(Genre: Short fictional/post apocalyptic play.. (whatever).. (?)..),
For mature audiences only:
Meanwhile, outside a convenience store in a remote commercial district area surrounded by understaffed distribution centers, headed by those who forgot what they were expected to distribute..
Max: What’s going on man, are you good?
Random person: You asked if I’m “good”, so how do you want to help me..?
Max: I mean like, you seem frustrated so I just thought I’d ask if “you’re good?”.
Random person: I appreciate that you “care”, it’s just that I constantly get asked this question by people who seem to somehow ignore my response to fragmented questions such as “you good?”.
Max: What are you even talking about!?
Random Person: It’s just that, speaking in general, when several of any others somehow try to convey what they claim is a desire to “help” myself, several of them truly do not seem to know what they’re doing, or they’re just looking for a convenient ego boost as they try to “help” me for like two minutes as they then buy me some form of mood elevating substance that no longer helps without realizing that the “favor” will just additionally add to the destruction of my internal organs!
Max: Man what is up with you!?
Random Person: Well I thought you wanted to help–
Max knocks out the random person, enters the convenience store, knocks out the one person working at the counter before he walks back behind the register, robs the convenience store’s last supply of energy drinks. He then drives to a village of burnt out neon lights, takes out his pistol at a bar and restaurant he once visited, exclaims; “Why don’t you rename this ‘Shitass bullshit and a bunch of fu*cking bullshit!’”. The telecom then exclaims; “If you curse, you will get hurt..”. This then causes him to run out the door, while people silently watch while stunned as he holds his pistol to someone parking his pickup truck, orders him and his wife to leave, hops in the driver’s seat, drives off while stroking his shaved chin while admiring the man’s flagpoles and flags on the pickup truck’s rear, while the man’s spotify playlist still plays, while he drives back to the interstate throughway, cursing as others speed twenty miles over the speed limit past him in the right lane, until his lack of awareness causes him to slam into a large semi trailer.
Then, as Max lies in the driver’s seat dead, in between the middle console, a song on the man’s Spotify Playlist of which he committed his armed robbery, plays a song of which has represented something Max has NEVER had and NEVER planned to have had with the purpose of NOT bringing another child into his messed up life, and that song is.. THROWBACK!!!!

And then, Max’s spirit, at some point, woke up, in a happier life, disconnected, interconnected and away from all who tried to mess with him, whether by repeating words he said in the third person while on the phone aggressively talking to another. While, remaining away from those who aggressively insulted him for reasons that they either chose not to or could not put into words. And that was the end of Max.
