To The Edge

He chased me to a literal end of the Earth, a cliff overlooking the ocean, the westmost point of the continent.


As I stood with my back to the sheer drop, he slowly approached me, murder in his eyes.


"Why? Why are you doing this to me? What did I ever do to you?"


He snorted.


"A year ago now, in the capital, you were heading into the Tax Office building, I held the door for you, and you didn't say thank you!"


I stared at him until he laughed.


"Just kidding! There's no reason, actually."


That was somehow worse.
