Chapter 11: The Cafe

---

I miss your smile, Nny.

"What is there to smile about?"

So much -It's all in the perception, friend- and I am your friend, NOT like that depressing piece of styrofoam you've been listening to so much.

"You're going to tell me to enjoy the way things are going? To enjoy the loss of friends; Of comfort? I'm sorry, but I fail to see the fun in being lonely all the time. And, you know, you're just a piece of styrofoam, too."

Yes, but I'm your friend.

"Hmm..."

You've lost focus on yourself, lost too much strength to things you felt affection for. Pain too much attention to people you KNEW would disappoint. You know what they are!! Don't expect ANYTHING but nasty irritation from anyone you didn't create.

"Maybe. Well, yes, this mood has grown pretentiously heavy. Maybe I SHOULD just try to enjoy things."

YES!! Do exactly that! You're alive for NOW! Why waste your existence mimicking the Dead!? So enjoy!!

"Yes." Silence. "But you know, I'll only go back to my previous mood. Eventually, it always happens like that."

WELL, HURRY THEN!! PLAY WHILE YOU CAN STILL APPRECIATE IT!!

"Okay! I think I'll go out! That should be interesting. Yes. In fact..."

Atemu got his CD player, headphones, and backpack of joy.

'I'm smiling already.'


Atemu walked down the sidewalk in the city. He whistled, listening to Ode to Joy. As he walked by Cafe le Prick, a man sitting outside called him over.

"Hey, do you have a cigarette?"

Atemu, being mildly polite (compared to his standards), answered him. "No, I don't smoke." As he walked away, the maniac's highly sensitive asshole detecting gland was still functioning.

"Did you hear that?" asked the smoker to his friend. "Pussies don't smoke."

Atemu turned around, doubt in his mind. After a few moments, he came to a conclusion.

"I was just going to pass this place by, in favor of the danceclub up the street. I'll do the club tomorrow." Atemu said this to the smokers and walked into the cafe.

He looked around the restaurant, recognizing some people there while they ate, ordered, and gossiped. Atemu grabbed a chair and pulled it to the middle of the cafe. He stood on his poor excuse for a soap box.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" He took off his backpack and held it by the shoulder straps in his right hand. "I am presently unsure as to how to separate those of you who have fed my growing distaste for mankind, from those who, thus far, have not."

"However," Atemu continued, pulling a knife out of his backpack and making sure his head phones, "It is with far more certainly that I know such a problem will NOT be factored in to what I will share with ALL of you, here, tonight."

---

"YOU TRIED TO TRIP ME ONCE!!" Atemu cried, cutting off a man's head.

---

A woman now had about eight knives in her mouth that had cut through her skull and attached her to the wall behind her. With a severed hand, Atemu pointed to her.

"You thought I was rude to you so you told your boyfriend to beat me up!!"

---

"Your lazy eye disturbs me!!!" A man lost his eye as he was kicked in the head bloodily.

---

A man and a woman had a hook in their face as Atemu giddily yelled to them, "SMILES, EVERYBODY! SMILES!!"

---

"You bitch about equal treatment as a human being, but you and your friend laugh at the way I look!" A person had their right hand partially cut in half and a butcher knife in their head.

---

A knife was stabbed through the back of a man's head and exited through his mouth. "I HATE YOUR TIE!!"

---

"Quit trying to bring back bellbottoms!" Atemu screamed, two lower legs and feet in his hands. A woman screamed and kicked her leg stumps around.

---

"Blow your nose, you pig!!" The maniac screamed as he jammed a knife through a man's neck, blood spraying.

---

"You reacted to verbal abuse by degenerating into a submissive dork!!" A nerdy looking man had his tongue cut and was bleeding profusely.

Sadly, Beethoven generally has this effect.

---

In the men's restroom, a man in a stall, who had accused someone of putting shit in his pants, was out of paper. His date for tonight, Devi, was probably leaving the conjoined restaurant.

"Um... Could somebody give me some toilet paper!?!"

"You should've checked before you went!!!" A black box was thrown into his stall. It was a bomb.

Atemu ran out of the men's room, closing his eyes as the room exploded.

He panted once he was back in the cafe.

"Look, he's stopping!!" a man yelled.

"Maybe he's realizing the horrors he's just committed!!!" A woman with glasses screamed the obviously insane.

"No... No, the CD's skipping..." Atemu held a hand to his headphones, waiting for his music to work. The CD player even had shock protection. Oh, well... "Wait... Wait... Okay, there it goes."

A man's head hit the woman with glasses, knocking her to the floor.

"You think you're cook because you work at a cafe!!" Atemu yelled, hitting an employee with a coffee mug.

With a hammer, Atemu hit a person's eye socket, blood spraying as he said, "YOU HAVE COOTIES!! heh... no I just kid."

As Atemu stood on the remains of his victims, he spoke to the survivors. "And so, irritants, it is with this that I leave you. You are spared so that you can think of what it really is to live in a world that engenders a pain for which there is NO comfort. Here is your product! You have the rest of your lives to think of this." He walked backwards towards the exit.

And I suggest you think quickly for a long life is never a guarantee." After making sure he had all of his things that he wanted, Atemu ran out of the cafe, waiting for his fun and music to be climactic.

The survivors in the restaurant looked at the maniac's backpack that he had left behind. A detonator was inside of it.

Three seconds...

Two...

One...

BEEP

The whole cafe exploded. As Atemu bounded away from the restaurant, the music on his headphones got louder AND THE CHORUS SWELLED!!!

END
