Floating Heads (Part 1)

George
The afterlife is boring.
Abagail
There has to be a reason for this Limbo…
George
I told you,
You should have done the paperwork!
Abagail
Why is this all my fault?
George
If we’d had our tax done we’d be in heaven by now…
Abagail
Oh My God!!
George
…Making out with HOT angels.
Abagail
(stony silence)
George
But NO!! YOU had more important things to do.
Abagail
I was VERY busy, George,
and besides..
WHERE in the Bible does it say
“Thou must payeth taxes or endeth upeth in Limbo?”
George
It’s probably in the fine print. You know I don’t see well out of my left eye!
Abagail
(Withering look).
George
I’m bored.
Abagail
(Looks somewhere else)

George
I said I’M BORED!!
Abagail
What EXACTLY would you like me to do about it?
George
I don’t know… SOMETHING!
Abagail
Can’t you just Be Still within yourself?
George
WHAT THE HELL DOES ‘BE STILL’ MEAN??
Abagail
It means to sit quietly… with yourself.
George
oh…
it’s a bit boring.
I wish we could find some Can-Can girls.
Abagail
And why do you want to find Can-Can girls?
George
It used to give me great pleasure to watch the Can-Can girls.
Abagail
You just want to see their panties!!
George
There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to catch a glimpse of snatch.
Abagail
I swear, sometimes it’s like a Playboy magazine spread it’s paper legs and gave birth to you.
George
IF ONLY….
Abagail
You are the spawn of the Devil!!!

George
Abagail??
Abagail
Yes, George.
George
Do you really believe in the devil??
Abagail
As in ‘The Devil’… red suit, pronged tail and all that malarky?
George
Shhh. he could be listening!!
Abagail
How do you know ‘The Devil’ is a man??
George
The Devil is definately a man.
Abagail
WHO SAYS??
George
All references to The Devil are masculine… just like GOD!!
Abagail
God doesn’t have a SEX!!
George
Yes HE does!!
Abagail
No IT doesn’t!!
George
God is a man. A very, very clever man. He made me in his image, you know.
Abagail
God must be a very, very ugly woman.

Floating Heads (Part 1) by 


George and Abagail have been my constant companions for the past five years. They have absolutely dominated my journals with their conversations. Their voices are audibly loud to me. They make me laugh and make me cry. The thing is…. They’re Dead. And they seem to be stuck to me. For some reason. :)

    maybe letting them be heard is a kind of exorcism?

  • I wonder all the time who they are and why…. I came to the conclusion that I might not know until they tell me. :)
