...And Your Friends Closer

by MR

There's monsters out there. Yeah, I know everyone says there ain't no such thing but they're lyin'. I know they're lyin' cause I saw one.

He looked jus' like my best friend. Even talked like’im. But it wasn' really him, cause yer best friend don' do stuff like what he did to me.

I'm not real sure how he made himself look so much like Fraser though. You wouldn' think a monster could do that, wouldja? Make himself look like your best friend n’ then hurt ya?

It's not like I woulda even cared if he'd just gave me a choice. I love'im. He knows that. He knows how much I love'im. An he said he loved me.

But he didn'give me no choice, understand? He jus' took what he wanted. Took it away from me without even carin' that it hurt. Hell, he liked that it hurt. He kept tellin' me how much he liked that it hurt.

No, I don' wanna tell you what he said. Cause it was evil, okay? Evil an dirty an twisted an sick. I been a cop for 16 years, it's not like I don' know people talk like that. I've heard'em talk like that to their brothers n' sisters, their parents, hell, even their wives n' girlfriends n' kids. But I always had a gun 'tween me n' them while they was talkin'. An that kept what they was sayin' from hurtin' me.

With Frase I didn' have a gun. Didn' think I needed one. Stupid, huh? But ya don' think yer gonna need a gun when yer best friend comes over to watch some videos. We done it before. I don' know what made this time different. Wish I did but I don'.

What was it…if Frase were here, the real Frase, not the monster one, he could remember his name…some famous guy that said Lord protect me from my friends, I can take care a my enemies myself? Cause if the monster could make itself look like Frase…what chance do any of us have?
