SleepingBeast:Why would you even consider this?

DeadGirlWalking:Long story short: Everyone in my family dies young. Cancer and heart attacks mostly. Somehow, I hit the genetic lottery, and got the genome markers for both.

DeadGirlWalking:I am almost thirty years old. My body is a literal ticking time-bomb. And my life is hell.

DeadGirlWalking:Let me rephrase that. Mynon-life is hell: No drinking. No drugs. No fatty foods. No elevated heart-rate (so, no sex, or any other form of extra-curricular fun. I can’t even watch a scary movie). Apparently, if I do absolutely nothing, I will probably get to do it for a pretty long time. Except, maybe not. Maybe I’m sitting calmly in the café reading a veryunexciting book when I twitch once and fall face-first into my frappucino.

DeadGirlWalking:I amdoneliving in fear of what is inevitable. I need to feel alive again.

SleepingBeast:You think me murdering you is going to make you feel alive?

DeadGirlWalking:No, I think knowing that my day is coming soon will make life a lot more interesting until it does. And then when it finally does, I won’t have to think about it anymore at all.

SleepingBeast:That’s dark.

DeadGirlWalking:You’re homicide-for-hire and you’re callingmedark?

SleepingBeast:Touche.

SleepingBeast:Though, for the record, I’m not for hire. You won’t pay me a cent. And I’m not homicidal. I classify my services asassisted suicide adjacent.

DeadGirlWalking:Did you hear that? It was my snort of skeptical derision. You get off on killing people. Pretty sure that makes you homicidal. Or is there another name for it if it’s a kink?

DeadGirlWalking:Found it. Apparently you’re a Erotophonophiliac (Erotophonophilian?) God, what a mouthful.

DeadGirlWalking:THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID.

SleepingBeast:Nope. I get off on the hunt.

DeadGirlWalking:Well then, let’s be clear: I’m no sub. I just want to run for my life, and lose.

SleepingBeast:We’re clear. I am a Dom. But I’m happy to provide additional services until it’s my turn to die.

DeadGirlWalking:Such a giver. So, will you also be finding some dude on the dark web to knock you off when that time comes?

SleepingBeast:I expect to take my last breath gasping, laying in a pool of my own blood because the FBI finally caught up with me.

DeadGirlWalking:Suicide by cop?

SleepingBeast:More like government sanctioned murder.

DeadGirlWalking:Geez, and you call me dark.

SleepingBeast:No… I call youprey.

DeadGirlWalking:Holy shit. I just got goosebumps. So I guess that means we’re doing this?

DeadGirlWalking:Beast?

SleepingBeast:Go back to your non-life, D. Sweet dreams.

DeadGirlWalking:Wait, are you coming for me or not? Because if you aren’t, I need to find another whacko.
