TW: attempt on Suicidal

Meet our boy, Adam

He’s basically the definition of “He’s an asshole, not a monster”

There’s really not much else to say. He’ll call you every slur in the dictionary and then shove you out of the way of oncoming traffic. He’ll flip off a crying baby, then stuff a lollipop in its mouth so it shuts up. He’s not nice, but he’s... morally confusing. Like a walking contradiction with trust issues and a criminal record waiting to happen.

And to make things even better? He’s broke. Not “ugh, rent’s due, guess I’ll pick up another shift” broke — no. He’s “if I don’t steal something tonight, I’m sleeping in a dumpster” broke.

So yeah. He steals. A lot. Stores, houses, mansions — if it’s got a door, he’s probably broken into it. And somehow, this idiot has never been caught. How? Nobody knows. Maybe God just stopped watching him out of exhaustion.

But then one day, he walks into this random house to rob it, and—boom—there’s a guy.

Fully clothed. In a bathtub. Filled with water.

And this man is just laying there, staring at him like it’s totally normal for strangers to break in during bath time. Doesn’t flinch. Doesn’t scream. Just... blank.

So, naturally, our guy does what any normal thief would do: he steals the TV.

And leaves.

Because, like—whatever’s going on with bathtub guy? Not his problem. If dude wants to marinate in his sadness, that’s between him and his plumbing.

But as he’s sitting in his beat-up car, TV in the passenger seat, engine humming like it’s about to give up on life... he hesitates.

Go back?

Or drive away and pretend none of that ever happened?

For once, he actually has to think.

And he hates that.

I’m too tired to try it out, so comment any problems... have fun!
