Monologue Fiction
“Mom, Dad, little Melvin, I’m dropping out of school to sell drugs.”
Man I’m just not cut out for this, it’s too expensive, too big, too much work, and not enough friends. These people just don’t understand me. My genius is completely untapped like oil under soil. Just waiting for someone to come along and hit me and make them filthy rich for the rest of their life. But, I’m tired of waiting for a miracle too happen. College is taking too long, and getting me literally nowhere. I know I can do it, but fuck it, I really just don’t want to. You feel me? I have an idea. I’m gonna sell drugs. I know what you’re thinking. Selling drugs is a terrible idea. You’ll go to prison for the rest of your life. It’s not worth it at all. There’s a million other things that you could be doing than selling drugs. Really? Well name one, I’ll wait. Oh what’s that? Stay in school? Did you know that everyone that graduates college dies? Seriously, every person who has ever graduated college is going to die or is already dead. And then what? Exactly, you don’t know. Crazy, but I do know one thing. Drugs make people happy, even if it is a temporary high, they are living life. Think about it when we’re on drugs is really the only time we are living. In life, we just become subject to pattern. Let me take you on the boring pattern of about 90% of humans on a weekday. Wake up go to school/work have an awful time, come home do their homework and go do drugs. Now when I say drugs I don’t mean the stuff I’ll be selling. I mean like watch TV listen to music, watch YouTube videos, maybe spend some time with their wife or husband. All these things in my opinion are drugs. It temporarily takes your mind off of how shitty your life is. They’re all distractions from the real world. Your job is not making the world a better place. In school you’re not learning anything about yourself or the world. It is just mindless boredom to make money so you can live a comfortable life away in the suburbs that one has grown so accustomed to. That’s not living. It is slowly dying. As humans we have evolved or created whatever you want to believe in to move and adapt to different environments and change. But why do we just want to stay in one spot in our lives? I don’t know, but since people want to stay in one spot, I’ll sell those drugs so if they don’t physically take a trip to a different place. At least, they’re mind can take a trip temporarily. Anyways love you mom, dad and Melvin. Jeffery got the first batch of drugs for me to sell, so that’s what I’m doing now. Thanks for sending me to school in Miami, I love it down here, I’ll be living with Jeff from now on exploring the world and selling drugs, by the way I’m gay and Jeffrey is my life partner In crime just thought you might want to know. If we go down, we’ll go down together. True love.
