Conversations with Death

Death: Oh hello. I didn't see you just now.
me: So what's new? Nobody sees me..ever!
Death: Woah, that's a lot of anger. Why so mad?
me: I don't know. I just have a lot of frustration waiting to explode and they always end up coming out at the most inappropriate times.
Death: So what do you want me to do about it?
me: Nothing. I don't want you or anyone to do anything. I just want all these anger to go away. I want to know where they came from and how I can make them all go away! Sometimes I wish I was dead so that I wouldn't have to feel this way.
Death: Dead huh? I could help you with that, but are you sure that's what you really want?
me (thinking): No, not really. Maybe death isn't the right thing to want. What I truly want is to un-exist. I want to have never been born or created or whatever!
Death: What makes you think non-existence would be better than the state you are in now?
me: What state am I in now?
Death: Hmmm....the state which you don't want to be in.
me: yeah that sounds about right.
Death: thank you.
me: Hey how about a game of checkers?
Death: I'm not too good at that.
me: Well, how about snakes and ladders or monopoly?
Death: Let's do SNL, monopoly will just go on for all eternity.
me: (laughs) SNL it is!
Death: (picks up the dice and gets ready to roll)
me: hey! Maybe I should roll for you and you for me. Let's see how that works out eh?
Death: interesting, I've never done that before. Ok...give it your best shot!
me: (rolls dice) look at that! Snake eyes!
Death: (rolls eyes) You're so dramatic!
me: yeah so are you complaining?
Death: me? (innocent look) NEVER!
me: Good! Now less talking and more rolling!
Death: (rolls dice) SEVEN.
