Persona

Ever wonder what it would be like to have a secret life. One where you are no longer expected to live up to the expectations of others? Have you ever sought a form of escape?

Given in to an addiction, tried a new approach to life.

Have you ever sought an ‘Out’?

Then boy do we have a lot to talk about.

Now before we get into who you are and why you are here … let’s talk about me for a bit.

Just the basics to start off with, like the ‘who’, the ‘where’, the ‘whys’ and the ‘how’, so I don’t seem to narcissistic right off the bat.

The ‘Who’ would be me, should be ‘Quentin Marcus’, but at this point in time I am simply ‘space’.

The ‘Where’ is in the middle of a bus on my way to a ‘Where’ that I am not currently aware-of.

The ‘Why’, long story short, is matter of misplaced trust.

The ‘How’ is something I too would like to know if the goddamn conductor would be kind enough to enlighten me. Having been heavily dosed with something to keep me just shy off a comatose state did not help in being persuasive.

Heck! He’s been stealing sly glances my way since I woke up, strapped to my chair by some very questionable restraints. Questionable because I have no clue how or why I was being restrained in the first place.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

So I struck up a conversation with you to keep me in a sane mind frame. My only companions in an otherwise lonely trip.

Now it’s your turn.

…

…

…

Shy huh? First time talking to a guy in restraints? Hey I understand. It’s my first time talking to someone in restraints too. Ha ha.

No? Not a good time for levity? Well you are probably right. Must be the drugs then because my biggest concern at the moment is that there is something really wrong about a bus with only one passenger. Right?

Lets play a game to pass the time then. How about … ‘Guess where the mysterious bus is taking the questionably tied up passenger’.

Now the smart ones picked up on the fact that I know why I am here but not the how.

Five points to you, and yes, you should keep score (grab a pen and paper, I can wait).

Seeing as you seem more interested in my situation at the moment than your own, I think I can keep up my part of our ‘back and forth’. Might have to seeing as this might end up being a long drive.
