"Yeah, well, I don't respect monsters. Deal with it. Now I'm here for something, so I'd appreciate it if you could shut up and listen."

"Should we help out?" the lad asked.

"No," retorted the demonic claw, "Why bother? Let the little wretch fight by himself. I want to see if he's worthy of tampering with my precious soul."

If anyone said that to me, I'd look at them and go "BEHOLD. I TEACH YOU THE SUPERMAN!"

Man is something to be surpassed. What have you done to surpass mankind?

I stand at the side of the street and get paid to scream "God is dead" at passers-by.

Seriously though. Currently nothing, still studying. I do have a career plan marked out, though.

Christ. Trying to talk anyone out of a suicide must be difficult.

It is. Trying to convince someone in that state of mind they matter to you is like trying to tear down a brick wall with a toothpick. The best I can ever hope for is that she'll get through it and feel better the next day. I do trust her, and this is far from the first time this has happened between us, but I'm still scared that I won't be there for her when she's really in trouble. The fact that she has underlying problems only makes it more difficult for her.

Still, I do love her very much and I promised her I'd always do my best for her. I'm sure that she knows and appreciates that, even if she won't admit it and tends to feel otherwise.

Therapy. Pretty much only solution if they're in too deep.

She's tried that a few times. She says it doesn't work for her. She doesn't like sympathy she doesn't think she deserves. She says she's thinking of going back and seeing if it helps any more this time around. It's not something a professional can work out for her, though. She needs to resolve the issues herself. She said herself she won't be able to feel properly good about herself unless she sorts it out, which she is having problems with.

Of course a god program would be created because everything must have an answer, yet there are many unresolved.

You're thinking. That's what I like to see.

I mean...it all sounds good, but that online chat reminds me of SWAT 4...*Shudder*

Never played it. I just went for a generic chatroom vibe, the same reason I used "italk" instead of "Google" or "MSN" for the email. =P

It was just over a week that we had our next encounter. Every day I would visit that same chatroom, hoping he would show up. He didn't, at least until the eight day following our first meeting.

   hi
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Hello.
MissTechno says:
   where were you?
AllTooHuman88 says:
   I sent you an e-mail. Did you not get it?
MissTechno says:
   did you?
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Yes. I gave you a link to a private chatroom. Just for the two of us.
MissTechno says:
   oh. sorry
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Don't worry about it. lol I'll see you there, okay?
MissTechno says:
   okay

AllTooHuman88 has left.

The thought of being sent an e-mail hadn't even crossed my mind. Biting my lip in answer to my simplicity, I got the link from the message and joined the private chatroom.

MissTechno has joined.

AllTooHuman88 says:
   Hello again.
MissTechno says:
   hi. why did you want me to come here?
AllTooHuman88 says:
   I thought it would be better if we could just talk by ourselves. I'm sure there are plenty of things you're wondering.
MissTechno says:
   I suppose there are
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Is there anything you would like to ask me?
MissTechno says:
   what's your name?
AllTooHuman88 says:
   My name?
MissTechno says:
   yeah. your real name
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Fair enough. No harm in answering. It's Friedrich.
MissTechno says:
   friedrich?
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Indeed. Since you asked me, may I ask what your name is?
MissTechno says:
   ave
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Eve?
MissTechno says:
   no ave
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Oh, I see. Interesting. As in, "Ave Maria"?
MissTechno:
   I guess
AllTooHuman88 says:
   lol Very cool. I've never heard of anyone with that name before.
MissTechno says:
   thanks
AllTooHuman88 says:
   I have one other question, by the way. The real reason I invited you here was because I wanted to ask you something.
MissTechno says:
   okay
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Do you want to meet up some time?

The question struck me hard. I suppose that, up to this point, I hadn't considered the people I had spoken with to be, well, people. They were just names on a screen. As far as I was concerned, they didn't have any semblance of history, hobbies, jobs, family, friends...they were just people I spoke to in chatrooms, and beyond that, their existence was of no concern to me. His sudden suggestion that we meet up forced me to realise that, yes, he was a real person, and I had been presented with the opportunity to meet him.

