I like this very much, especially the unknown decision at the end. I was struck by the dialog: "It might make me feel less like - me."/“Is that so bad?” Sometimes in these situations, feeling less like oneself may be a victory. It also raises a lot of philosophical questions. Good job!

Thanks. Since the topic lent itself to an injection (and I mentally edited out before finishing this a bit about a little pain now to stop a greater pain and facing the fear the needle represents -- maybe if I rewrote I'd incorporate it, but this die is cast), it is a little different than the very real decision I and so many have had to make about the myriad choices in pill form. Will this work with my brain-meats? Will I feel like I'm wading in pudding? Is that sensation better than going unmedicated?

Those are awful choices to have to make, and whatever you decided, I hope it worked well for you.

[beldarzfixon]

So far, so good, I guess =)

Thanks!

Haha-- Schroedinger's syringe. :D

Now, the question is whether the "shot" is something like antidepressants or whether it's Idol itself.

In which case, thinking about killing yourself only once a day sounds about right.

The question of whether the "drug" is the addiction (like Idol) did cross my mind while I was writing this.

It reminded me of 'Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind' and that's a good thing. You did a great job with just the dialogues. Nice!

Thank you!

There is so much packed into a little dialogue. Great job.
