this is a kind of story thing i created

initially, i was just writing it as a joke because i was bored. now i'm lowkey invested in writng it.
sorry if theres any major inconsistencies or anything, it's not a very serious project.
i do this just to give myself something to do.
anyways, here's some context for the story!
it takes place in 2014 in the U.S., and all the characters are agender and aracial
disclaimer: i spell pomegranate wrong on purpose

my accomplice, angrybob

they seems chill

no he's actually quite malevolent
i mean his name is angrybob of course they're a bit evil

oh no why are they evil

nobody knows. they've been filled with hate and malice for as long as i can remember

goodness gracious

*appreciative angrybob noises*

i knew you were chill

*angrybob noises*

*dies*

i guess i need to build a bomb

*green guy builds a bomb*

this should work

*green guy takes the bomb to an orphanage*

it's time

hey dude whats up are you also bombing this orphanage???

oh wow i didn't expect to see YOU here
also, sorry about the cruel and unusual punishment thing.

it's all good, man!
so why are you bombing this orphanage?

because angrybob died

i'm bombing it because i stubbed my toe and now i'm infuriated

valid honestly

also what the flip is angrybob

honestly i don't know, but he's dead

ok shut up it's time to begin the bombing

alright let's do this

*BIGGEST FUCKING EXPLOSION OF ALL TIME*

*screams of innocent babies*

i think we did it right

you THINK??? that was incredibly successful!
they're all DEAD

ah yes, what was i thinking??
of course it was a success! a bunch of children are dead!

the smell of burning baby flesh sure smells yummy

dude that's kinda weird

we literally just blew up an orphanage are you sure we can be talking about what is and isn't weird?

fair enough i guess
do you wanna eat the babies

of course!!

there's something i need to confess.
i've eaten babies before...

me too...
twinsies!

it's nice to have found a like-minded person

sorry for arresting you way back when

(way back when was literally four days ago)

let's dig in, shall we?

YAY!!!!

*they eat the babies*

that was so yummy

for real that was so good
best meal i've had in years

ok we need to get the hell out of here before we get caught

meanwhile....

dude what is going on why did an orphanage blow up
oh my god it was the blue guy wasn't it

what did you say

i think the orphanage bombing had something to do with the blue guy who escaped like a week ago

nonsense, you're just angry about your sentence
now shut up

i hate everything

meanwhile AGAIN
also the white guy was a guard in that scene

man the underneath of this bridge sure is nice!

for real! i just had a rat eat off my hair, therefore giving me a haircut!

i want a rat haircut

*rat noises*

woah sick

we look so cool dude

how much longer do you think we'll have to wait here

honestly idk

let's leave now then the ants have made my left leg their new home and i don't think i want them festering any more

that's fucking disgusting

they evacuate from underneath the bridge and are now heading for L.A.

dude i've been holding out my thumb for like 30 minutes how long until we get to hitch-hike

hey wait i think i see somebody!

you guys need a ride?

YES VERY

ok get in losers

woah this is a nice car

yea it's a lambo

so i take it you're like filthy rich?

perchance i am

like how much d'ya make a year?

enough to buy a new house every year

holy fuck you're like RICH rich

yeah i mugged an old man in 2007 and he was like crazy rich
said his name was like bill gates or something idk

YOU MUGGED BILL GATES?!?!?

what, is he famous or something?

dude he fucking made windows, the operating system

oh damn
i didn't know that lol

HOW did you get away with that

got lucky i guess

mugging THE bill gates is actually crazy

ok guys this is my other car get in

is that a pacermailmobile

how do you know what that is there's only ever been one

what the tortilla

dude this is sick
i never thought i would see one in real life

dude only 2 people on the planet were aware of it's existence
why do YOU know about it??

i don't know i had like recurring dreams about a pacermailmobile

i think you're just weird

dude it's so comfortable in here
also are you aware that you're our getaway driver?
we bombed an orphanage and ate the cooked babies

no i didn't know that
but it's all cool i support what you did

aw hell yeah i knew you were chill

yeah i'm pretty chill
i eat babies too

dude aren't they SO tasty

oh my god LITERALLY
it's a shame it's not legal

we should all eat babies together sometime

YES OH MY DAYS YES

abso-fricking-lutely
anyways where are you guys tryna go?

uhh.... L.A.!!!!

no way me too
so let's get going, maybe i'll get to know the two of you on this journey

sick, dude! this is gonna be so rad

this is so tubular

ok shut up you sound like a bunch of surfer bros

what yo? we ain't doing nothin'?

yeah brah, we're just chillin', yo!

yeah bro, if you're not rad just say that

*they all start violently laughing*

i think we're gonna get along pretty well

*2 butt-fucking hours later*

this is so radical
dude what... i'm saying your guys' stupid words!!

that happens after a while

yeah dude that's just how it goes

dear god, how far are we from L.A.?
blue guy you check, you've got the map

uh... 8 hours

you've GOT to be shitting me

i'm not. we deadass have 8 hours to go

FUCKING SHOOT ME!!!!!!!

