Tales from the Darkside

zizokamal

man lives in the sunlit world of what he

believes to be reality

but there is unseen by most an

underworld a place that is just as real

but not as brightly lit a dark side

was that a caramel you're on a diet

I love caramels

they stick to your teeth

what page young I'm almost finished

gonna pass that test tomorrow

computers how many times have I told you

hear you

kitchen you lying on the floor my bag

something happened to my spine should I

call the doctor

bring the book so you can study

I don't think so Nadine

hey Nadine Nadine what's the matter

there's someone out there the window the

face knowing it's raining cats and dogs

why would anyone be out there but Dean

it was so real

look if you want to speak next to the

refrigerator like some household animal

it's okay with me but it's getting late

and I have to go to bed

good morning I'm dr. Roebuck it's you

today a pardon

you were at my window yourself meaning

my husband imagined he saw somebody

outside our window last night doctor

but that's his face I could pick him out

in a crowd

your husband must have been in terrible

pain if he elucidated a face like mine I

was let's see according to your doctor

your back went out all of a sudden I was

picking up a teaspoon nasty things

teaspoons what do you do for a living

tart Department automobile dealership

but he's studying to be a computer

programmer doctor let's look at the

x-ray how am i I would say there's

absolutely nothing wrong with your back

I told him he had to be exaggerating I

mean all that groaning and practically

making me carry him in here is

tournament your husband is definitely in

severe pain I meant there's nothing

visibly wrong then what is it

tension was like to be worried about

something no well that's a computer

class I'm taking you I can never really

feel like that I understand it I mean

that's like pistons and carburetors do

that's because you don't apply yourself

enough darling I'm putting you on a

muscle relax give me a call in a couple

of weeks

I hope you won't be out of work too long

I'll miss too many classes Ruby all

glass I saw even though it is on sale

you can get it maybe I can't decide

which one looks best on me the bloom

other red actually it'll be nice to get

it in both colors if you are really sure

but you're gonna go back to work

sure I'm telling you we have nothing to

worry about

that but if it helps the doctor didn't

help the chiropractor didn't help the

Chinese man sticking needles into you

be better this time I'll try anything
