"I can't see! Take that light from my eyes!"
The room was thrown into darkness as Philip gasped in surprise.
A dim light appeared a few feet from him, by a chair in which one of his abuctors sat. The man slowly got to his feet and sauntered over to where Philip sat chained to a straight back chair.
"Come on Phil ole boy..(gimmie some truth). Just tell me what I need to hear and you'll be free to go."
Philip strained against his chains. "I..don't know anything!! Please, I'm just a laboratory assistant. They don't tell me anything! I'm just there to help find a cure for.."
"Ah!! A (working class hero)! Well (Surprise surprise! Sweet Bird of Paradox). YOU trying to be Mr. Find-A-Cure..after everything you did. Trying to erase some sins, are we Philip?"
Terror filled his heart. They knew about his past. "Please, I was (starting over)..trying to do good instead of .."
"Instead of all the bad you're so good at."
His abductor spun around and shouted at a non-existant audience. "Ladies and gentlemen let's hear it for (instant karma)!.
Then he turned and lunged at Philip grabbing him by the neck.
&qjohn lennon song titlesuot;This is starting to (grow old with me), Phil! You say you're a good boy now..trying to help the needy? (Whatever gets you through the night)..However."
He pulled his face right up to Philip's "You won't get through this night unless you start opening up to me.." A switchblade appeared in the abuctor's other hand. "Maybe I should get things started?"
The blazing light suddenly appeared once more over Philip, shining down on his terror and knowledge of what was to come.
Someone once told me the clever little tale of a Working Class Hero. Someone once asked him "Gimme Some Truth, man, what keeps you going? How do i survive in this world?" He simply said 'Whatever Gets You Through the Night". The Working Class Hero had a working class wife, and they were on the mends. He Said to her... "I want you to Grow Old With me... what do you think about Starting Over"? His wife was kosher with the idea, and spent the rest of the day smiling, and helping out people. Sometimes though, the Instant Karma comes back to get you. She went home, checked her messages, and Surprise, Surprise (that sweet bird of paradox had left her a message) She had gotten a promotion.
(sorry if it sucks.)
