I want to smell dark matter
Veronica sat alone in her room, stroking her stumps. And remembering. Finally, she'd had enough. She wheeled herself to her door...just as it opened. Freddy Nose stepped in, white powder all over his face.
"Veronica you've got to hide me, I've been snorting cocaine and the nurses know!"
"That's flour," she said, calmly.
"It's the good shit, man, Columbian and shit and all that!" he said, trying to hide under her bed. "Hey, why do you have a pair of scissors under hear and lots of blood stained tissues? Oh...never mind."
"Freddy, I want to go out today," she said.
"Yeah, well good luck! Last time you went out you tried to kill yourself!"
"I DIDN'T," she reacted angrily. "There was something wrong with my chair, that was all..."
"You looked pretty serene rolling down that hill towards the road! Lucky that Arab guy caught you, I told you they were good for something!"
"He was hindu."
"What's the fucking difference, they all eat horse meat." He was trying to rip up her carper. "Do you think there's a secret underground bunker beneath us?"
"No," she said. "I want you to take me out."
"What, like a date?"
"No."
"Good! You'd want me to buy the meal! Why is it that girls want equality RIGHT UP UNTIL THE CHEQUE ARRIVES?"
"Freddy, shut up and see if anyone's looking, then wheel me out the back door."
"Yes ma'am."
They headed down the street.
"So where are we going?"
"I don't know."
"Okay."
A spotty teenager stopp and stared at Veronica as they passed.
"What, have you never seen a girl with no legs before?"
He looked at Freddy Nose, puzzled.
"What, have you never seen FREDDY NOSE before? GET OUT OF IT!" The boy ran away. "Weirdo!"
"I think we're nearly there," said Veronica.
"Oh, that was disappointingly quick," said Freddy. "So, this park ten minutes away from the house is where we were going?"
"I suppose so," said Veronica, watching children playing. Freddy squeezed her tits.
"MEEP MEEP!"
"Stop that."
"Must be tough for you, watching people with legs having fun. Since, you know, you have no legs and all that."
"He's getting out today. I think. Maybe. I worked it out once. The time he was likely to serve. Came to today. Don't know though, he could have got out earlier, or he might still be inside. Or he might have died. That would be nice."
"Who, your abusive father?"
"I didn't have an abusive father...Freddy?" Freddy was running after some children, screaming something about bananas.
"Sorry, I had to put some brats in line! So, you were telling me about when your dad used to rape you and you couldn't get away because you have no legs..."
"FREDDY, I'M BEING FUCKING SERIOUS, OKAY?"
"Oh."
"It was a drunk driver, okay? That's how I lost my legs, that's how my sister lost her life, that's why I'm a drooling lunatic whose best friend squeezes her tits every five minutes, THAT'S WHY, OKAY, NOW PUSH ME IN FRONT OF A CAR OR SOMETHING, JUST END THIS SORRY EXCUSE FOR A FUCKING LIFE."
"Oh. Meep meep?" She started crying. Some children came over.
"Hey Mister, why is the freak crying?" asked a small one. Freddy punched him in the nose. He started crying too. "I'M TELL MY MUM!"
"OH SHIT!" said Freddy, grabbing Veronica's chair and running with her in front of him, back to the house. "Sorry for spoiling your day," he said to her, as they got closer.
"My days are always spoiled, nothing you can do can make them worse."
"That's something of a compliment!" One of the nurses was waiting at the door. "Did you find my cocaine?" asked Freddy, sheepishly.
"Veronica you've got to hide me, I've been snorting cocaine and the nurses know!"
"That's flour," she said, calmly.
"It's the good shit, man, Columbian and shit and all that!" he said, trying to hide under her bed. "Hey, why do you have a pair of scissors under hear and lots of blood stained tissues? Oh...never mind."
