that linger on my wall for you to actually grow some balls and fucking talk to me.

I don't say this to your face, of course. The last time I spoke to you obviously flashed a warning sign in my head saying "IF I TALK TO YOU, YOU'LL PROBABLY FALL INTO A COMA"

You sighed.

And tried again, you did.

"Do you actually know my name or do you hate me for no apparent reason at all?"

Of course I knew your name, I'd be an idiot if I didn't.

Your hands began to shake.

Your eyebrows narrowed.

You were getting angry.

I could tell.

Your voice strained like you were hurt as you tried to be nice.

But you could never be nice.

You are a monster.

You stood up and kicked the chair you were seated in before closing the door behind you.

I collapsed my back onto the rock hard mattress, sighing in relief.

I closed my eyes but sleep refused to come.

This prison cell was built for two and my imaginary inmate was far nicer than you.
