Hello Operator

Hello Operator.
Planning anything special?
Going home for breakfast?
Of course not, not you, never.
But don't you get hungry?
Oh yes, the pills.
I do agree that the lights are nice.
It does seem to cover all the shadows.
Are you afraid of shadows?
Are you afraid of what comes from the shadows?
Not you, no, never, of course.
What about the light, aren't you afraid of that?
What's to be afraid of? Everything!
How can you be afraid of nothing, there must be something.
How about heights?
Open spaces?
Dirty laundry?
Ha, I know, what about the unknown?
Oh, a regular enterprise commander, aren't you?
You know, I seem to be asking all the questions.
Well I can stop talking if you want.
Thanks, but I still think there's nothing more to say.
Goodnight Operator.
You too.
Oh, and hey? I really like the way you smile.
It complements your eyes.
No problem, well, goodnight.
...
Damn, do I taste blood?

Even with all of us sitting in the car, telling him not to do it, he did it anyway.

Sometimes I want to ask him why he did it, but mostly I just want to tell him we all forgive him.
