《Recovery》08/02/17 untitled

車子停在路邊,我們卸下所有行李。我的朋友微笑著說,我們已經到了。
公寓門前有一棵樹。雖然還是冬天,樹卻早已發芽。陽光透過很密集的樹枝,照在大門門框。我停靠在門邊,看著順房子延伸下去的街景。
“還不進去嗎?”
我將行李拉進大門。破舊的公寓和外表繁華的都市比起來,更有一種親切感。
“在這里應該很安全。”他說道。
“但愿。”
我們的房間在四樓。光線剛好透過窗戶,發芽樹枝的影子清晰可見。不久后,也會遮擋住陽光吧。
卓越市區邊界。
比起上層的空中通道和高樓,在發展的城市底還留有過去的痕跡。
這里還能找到一些21世紀初的老樓,雖然大部分已經破損。房間很干凈,406號。
都拾好后,他將折疊沙發展開在客廳。不像現在的樓房,這個客廳沒有任何不必要的裝飾。
“之后…”
“樓下還有一間空房,在街角那。那間也是我們的,還包括半個二樓。”
“我記得那以前是個酒吧。”
“現在都沒人來了。老板在上個月被一個歹徒擊斃。”
“在外面?”
“嗯。”
我們準備下樓。公寓里住人甚少。朋友說,他們基本上都離死不遠了,我們也一樣。
三個月后,我們已經將街道路口的空房裝修成一個新的酒吧。為了安全,我們在燈里裝了個電極閃光彈。
“它看起來還是很舊。”
“沒必要太新。”
“可你以前在以太市區的房子是相當華麗。”
“那不是我干的。”
他沉默許久,隨后將剩余的酒瓶擺在架子上。
“抱歉。”
“……”
破舊的木質家具攤在屋子周圍。我們放了一些陷阱。我們還分別在壁爐和樓梯后布置了密道。
一開始他還建議我在樓上,但是想了想還是這里比較安全。有時酒吧會進來一些人,醉酒后離去。朋友將剩下的杯子洗好擦亮,我則在一旁坐著,觀賞外面風景。
行人走過,默默無聞。
過了一陣,朋友買了個紅木底沙發,橫跨在室內。我每天都會趴在那,玩弄一些破電子設備。
當然,我不會告訴他我在做炸彈。

Grinning Enigma
Freddy is a very bad boy. Meets some people that know what he did. He tries to escape punishment, makes it [Redacted]. Freddy might be a mass-murdering troll, but he isn’t a bad person, right? Right? Disclaimer: This is not an instruction manual. If you want to be a horrible human being, go figure it out yourself. Autopsy: Writing this story gave me some degree of insight into how much I've managed to fuck up my own personality by suppressing basic needs. Now I hate myself even more. It started as a story where the MC was supposed to be a blend of the NZ-land shooter and other cancerous personalities. That way I wouldn't feel bad about torturing him. Instead I ended up witnessing all the worst aspects of my own personality, or lack thereof. I'm a horrid person, I can't even bring myself to do what's the only right thing at this point.