*6 hours later*

guys? y'all awake??
ah, they've fallen asleep
well, atleast i've only got 2 more hours to go!

what..??

oh, you're awake

no you woke me up, bastard!

oh shit my bad

don't wake up the other guy. he'll KILL YOU

...
noted

why did you wake me up.

oh shit

dude COME ON

i have another bomb by the way.

please don't

hey green dude, he didn't know!

I DON'T CARE!

now i won't be able to sleep at all tonight!
this is UNACCEPTABLE.

wait what???

if they're woken up abruptly they won't be able to sleep for the rest of the night.

oh fuck i'm so sorry i had no idea

whatever. just don't do it again.

yeah yeah, won't happen again

it better not.

just please don't blow up my pacermailmobile!!! it's my ultimate prized possesion

hey so,
if i hypothetically wanted to acquire a pacermailmobile, how would i do it?

well, you'd have to speak to the super secret guy who makes them.
he's located in some remote balkan villiage, and nobody's heard from him since 2013.
he's the only guy who'll do it because it's kinda risky.

and what's his name?

uh.. shit gimme a second i can't remember
...
i think it was something like zerlon verblorden III

where'd you first find him?

somewhere just south of San Diego,
i remember that night so vividly.
it was just a week after i'd mugged bill gates, and i was trying to keep a low profile
it was late at night, and i'd just grabbed some crappy takeout, and there he was, there on the street
i recognized him instantly, i'd seen his face in the papers once or twice.
he was a bit of a name in town.
i carefully approached him, and was all like "are you zerlon verblorden?"
and at first he thought i was an undercover cop, but we ended up really hitting it off and making business.
and i remember about four days later i'm in his apartment,
and we're talking about potential ideas for some new gadgets.
his face lit up when i proposed the idea of something like a pacermailmobile.
an unheard of, and really friggin' cool idea.
we got to work on it almost immediately.
we co-created the blueprint for the thing, and he did all the construction.
it took us months to get this completed, but we did it.
it's the best thing this measly world's ever seen.

alright thanks. once this is all over, i'm gonna go find this guy.

SHIT, NO!
you can't do that! i swore i wouldn't tell a soul!
oh fuck, he's gonna kill me

you walked right into it

ya really did, i mean it was SO obvious i was trying to get info

i'm not the smartest individual

well you're at least a little smart, you helped create this beauty!

oh shut up, zerlon did most of it

just take the damned compliment, dude

yea, what they said

blue one, how much longer 'til we reach L.A.?
i hope it's soon, i can barely see because it's so darned dark out

about..
another hour.

i guess that's soon enough,
what do you guys plan to do once you reach L.A.?

good question.
we've got no clue

we mostly decided to head for L.A. because we had no idea what to do
we couldn't've stayed in town, the cops would've caught us in a flash

i see.
'ya wanna know why i'm headed for L.A.?

yeah, i don't see why not

i'm also on the run, sort of
i beat an old guy to death a week ago and the cops are getting more clues on who might've done it
so by leaving, i'm trying to erase my name as a suspect

so we're all just batshit insane criminals in here?

it sure seems like it

i'd say we sure are!
it's also probably important for y'all to know, i have schizoaffective disorder

the fuck's that?

mild schizophrenia, basically

are you medicated? i don't wanna deal with you tweaking out

yeah of course i'm medicated!
i've got antipsychotics for WEEKS

oh thank god

yeah, nothing for you to worry about

hey! fun fact about me,
i have bipolar disorder!

so you're mentally ill too?

yep!

we're just getting absolutely LIT in here

we're all in for a hell of a ride

*in L.A.*

AW YEAH!
finally, we're in L.A.!

took us what felt like forever

you shut up, you slept longer than anybody else in that pacermailmobile

remember, don't tell anybody.
and PLEASE don't contact zerlon

i'm gonna contact him whether you like it or not.
but i won't tell anybody else, i have no reason to

better than nothing, i suppose

so, what do you suppose we do, blue guy?

hmm... i don't know.
HEY WHITE GUY! wanna join us on our totally awesome expedition?

screw it, i don't see why not!

aw yeah, another member of the gangalang!

gangalang?

that's what they call their acquaintances/friends

THAT'S SICK!
i'm gonna start saying that

i guess i'll allow that

even if you didn't, what are you gonna do about it?

uh... i actually have no idea

LMAO

*six hours later*
also everybody is now crazy fucking drunk

*vomits everywhere*

AW DUDE, SICK!!!

it looks like fruit loops

it does...

