The End Of The World

"That's it, I'm leaving."

"Sorry?"

"I said I'm leaving. I'm done with this."

"What do you mean you're leaving?"

"I mean I'm leaving. I'm walking out that door and not coming back."

"That door goes to a closet."

"Oh. Then I'm walking out that door and not coming back."

"That's the bathroom."

"Why do you have so many doors?"

"Not my fault, the place came with them. Why are you leaving?"

"You saw what happened last night."

"Yes, I saw what happened last night. It's nothing to get all fussy over."

"What do you mean? It's the end of the damn world is what it is!"

"I think you're overreacting."

"How can you say that? Everything's going to change now!"

"Actually, last night was everything staying the same. It's pretty much exactly how it was yesterday."

"That's what I mean! There wasn't any hope yesterday, and now there's not going to be any hope for a long time."

"I disagree; I just can't believe in that."

"That's not funny."

"It's a little funny."

"Now we're just in store for more of the same, and I'm not going to just sit idly by and watch it happen."

"You talk about it like it's the end of the world. It's not."

"Yes, it is. I even said so all of thirty seconds ago."

"No, really, it's not. The world will continue, you'll still get up and go to work tomorrow... speaking of which, why didn't you go in today?"

"I had a stomach ache."

"And you called in sick to work for it?"

"It was caused by rage and terror."

"I see."

"And now, I'm walking out that door, and I'm not coming back!"

"That's a bedroom."

"God dammit, where's the door to get out of this place!?"

"It's downstairs."

"I guess that makes sense."

"More sense than you're making."

"I don't have to make sense; the world stopped making sense last night, why should I be any different?"

"You know, for a long time I thought you were the one of my friends who I had the most in common with. But I just don't know if this is something we'll be able to get past."

"You know damn well it's not fair, not in the slightest."

"It's just for four-"

"I know how long it's going to be, and that doesn't change anything! The simple fact is, you got what you wanted, and I didn't get what I wanted, and that's just how it is."

"But it doesn't have to be some tragic event like you're making it out to be."

"Then answer me this: what am I supposed to do with my nights now? Hm?"

"...Is that a trick question?"

"No it's not a - ew, gross. No it's not a trick question, I'm being serious! What am I supposed to do with my nights now?"

"Play PUBG?"

"You look me in the eye and tell me that's the same thing."

"...Black Ops 3?"

"Now you're just mocking me."

"Look, seriously, it's not that big a deal. They lost your preorder, so just give them a few days to sort it out and you'll be playing Black Ops 4 in no time."

"They didn't lose your preorder."

"That's because they like me. And I slipped them a twenty."

"You know what? I fucking hate you."
