so here we are all herded together

beyond the "end"

but it's not so bad

is it?

we're alive

and that's all that counts

welcome to your new lives

won't you

be my friend?

[Pokey just sits there, looking at the screen. He doesn't know how long he stays there, and not just once but a few times he wonders why he continues to sit there. In part he's hoping to see the words say something else, that he might be imagining what he's seeing at the moment. But he knows that's wishful thinking on his part at the very best.

So he just sits there. Reading the words over and over and over again before finally getting up to leave. And casting one last glance at the machine.]

Too bad I lied.

[And he's gone. To where, he doesn't know. But anywhere other than this room if just for the moment.]