*vomits*

good god this is disgusting

we need to get home,
who's driving?

well definitely not white guy

how many drinks did you have

um... like 6

great, you're driving!

wait WHAT?!
how many did YOU have?

12 i think

oh fuck me in the ass...

they haul the white guy into the back of the pacermailmobile, and blue guy hops in alongside him.
green guy gets in the driver seat, and prepares themself

you guys ready for the ride of your life?

YESS!!!!

*a bunch of incoherent babbling*

well, let's GO!!!!

woo....

this is so awesome

they're now driving down sunset boulevard, way past the speed limit

WOO HOO!!! this is fucking awesomeeee

dude how fucking fast are we going???

i have NO idea bruh

dont crash my vehiclee
(everything he just said was nearly incomprehensible)

i won't!! i sweaar

don't go too fast you're gonna get us pulled over!!

the meter dips from 80mph to 40mph

thats better i guess

asdghsahdsjgdeyugdyadsuihdskjda

can you shut them up?! i'm trying to drive!!!

blue guy shoves their fist down white guy's throat
then white guy vomits ALL OVER their fist

WHAT THE FUCK??!?

not what i had in mind whatsoever!

I DID WHAT I COULD!

you could've done SO MANY other things, yet you do that.

i don't know!
you made it sound really urgent, so i had to act fast!

oh my fucking god-
you're just as stupid as you were back when we were underneath that fuckin bridge!

THAT WAS LIKE TWO DAYS AGO, YOU DAMNED BASTARD!

whatthefuckareyouguystalkingabout
(once again, you can barely understand what they're trying to say)

get your fucking fist out of their mouth! they're trying to speak!

blue guy removes their fist from the white guys mouth, and their fist is now coated in post-vomit saliva

*VIOLENT COUGHING*

what were you trying to say, white guy?

what the fuck are you guys talking about??!?!?

we were talking about my decision to shove my fist down your throat!

why did you do thattt

i don't know! they asked me to shut you up!

because you were babbling and i can't focus on driving!
i'm already drunk! it's hard enough as is.

i am WAY more drunk than you are, shut up

why didn't we just call a taxi or something?!

fuck, why DIDN'T we do that!?

money reasons or somethingprobablyidon'tknow

YOU LITERALLY MUGGED BILL GATES!
money isn't an issue

oh yeah, right
then ihavenocluewhywedidn't

god, we're all fucking stupid...
WHERE AM I DRIVING TO ANYWAY!?

findahotelorsomething

they drive for another 15 minutes, and find a cheap (by L.A. standards) hotel to crash at for the night
customer service hates them all by the way. they were a NIGHTMARE to get booked for a room
anyways, morning has come, and they've all got the craziest hangover known to man

my head hurts so bad holy shit

i remember very little of last night. 12 drinks does something to a person.

dude i think i had like 18,
HOW WAS I ALIVE?!

remind me to never let us go to a bar EVER AGAIN.

i never want to go through such a thing as that ever again.
i cannot BELIEVE i was okay with one of you driving the pacermailmobile at the time.

well you sure as shit weren't driving it considering the state you were in

yeah dude you shoulda seen yourself.
it was truly pitiful

i don't even want to know...

*green and blue guy erupt into laughter upon recalling the events of last night*

oh my god stop it

it was so fucking funny you have NO idea

can the both of you shut the hell up!?
i don't want to think about it any longer

oh fine, we'll refrain from bringing it up

you're no fun.

it's embarrassing, of course i don't want it being brought up!

okay, anyways, what do y'all say we do?

