Chapter 3: I want to die part 3.

In just under half an hour, he managed to reach the building. It was oddly located beside a private children's day care centre, but this wasn't something he was going to concern himself with. The young man walked into the building and was guided by a corridor which he followed until he reached the end. As he trotted he could hear the echoes of his footsteps and felt an eerie sense of isolation in this dark looming path. Eventually he encountered a door which had a buzzer. He rang it and then in a matter of seconds it just slid open. This seemed rather creepy but he pushed it wide open to find a tiny room with a receptionist desk. There were no windows in sight and it seemed as if the only visible light source was a fluorescent light bulb lodged at the centre point of the ceiling in the room. The lady who had answered his phone call was sitting behind the desk, gazing at her monitor. She looked dazzling as if she were a model. She had a bob cut hairstyle, bushy eyebrows, lavender eyeliner and extremely neotenous features. Her skin was ebony light and her lips were full like Angelina Jolie. Her bosom was that of a busty woman and it seemed as if she was wasting her talents on a desk job. As Tanatswa walked in, the door closed in behind him and he could hear some locking mechanism taking place within the interior of the door. He glanced back and then forth and decided to just interact with the receptionist.

"Hi, I called earlier today enquiring information about this place, so I wanted to know how I can get this euthanasia?" he asked, in an unsure manner.

"You're the 23 year old who was on the phone right?" she asked, standing up and showing more of her figure.

"Yes that was me." he said, standing firmly as she prepared to reply.

"It has been only 30 minutes since you called, hmm you must be really desperate to die." she stated with a lax tone. Tanatswa immediately maimed his face with worry after her tasteless remark. The lady noticed his sudden change of expression and became immediately self aware. She pulled her hair back and sighed, "I guess that was a bad joke. Well sit down and I will call one of our doctors to have it arranged for you. Just fill in this form." The lady handed him a form which only needed his personal information and also had the option of him choosing either to give away his organs for a donor or to have them kept in his body post death. Tanatswa wondered how long it would take to finalize this process and asked her, "How long would it take for this procedure?"

"Well after filling in the form you'd have to go through a 5 to 10 minutes consultation with one of the doctors, it's a preliminary thing that we have to do before the procedure. Once the consultation is done, we will proceed to the act of euthanasia."

"What would the consultation be about?" he asked, confused by what was to come.

"It's basically a talking session with the doctor as your last chance to back out before you commit. We also assess the psychological reasons for your decisions and use it in our research to come up with a commonality for why people seek suicide. So it's also partly some statistical mambo jumbo that the data mining people use for our reports."

"Wow, I guess euthanasia requires a lot of paperwork, hmm, so is it really painless?"

"Well the process is painless and no one ever screams during their final moments, so don't worry, it will be like you fell asleep and never woke up." she said, reclining into her seat. Tanatswa finished the form and handed it back to her. She asked for his ID which she scanned and then returned it to him. He swallowed a bit of his saliva and lamented about what he was going to do.

"I have a question, how many people have to this place?" he asked glancing at her with a sad look.

"Well not a lot, but last week we had 5 people come in and a lot of them were young adults like you. It seems like young people are not happy these days."
