We were sitting in the lobby waiting for our flight to appear on the giant screen overhead.
So I ask him, suppose you go to sleep and all of a sudden bang, your heart stops beating and you die. What would it be like?
What u mean?
Exactly what I'm saying. You die in your fucking sleep. So what...what are you supposed to experience....do you remember anything? No because your fucking dead and you can't recall ...
I don't follow you....
I mean that's a strange thought I had last night, I mean you leave this world without noticing. So you are cheated somehow. You could be convinced of being still alive and wake up as usual but you won't......
I mean....in this world. You wake up in another.....maybe....
Hey, that's too philosophical for me, You are causing me a headache...
Ok, but it could happen, even if you're fit and healthy, bang, you go and that's all, folks...there is something I can't quite put my finger on, but...
I'm going to order another martini....you put me in a bad mood you know, fuck....can't you just relax and enjoy the vista?
So, let's see...we have to...check the flights from...where? I don't remember...
Just saying, got some trouble sleeping lately, so I was wondering what would it be like to leave this shithole and finding myself on the other side.
Don't be silly, if you're dead you're simply dead, you can't be dead and alive at the same time. Besides, That reminds me of that guy on discovery last night who was talking about a cat in a box i think it was like a German mad scientist who made an experiment with his kitten and he was kinda nazi I think. Yea and then he went to this concentration camp and he repeated this junk with Jews this time and he succeeded in totaling like 1000 dead and 300 alives, and he became famous because he invented the...how did they call it...phantom mechanics....or something like that..
because he wanted to know about the outcome, ya know, I mean he had serious problems because....he fucking killed a lot of cats and Jews in the process, only because he wanted to prove that you cannot foresee, if you, say, you pump gas inside the box, if you'll find the occupants living or dead. ..weird stuff really...
Look at those chicks...uh...over there....no....at the bar.....I've got a hard-on already...mmm, they are so gorgeous these days,..s..suck me,..
Shut up you are an animal you know...
Lisa won't return, she told me. She got another job at the beach.
Yeah, I heard, but she is coming tonight, she got a day off.
Oh nice I love her voice, she calms and soothes my anxieties. I can't stop hearing her talking, even if it's just about her dog having haemorrhoids.
We got to be prepared, we are not supposed to fail this time. Dammit.
Just relAx I'm prepared...
Gotta be kidding.....
He looks at his watch. I have to go to the toilet. Wait here and don't loose sight of the gate. This sonofabitch should be arriving anytime soon.
He rises from the table and walks away.
The place is Zanzibar.
