Them

I’m going to kill him but first I have to find him; or is it her? Them. I gotta find them but them singular not plural. You seen them? What do they look like? You’ll know when you see them. Trust me, you’ll know, you can’t miss them. No, I didn’t get a picture. Son-of-a-bitch, I should’ve taken a picture. Why didn’t I …?

Why? Yes, I know killing isn’t legal but three lefts make a right and two wrongs make a left. Well two wrongs don’t make a right so two wrongs must make a left, right?

So we have to find them and put them out of my life and off of Earth so they can’t hurt anyone else. What did they do to me? You know what they did to … Did they do it to you too? Damn it. I bet you they hurt you too so let’s kill them together. Gentlemen, choose your weapons. Someone told me if I throw a Molotov cocktail that’ll kill them, once we find them and I got one right here, see?

Yes it is. I asked the bartender for a Molotov cocktail, paid for it, and he gave me this. Yes I know I am but I won’t be after I find them and kill them. Then I’ll be free and so will everyone else? Get things straight? As opposed to gay? Go over what I’ve said, ok. I don’t know what they look like. That’s right. I don’t know where they are or what they’re wearing. That’s right too and I want you to find them and kill them. But we can kill them if they come into our home and we’re afraid for our lives. It said so on the TV show. I don’t remember what TV show but they said it official like. Yes, I know we don’t live in the same home or the same neighborhood, but …

To quote Monty Python, “I am not a looney”. I have a …. Oh, yes, you’re right. I have told you that a million times… but then you understand. That’s why you’re talking to me so others won’t? But that means you know what happened. I told you what happened, right? What? Nothing happened. Of course something happened and you’re hiding them in this house, aren’t you? Hiding who? Them? I already told you I don’t know what they look like, but … circles. We’re talking in circles again. Right, details. Look, if you know what they did and you know where they are …. You didn’t say that. I know I didn’t do it. Where were you when it happened? When did it happen? Yester …? I don’t remember.

Let’s start over with what we know. Did I tell you what happened? No, you don’t have to hear it again if you know what happened. But in that I thought I told you where and when it happened. Then why the hell are you asking me if you already know? Let’s find the …. are they a bitch or a son-of-a-bitch? Tell you. You said I already did. Yes, I know I’m angry and my adrenaline and cortisol are up but they’ll be down again if we get even and get rid of them. You’re hungry and want to eat something? Lunch break? But they’re still out there. No, I don’t need the bathroom. Wash up. Take a shower? What the hell’re you talking about. I don’t need help with any of that. I need to find them and kill them because …. I did? I’ve already told you this? Are you sure? Ok then let’s … deep breaths.

I think it was a man. It’s make sense it was a man. Yes, I knew them. People who know you can hurt you more than people who don’t know you. Think they were in their late twenties early thirties. Where did I know them from? They were the bathroom attendant? Why are you laughing? Bathroom for where? Restaurant. Think it was a restaurant or maybe a theater. It was a restaurants. What restaurant? I don’t remember? We could call up the restaurants and find out which have restaurant attendants. You already did. None of them do? But they did it because I didn’t give them a tip and I …. We’re not playing the game Clue or 20 questions. We’re playing Memory, right? What do you remember? You’d rather not …. Look. Are you going to help me find them or …. Then it must be you. You’re …. Where were you when …. When? Yesterday. It was yesterday. Maybe we should call the police. Tell them what happened. Yes I do. I know what happened. Somebody hired you to confuse me. It was the bathroom attendant. Where’s your paycheck come from? Never heard of that. What’s your job? HHA? Is that like the FBI ? You sure?

What’s it stand for? Aid in what? Ok.

Why? No. I’m not …. Doctor? They did? Test? I don’t remember that. Damn it, I bet you they paid off the doctors to tell the government some bullshit about what’s wrong with me. Now let’s get back to where this asshole is so I can kill this son-of-a-bitch. You are out? No I know that they were a bathroom attendant in a restaurant around here. That means it had to be a gourmet restaurant and I’m male so they have to be male because it was a man’s room. Tell me about what you know.? but you’re in the HHA which is part of the CIA or FBI, right? You said someone hired you to help me help me find them and kill them. You’re right I don’t remember it, but you said you were there and you remember it. So tell me what you know. Medication? What medication calm me down I don’t wanna get calmed down. I wanna get fired up and find them. Are you gonna help me or not? You’re not you don’t think I know what I’m talking about. I’m not hallucinating. I’m not having false memory if you’re not gonna help me then I’m gonna leave and take care of this myself. Goodbye.
