I want to smell dark matter
Hogg and Gogg lived on the moon where it was their responsibility to ensure that the souls of Earth's dead reached the Soul Vault at the core of the moon.
"There's goes another one," said Hogg, watched the Earth below with his telescope. "97 year old woman just died painlessly with her whole family at her bedside."
"Isn't that nice," said Gogg, also watching Earth by telescope. "An 18 year old boy just slit his wrists! Haha."
"It's not funny," said Hogg, who despite having worked on the moon for 800 years still took no pleasure when humans died young. "If only we could have told him that life had so much more to offer.
"Not our place to," said Gogg, bluntly.
"Yes I KNOW it's not our place to," snapped Hogg. "I'm not an idiot. It's just...annoying."
"I got used to it 699 years ago," said Gogg. "I don't know why you're taking so long. Anyway, I see your old woman floating up."
"And I see your boy," said Hogg. "Want a race?"
"Not fair," said Gogg. "The old woman will get here first. They're always so amazed at how young they feel when they die. Besides my boy will still be depressed. Fucking emos, not even suicide can cheer them up!"
The two souls advanced quickly to the moon and sure enough the old woman arrived first. Her soul smiled at Hogg and Gogg as she entered the crater before them and began her final journey. Hogg smiled back, Gogg rolled his eyes.
"Can't you just smile for once?" said Hogg.
The boy arrived soon afterwards, looking miserable. Hogg gave him a reassuring smile. Gogg pointed and laughed.
"LOSER!" said Gogg. Hogg smacked him over the back of the head.
"Idito," he said, as the boy disappeared into the crater.