"y'all", what are you, a hillbilly?

oh fuck off, anyways, answer my question

i mean, we're in L.A., there's infinite possibilites.
just no more overly violent crimes.

drugs is always a great idea! L.A. is a party city after all!

what kind of drugs?

hard drugs

we lost our damned minds just from a few drinks,
what makes you think we could handle ANYTHING harder than that?

oh don't be a buzzkill! c'mon!

oh fine, you've peer pressured me enough

*five hours later*
they're now in a gas station bathroom geeked out of their minds.
they got their hands on a bunch of fentanyl

dude why did you let me agree to this

i can't tell if i love this or hate this

cut to a shot of the green dude literally trying to scratch their skin off

well i think we know how they feel about it

haha, yeah that's for sure

i can't take this anymore i'm tweaking the fuck out

me too

this was our worst decision yet

well i think we're gonna learn our lesson with this one

someone help me...

how much longer will this be...
i'm losing my fucking mind over here

i think it should last another six hours or something

ANOTHER SIX HOURS? LORD KILL ME!

dude that's way too long
i'm gonna kill myself

ok nobody kill themselves

you can't stop me

*fast forward 6 hours*

i think i'm dying

what the fuck??? NO!!!

take good care of my pacermailmobile when i'm gone

there's no fucking way this is happening

i'm sorry i can't control when i die this was bound to happen

what?! what are you talking about!?

i was diagnosed with a chronic illness twelve years ago.
the doctors told me they didn't know when i would die, and that my death would be sudden.
i chose to just finish highschool, and live it up as much as possible after that
but i never imagined it would be so soon.
the doctors said they give it like 20 years minimum, and after that it could've been any time.
i never would've predicted that my death would be so.. untimely.

do you think the fentanyl had something to do with it?!

probably, i remember the doctor saying something like "steer clear of opioids"

you do know that fentanyl is one of the most potent opiods out there, right?

well shit, no wonder i'm dying

ya live an idiot, you die one too

hell yeah that quote's tuff as hell
anyways, time for some sick last words!
it ain't about where you end up, it's how you got there.
goodbye, guys. i didn't know you long but you were real fuckin fun to be with

*white guy dies dramatically*

no way they just... died like that.

i'm gonna miss the guy

i can't believe this happened

me neither dude

what the fuck do we do with their body??

i have an idea, but i don't think i should say it

green guy stares at blue guy with a very concerned look

you're fucking sick, dude

you know i'm weird!

well that's outta the damn question

let's just dump the body in the ocean come nighttime

alright, let's do that.

they wait until the clock strikes half-past midnight, and rush to the ocean with the body

okay, on 3, we dump him in

alright,
1, 2, 3

they toss the body in the ocean and try to push it out

we didn't think about the fact the waves would push him back in, did we?

oh shit

let's just get the hell out of here

they get the hell out of there, and find themselves in some fuckass alley

WE FORGOT ABOUT THE PACERMAILMOBILE!

aw fuck we gotta go get it

goddamnit how could we be so careless!?
one of their dying wishes was for us to take care of the pacermailmobile

they run back over and hop in the pacermailmobile

ok get in the passenger seat, i'm driving

wtf i wanted to drive lowkey

you drove last time!

but i was drunk

yeah well i don't care we need to go and we need to go NOW

step on the gas bitch we're not even moving

*imitates car sounds*

they start the car, and drive off swiftly

okay where the hell am i driving to

MALIBU!
like that one Hole song!

oh baby drive awayyyy to malibuuu

elite ball knowledge right there man
hold on, put that album on the stereo

Celebrity Skin?

yeah yeah that

alright.
*grabs a cassette that showed up outta nowhere and puts it in*

god, that's just what i needed to hear right now

'yknow, living life on the run like this really is fun
i can't believe i used to hate you, when i was a cop

haha yeah, me neither.
i mean, we were enemies
and this was all what, a week or two ago?
i haven't a clue.

crazy times really do change people, i guess
now we're like, what, best friends?

that's what i'd say we are.
wonder how that orange fucker is doin' now.
they're probably still rotting in a putrid jail cell

in all honesty they acted SO stuck up.
a prude, for sure.
like, learn to live a little, will ya?

it's SO hard to believe you were once a fucking COP.
was that whole act you had back then just for the job, or?

pretty much yeah.
i was only a cop for the money. it pays pretty well.
i couldn't give less of a shit about upholding the law and all that bullshit now.

that is SO funny to me dude,
if i hadn't known you were a cop back then, i woulda never guessed

what can i say?
i'm a bit of a strange individual

the two continue their yimmer-yammering all throughout the drive, with Celebrity Skin playing in the background.
Malibu grows oh so much closer, and by the end of the cassette, they've made it

head for Mulholland Highway, then we'll get onto State Route 27.
we just need to get away from L.A. for a bit.

