— We’re in The Darkness.

— What’s going on, Leon?

— Nothing much. What’s going on with you?

— Not much. Can I ask you what you think about the after-death experience? Do you think it’s real?

— First of all, what’s your name?

— Oh, it’s Bradley, sorry. I want to know about the after-death experience because my brother got killed in a car accident yesterday, and—

— Weird.

— Yeah, it’s really weird. He was cool. He liked your show a lot.

— What happened?

— I don’t know. He just sort of hit somebody. Head on, I guess. He drinks a lot and stuff. So … do you think he, like … do you think he’s somewhere? Because I don’t really believe in that shit, I mean stuff. Sorry. I mean I think he’s probably just rotting. I mean fuck it, you know? Oh shit, sorry.

— Most people think there is something, but I don’t think anybody knows what it is. I think there’s a Hell. I think Hell is the answer to all of our stupid human questions. I think when you die, if you’re cool, you go to Hell and “merge blacks,” to quote The Omen.

— You do?

— Yeah.

— Me too. I think Tim’s in Hell. So, anyway, that’s cool about The Omen playing.

— Yeah, it is.

— Are you going to be there?

— I wouldn’t miss it.

— Okay, cool. Well, maybe I’ll see you there.

— Yeah, if anyone wants to come up and say hi, I’ll be wearing a red, longsleeved Marilyn Manson t-shirt and one of those Peruvian skull necklaces you can buy at La Luz de Jesus.

— Cool. I’ll look for you.

— Thanks, Bradley. Good luck with the thing about your brother. We’re going to take a break. We’re in The Darkness.
