A Short Story by Jason J. Cross

 

  Welcome to my home, I’m sure you will find it has a nice warm place for you. A place for you to kick back an relax. A place where all your worries and problems go away during your visit. This is a home of fun and partying. What more can anyone ever ask for? I have it all and I am offering it to you.
  I offer you fun and a chance to get away from the real world. Now is that so bad? Don’t you deserve a break? I say you do, so come on it and I’ll show you a good time.
  Of course there is a little thing concerning money to come in – only the first time is free – but that shouldn’t be a problem to a resourceful individual like yourself. You can work to pay for it, but then means less time away from my home. Who wants to stay away that long? You can always just get the money from your friends and family. And if they won’t give it to you, you can always just take it. We are talking about my pleasure camp so who has time for morals. Don’t you want to come in? That is what I thought.
  Don’t listen to those who say you shouldn’t come here anymore. Friends and family – HA, what do they know. Do they know your pain and how to ease it better than I can? I think not. Can’t they see how much you’re enjoying yourself? They are jealous and too afraid to allow themselves this much pleasure. You don’t need them for I have enough people in my home that are willing to take you in and become your new family. We all know how to let loose and have fun.
  Warnings, warnings, warnings. “Oh this is bad for you,” they call out. “You are destroying yourself.” All I have to say to these people is, “Exercise, stay fit, eat right and stay away from the pleasures of me and guess what? You are going to die anyway.” I mean, what’s wrong with enjoying yourself while you are alive? These people cannot know the amazement I show you. You only live once, so enjoy it!
  If you feel you would like to invite other people to my place, go right ahead. Invite all the people you want. We are all family here and I am sure they want to have as much fun as you do. Why deny them? The more the merrier.
  All the fun we are going to have all the . . . what’s that? You look like there is something wrong. Your having chest pains? Problems breathing? You want me to do what? I don’t know why you are bothering me with this. I got better things to do then listen to you complain. I guess maybe you should have listened to your old friends, family and all the warnings. I’m in the fun business not the saving business. That’s the other guy.
  Too bad, cause he really wanted to save you. He died for you but you denied him to be with me and now it is too late. I’m honored but now the fun has to come to an end. For everything there is a price and it looks like you are about to start paying it.
  What’s that you say? You thought I cared about you? Man you are so gullible. You see, you’re expendable and easily replaced. You have made a horrible mistake. You loved me, but I could care less about you. Who knows, maybe next time I will be with someone you already know – your little sister perhaps – and they will love me as much as you did.
