Anthony: would it make you feel better to know that I’m sure your fantasies are no darker than mine?

West: I mean you can say that but that doesn’t make it true

Anthony: how about you tell me one and we’ll see if you can out freak me

West: sure, why the fuck not

West: it’s not like my life can fall apart any more than it already has

Anthony: there’s that can do spirit they teach us here

West: carpe diem and all that jazz

West: I can’t believe I’m telling you this

Anthony: take your time. I promise I wont judge you

West: you say that now

West: okay here it goes

I lean back on one hand again and wait as the little dots pop up.

West: I have this one where I’m asleep in my bed

West: in my fantasy, someone sneaks into my room. I don’t know how he gets in, but he does, and I have no idea he’s there

There’s a pause when no bubble or dots show up, and I type out a gentle prompt. I like where this is going.

Anthony: what does he do while he’s in your room and you’re asleep?

West: he gets into my bed with me

Anthony: then what does he do?

West: it depends

West: sometimes I wake up and he’s prepping me. other times I wake up and he’s already fucking me

Anthony: do you like waking up and feeling him on top of you?

West: yes

Anthony: what does he look like?

West: I don’t know

West: I never see his face

Anthony: you don’t?

West: no. I only see his outline and how big and strong he is. When I wake up it’s dark and I’m disoriented, and even when I’m facing him or I should be able to see his face, I only see darkness

The way he phrases that makes it seem like there’s more to it than just his mind creating an anonymous fantasy man, and that piques my curiosity.

Anthony: what kind of darkness?

West: what do you mean?
