“You did say that with disgust,
and that’s what I mean. Getting down to
the dirty stuff. The stuff you don’t
want to hear or talk about, and that’s
when you’ll figure it all out.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know, brutal hones-
ty ain’t pretty, and all that other
blah, blah, blah, bullshit. You’ve been
talking to Dr. Zinger again, haven’t
you? That’s all she talks about too.
That and getting butt fucked everywhere
I go.”
“You laugh and make jokes, but
you’ll see that we’re right,” she said
and sat in my lap.
“So?”
“So, what?”
“Are you going to be honest with
her... about everything?”
“About Scratches? Oh yeah, I defi-
nitely have to be honest about her.”
“Scratches definitely, but no, I
mean about the talking cat. AmyStrange,
right? Are you gonna tell her about
that?”
“I guess I have to,” I said and
started fiddling with one of the set-
tings. “I think in Amy’s case, Cat
should definitely be capitalized.”
“I agree,” Beth said and smiled.
“If she’s real.”
“I’m not even sure myself. Except
for the selfie, the ten-thousand dol-
lars, and the fact that I’ve actually
seen her talk, I’ve got nothing. All I
can say is we’ll definitely know for
sure Friday.”
“I can’t wait. This is gonna be
one freaky Halloween,” she said and
started scrolling to the top of the
page.
“Why does the date stamp say Octo-
ber 15th? That was two weeks ago. Why
don’t you just start today? Oh Christ!
That’s when you tried to save those...”
“Beth, Beth, Beth!” I literally
screamed. “Don’t give it away! Please!”
“Ok, ok, ok!” she literally
screamed back at me.
“Don’t go all crazy on me, buddy.
Save that shit for your shrink,” she
said a little quieter.
She pulled out her gun, and it
looks like she’s checking to see if
it’s loaded, but I’m not really sure.
I’m not a big fan, but she definitely
is. She carries that thing everywhere,
even to bed.
