THE END

WHATCHA GONNA DO?

Okay. So here you are, 32 years old, a pizza delivery guy and stuck out here in the middle of a forest. Come on, Mitch. Whatcha gonna do?

Oh, and who’s the dame? Charcoaled face over impacted make-up and blood flowing from numerous head injuries. Pretty in her tattered financial district power suit, but not that powerful now. So tell me, Mitch. Whatcha gonna do?

“Where are we?” she tells you in a bit of a daze. You don’t know, and you tell her that. You remember the plane, the oxygen masks dropping in front of you and then digging yourself out of the debris. You have no idea whatcha gonna do.

“What happened to the plane?” she asks you in that innocent way women usually pull on you. You say nothing and she only grows more impatient with you.

“Are we the only two left?” she says.

You nod, not mentioning that alone was the reason you took the plane in the first place. Alone was what you needed before the others—

“I’m talking to you,” she says with that indignant tone people keep using with you. “My name is Molly. I’m an attorney. What’s your name?”

She’s holding out her hand to you and you, like a sap, take it. “Mitch. I deliver pizzas.”

That look again, Mitch. That bitch gave you that look just like all the other women from before.

“Of all the people to be stuck with, I get the Domino’s kid,” she tells you with that superior attitude of hers. My god, Mitch, she’s practically laughing at you.

Come on, Mitch. Whatcha gonna do?

She says: “Well, as I’m the educated one here, I guess it’s my job to get us out of this place.”

“No one else survived,” you tell her. Probably too much info, Mitch, but she plays it off, and then you gotta add: “One guy kinda made it but he didn’t make it.”

She’s staring at you, Mitch. She probably thinks you’re crazy like the others did, before they made you run away.

“Are you all right?” she asks.

You’re about to say it, Mitch. I can feel it. Just let it go.

“Do you ever hear voices in your head?” you ask her.

She moves away from you. “No,” she replies. I can see she’s nervous now. “Do you?”

And then a great recovery, Mitch. “No, not really. We may as well start home. It’s a long way to the nearest town.”

And then you walk her around the place where you stashed the body of the one guy who did survive. Well, who survived the crash, at least.

And she follows.

You know, Mitch, there’s a reason why I stick around you. You always do know how to have fun.
