I admit that I was trying something new and stupid last night. I decided to chat up a beautiful woman who was sitting at the bar with a pickup line. I had never done it before and decided that it might be fun to try it on a whim. Who knows and you only live once, you know?

I approached her so that she would see and turn towards me. She turned her head to look at me.

“Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” I asked her and smiled at her.

“Yes,” she said. “The first time. But I came clawing my way back up.”

It was then that I noticed that she had turned to look at me by turning her head 180 degrees.

I walked away at that moment and I can’t tell if its the rejection or the assumption to bother her that has caused these terrible nightmares. The ones where I see that I won’t just live once, but forever in a blasted hellscape.

I think I’ll stick to the dating apps from now on.
