another dream. like a story.

two young lovers
lived in a small town.
a small town filled with the most ugly, dishonest and disgusting people.

the girl had a darkness in her eyes
as though she had seen enough of this ugliness, dishonesty and disgust
all her life.

the boy mostly stayed in his evil grandmother's basement playing video games
in order to escape from the ugliness of the town.
he also had a mental disorder
that at times made him see a different reality than the others.

the girl worked at a gas station, by the sea.
the gas flowed both to the cars that drove on the road above
and to the boats in the water.

she often got abused by her employer.
but she was quite used to it by now.
she accepted it, she needed the money.
and the darkness in her eyes made it useless to fight back.
the power to do so had disappeared at the same time as the dark entered her.

but this day, when she was at work, being abused as usual,
the boy came. he had decided to come visit her.
and when he saw her being abused
his mental disorder was turned on in full effect.
instead of the big, sweaty body of the man known as the girl's employer he now saw
one of those turtles you're supposed to destroy in mario.
so he took a metal pipe
and started hitting.

the girl watched with her dark eyes.

when the turtle was destroyed they just stood there quietly. he said "hi".
she said "hi".
then they walked down to the docks, stole a boat, and drove off.

and after an unknown amount of time had passed
the boy and girl arrived at a large, dirty industrial town.
the air was so thick with smoke that you couldn't see far.

however, this place was much better than the small town they had left
so the boy and girl stepped out on the pavement
and the boat exploded.
