Chapter 2
Talking to your girlfriend on how you can't die through Skype would be really awkward if you were normal. I sure wasn't.
"Yeah, Tammy," I said, "I took those pills before. And yes, the blade through my wrist didn't work."
Tammy was a brunette girl, with streaks of blonde through the brown. Her eyes were also brown, so that matched with her hair. Her lips weren't too red, but at least they were kissable.
"Well..." She said, "Have you tried jumping off a building?"
"Yeah, lot's of times. That was usually what I... The other me, Mysterion, did."
"Well... It's cool to be immortal. Why do you wanna die, anyway? You're still fifteen. Oh, and did you hear about Clyde and Kevin last Monday? Bebe said that Clyde being gay was unacceptable and even quoted the Bible on Leviticus 18:22." She snickered.
"Hmm... Bebe wants Clyde only for shoes, so he should be gay." I said, "But that's not my point. Living for fifteen years without dying is painful. You get all these sores and wounds. They hurt, and don't heal. After dying so many times, I could still feel the mice crawling inside my guts or the wound around my neck."
"Hey, hey..." Tammy said, her eyes softening, "It's A-okay. At least it's kinda' cool that my boyfriend was like... The next Jesus Christ." She laughed, "I know what'll cheer you up."
"What?"
"Guess." She commanded.
"Hmmm... Beef bacon?"
"Sure." She said, "Tonight, you as Mysterion, date at my house, beef bacon, gluten free of course so your d*ck won't fly off, and... Maybe a little mouth action? Hmmm...?" She smirked.
"That would be..." I smiled, "Better than dying. You know what they say, you only live once."
"Yeah." Her eyes fell down halfway, lovestruck, "That would be nice. Oh, uhhh... I gotta go. Mom's here. Bye, hon!"
"Bye, b*tch." I laughed.
"Stop calling me that!" She laughed and rolled her eyes, "See you soon."
I ended the call, and looked out the window. Time to go Mysterion.