funny how we went to L.A. to get away from crime,
and then we gotta flee from L.A. for MORE crime

yeah, how the fuck did we even get to this point in life?
i mean, i had a fairly normal childhood but that whole thing fucked me up i guess.

me too,
i just really fucked up with that pomygranit thing.
i wish i could undo it, i was just really fucking freaked and didn't know what to do

i get that.
i mean, we all make mistakes.
ours just happened to be way worse than everyone elses.

yeah. i don't think god's gonna forgive me for ANY of this, but i'm just living it up.
i mean, you only live once.
(god i sound like a cornball)

you don't sound like a cornball, i mean,
you're just being truthful to yourself.
you don't give a shit because you live once, and are making the most of it

thanks man, that means a lot to me
y'know, this might just be the happiest i've ever been.
i'm lowkey on the run for so much shit, and i'm just burning through life.
how does it get better than this?

it doesn't. this is what it's all about.

see, you understand.
you get it.

how much longer do ya think we're gonna be on Mulholland Highway?

uh... like an hour? maybe an hour and a half?

good thing this car is comfortable.

yeah, this pacermailmobile is like the best car i've ever been in.
a good car, really

that white guy and... fuck, what was his name?
zerlon verblorden III? is that it?
whatever the guys name is, they did a great job on this pacermailmobile.

yeah, that sounds about right.
he's got quite a stupid name.
like, ZERLON VERBLORDEN III?

i can't lie, it really is a dumb fucking name. like, come on.

it really is a shame that the white guy died.
and we couldn't even have a funeral for them or anything.
they were like a criminal, so if we reported the death, we'd get caught for all our shit too.
and we were so stupid to dump his body in the ocean.

yeah. wish we coulda buried them properly. but we can't risk it i guess.
i'm really gonna miss the guy, they were really funny, and a hell of a person to be around

they were so funny, and really cool. and to think we only knew them for two or three days is crazy.
felt like an eternity.

i know right!? it felt like forever!
y'know, i could say the same for you, it's been like a week, feels like a lifetime

for real!
maybe one day, we can escape our past, start a new life,
and leave all this shit behind
no more hiding from the cops, driving all across California,
and praying for a place to sleep at night.

i've got such mixed feelings about living this kinda life.
on one hand, you're just burning through the days of the week like a wildfire, and living carelessly.
but on the other hand, you gotta flee at the slightest chance of getting caught and got almost nothing to your name.
i can't tell if the pros outweigh the cons or if the cons outweigh the pros.

never heard something so true. i totally get what you mean.
but i'm just out here to make the most of it, ya feel me?

we need to put some more music on, i totally forgot about celebrity skin
let me check what white guy had in here

green guy proceeds to rummage around in the glove compartment, and any storage area they can see.
they find five cassettes.
Nirvana's Nevermind, Radiohead's OK Computer, The Beatles' Abbey Road Weezer's Blue Album, and Weezer's Pinkerton.

hey dude, which one are ya feeling?
also, damn this dude had good music taste.

holy shit they were a weezer fan. that's insane
anyways, i'm thinking Nevermind

green dude pops the cassette in the stereo, and presses the play button

what do you think of Nirvana, green guy?

only one of the BEST BANDS OF ALL TIME!
i love nirvana

that's the only right answer.
i knew you were chill like that

it's so weird to think about the position we're in right now.
driving down Mulholland Highway, on the run, listening to Nirvana
this is freakin' sick, dude

haha, yeah
can't wait to get onto the next road.
been driving down this one for far too long, i swear

it hasn't even been that long dude, chill out

my perception of time is all messed up, i suppose

probably, the fentanyl might've done that

oh my god i almost forgot that happened i'm actually tweaking

dude that's literally how white guy died.
HOW DO YOU FORGET THAT

reminder; the fentanyl fucked me up

that's gonna be your excuse for everything now, isn't it?

yep! and YOU can't stop me!

oh goddamnit. you suck.

they continue driving down Mulholland Highway, and eventually make it onto State Route 27

State Route 27, at last!

dude, it took us an hour and fifteen minutes.
it wasn't that bad.

easy for YOU to say, you weren't the one driving.

you're so dramatic

oh my god, SHUT UP

they stop for gas briefly, and then continue onward.
while they were at the gas station, they picked up some snacks and a drink or two. non-alcoholic this time.

okay, how far down '27 do you wanna drive?
also, can you take over with driving? i'm sick of it

as far as we can go. we need to waste a lot of time

alright. do you think we have everything we need?

yeah im pretty sure

alright i'll hop in the passenger seat

they get in the car and go onward

non-alcoholic
