Chapter 18
By weirdDAR
Monk stands stunned for a moment.
Monk:
Death?
Trinity:
Correct.
The lights become dim. Monk is in a cave, where he stands over a cliff.
Monk:
You…want me to jump off?
Trinity; who is no where to be seen:
In the beginning, Mr. Monk, people had nothing. Their bodies ached. Their hearts held nothing but hatred. They fought endlessly, but death never came.--
Monk:
What is the point of this?
Trinity's voice:
The point, Mr. Monk…fear overwhelms.
Monk:
But you're a demon. What do you care?
Trinity's voice:
In all my years, Mr. Monk, there hasn't been a single person like you…you're truly something special…
Monk; bitter:
And?
Trinity's voice:
And I'd hate to see you go to waste.
Monk:
I'm not jumping off this cliff.
Trinity:
Would you prefer a different cliff?
Monk; stale:
Haha.
Trinity:
Look, Adrian… Just do it.
Her voice shifts deeper.
OR I'LL MAKE YOU JUMP.
Monk quickly becomes startled.
Trinity's evil voice:
I try to be nice every now and then…but every now and then, someone tries to act as if I'm actually a nice person. Well I'm not, Mr. Monk…now you will confront death or I'll confront it for you.
Monk, still scared, ends up standing his ground.
Monk:
I won't do it, Trinity…I won't die. Not for you, not for anyone.
The voice quickly goes away, and now Trudy's voice sits behind him.
Trudy:
Not even for me?
Monk quickly turns around to see Trudy standing there in the dress he last saw her wear.
Monk:
Trudy?
Trudy:
Yes…it's me.
Monk moves towards Trudy, but instead of her moving towards him, she decays into a burning body.
Trudy; in misery:
Mr. Monk….just jump.
Monk:
You're not Trudy.
Trudy's burning body shifts into the image of Trinity.
Trinity:
Jump….NOW.
Monk:
Not until I get to talk to the real Trudy. And you know I'll know if it's Trudy. If there's one thing I've learned so far it's you cannot stop me from telling the difference between you and Trudy.
Trinity:
Oh, I can do whatever I want.
Monk; with great courage:
Oh no you can't! You can't do everything you want and that bothers you.
Trinity; not acting effected:
My, Mr. Monk, you sure have changed quite a bit.
Monk:
Oh, I know I've changed. I've changed because of you, that much is true. But what really eats you up inside is you know you cannot talk me into doing anything. Anything you ask me to do from here on in, you must force me to do. And believe me….that won't be easy.
Trinity laughs to herself. Gently at first, and then she loses control of her laughter. Quickly she stops.
Trinity:
Sorry Adrian Monk.
She lifts her arm up, pointing towards Monk. A powerful force comes from her and pushes Monk off the cliff. Monk screams as he makes the fall to his death.