Hesitantly, I gave my answer.

MissTechno says:
   yes
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Cool. I'll e-mail you the time and location, okay?
MissTechno says:
   yeah sure
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Okay, I ought to get going now. I'll see you there, alright?
MissTechno:
   okay. see you
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Bye bye.

AllTooHuman88 has left.

As I sat there at my computer, I began to wonder what lay in store for me once I met him. I signed off for the night and went to bed, all the while wondering what he would be like.

"I am not interested," retorted the claw, "Now, I will ask you this politely first, lest we lead to unnecessary violence. If you have the ability, as you claim you do, to channel these souls or whatever it is you do, then I demand you release me from this infernal prison at once!"

The lad nodded sagely. He was actually thinking about fluffy kittens in a barrel, but he pretended he was paying attention. Random strands of information did reach his mind, whether he realised it or not.

"Sounds cool," he beamed.

"Hold it. Did you say you had the power to manipulate the souls of living beings?" mused the demon within the claw.

Oh, that's not the end. Far from it. Here's some more.

(click to show/hide)

I used to spend a lot of my time on my computer, back when I was normal. At first it was for strictly work-related affairs. I worked as a courier for a pretry large delivery company, so having a computer was useful for tasks like keeping an inventory of stock, storing a database of customers and clients, that kind of thing. I got used to it pretty quickly. Everybody in this day and age has a computer, you see, so they're designed to be convenient and comfortable for even the most technophobic neo-Luddite.

Gradually, though, I became more and more interested in using it casually. I would come home from work and just start browsing idly, letting my fingers and mind wander as I explored whatever there was to offer. Soon I became involved in online communication. I discovered there were virtual gathering places of commerce and communication - "chatrooms" - people like me could join. I was able to talk to people from anywhere in the world, at any time I chose. The concept utterly fascinated me.

What an age I lived in.

It was about two months after my return to normalcy that I first spoke to him. I was browsing a chatroom, one of my usual online haunts, which happened to be totally empty. As I sat there, wondering if anybody intended to join, a small message appeared at the bottom of the screen.

AllTooHuman88 has joined.

It was a name I was unfamiliar with. Still, I decided, it would be best to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume the best.

MissTechno says:
   hello
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Hello.
MissTechno says:
   are you new here?
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Pardon?
MissTechno says:
   I mean do you come to this chatroom often?
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Oh. No, this is my first time. A friend reccomended it to me.
MissTechno says:
   I see
AllTooHuman88 says:
   It's a bit quiet here, isn't it? lol
MissTechno says:
   I suppose it is. what does lol mean?
AllTooHuman88 says:
   It means "laugh out loud". It's a slang word.
MissTechno says:
   oh. sorry I'm new to online chat
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Don't worry, you'll get used to it.
MissTechno says:
   yeah
AllTooHuman88 says:
   You have an interesting screen name.
MissTechno says:
   thanks
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Can I ask what it means?
MissTechno says:
   I like techno music
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Oh, I see. Do you have an e-mail address?
MissTechno says:
   yeah
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Would you like to swap adresses? Mine is zarathustra @ italk.com.
MissTechno says:
   okay mine is misstechno @ italk.com
AllTooHuman88 says:
   Okay, I'll add you to my contacts. I ought to get going now, though. How about we talk again sometime?
MissTechno says:
   okay. see you later
AllTooHuman88 says:
   lol See you later.

AllTooHuman88 has left.

And that was my first meeting with him. It was by no means my last.

I signed off for the night and went to bed.

The lad beamed when he saw a newcomer, ever optimistic as always.

"Oh, hi there! Nice to meet you! My name's--"

"His name is not important," grumbled the claw sardonically, "More to the point is, who - or what - are you?"

Well, the god that people call God is dead, but there are still plenty of others, like Thor, Anubis, Poseidon, etc.

Get equipped with Nietzsche!

(Insert here that one PvP comic where Brent goes to a black board and sees the words "God is dead", erases them, and writes "Nietzsche is dead")

1900 was an ironic year alright.
