Mashed Potato

Lacey: What are you trying to catch me at?

*Later*

A reader: It’s madness.

You’re not really seeing anything real.

The Illuminati: That’s essentially impossible. We’ve all seen them.

Wait, who are you talking about?

*They laugh*

A reader: I’m just trying to get a rise out of her!

I know it’s possible that they’re real.

The Illuminati: Who even are you!??

A reader: A female, white member of the perfume community. I’m just being a jealous bitch. *she giggles*

The Illuminati: So you think that’s cute!?!

A reader: *nods*

I get a lot of tail.

The Illuminati: That’s not how I meant what I just said.

A reader: Okay.

*looks nervous*

Okay.

*looks increasingly nervous*

I’m not-

*Looks very nervous*

The Illuminati: You’re not American? You’re Russian?

A reader: No.

Okay.

*snarls*

*God escorts her out, so to speak*

Lacey: Is there anyone who can explain?

An Evangelical Christian: You don’t explain, but I have a feeling I know what happened. These men fell genuinely in love with you. Offered you real commitment, maybe even marriage, on a certain level. And then they took it back, ruined it, or whatever. And…it’s not that you’re dumb…it’s that you’re just not being given anyone who’s-

Okay…that’s-

Am I right about any of this?

Lacey: Yes.

Do you need a detailed description!?

An Evangelical Christian: This is all highly unusual. I can’t-

Like…what!?

God: She’s not an average woman. Do you understand who Tom is? Her father?

An Evangelical Christian: No.

God: He wasn’t a bank robber. He was a buddy of FDR. …Her father was friends with extremely powerful people.

An Evangelical Christian: I don’t get it.

God: Yes you do. You’re lying.

*Later*

Lacey: What is it people are even thinking?

A random guy: You are scaring people!

Lacey: Why!?

Why?

A random guy: Because it’s so real.

Lacey: And you’re all used to sensationalism.

A random guy: Yes.

Lacey: Well…it’s very experimental.

*later*

Lacey: Please try to explain. What is it!?!

*later*

Kelly Clarkson: I got harassed at a store. Recently. In Brooklyn.

Lacey: What does that have to do with anything I’m talking about…?

Kelly: Nothing. I just thought that would be up your alley.

*she laughs*

Lacey: *Reads the article she’s directed to. Acts empathetic.*

Kelly: In all honesty? I’m making fun of you. Do you get how or are you actually that dumb?

Lacey: How-

*totally confused*

What’s the idea?

Kelly: Bobby said that the CIA forced him to tell them that his dad, Bobby-

A buddy of hers: SHHH!!!!

Kelly: I’m drunk.

*laughs*

HIS DAD GRABBED HIS CROTCH!

*laughs*

Bobby: I am currently investigating if my dad molested me. Yes. My dad Bobby.

Why is this being shared?

Kelly: Wait what?

Mina Kimes: Because…-

Bobby: You all told Faye Emerson to fuck Elliott. You tricked him.

Kelly: What does this have to do with me?

Mina: Bobby is my friend.

Bobby: We are not going there!

We are soo not going there.

Kelly: Lacey. The insult is that you’re too poor to even go to the store.

Satan: *cracks-up laughing*

Oh wait. Shit.

*notices that Lacey is really hurt*

But Lacey can afford…-

Lacey: Can you not understand why I’m hurt?

Satan: *Thinks*

Because you’re abandoned. And you’re being targeted by ruthless, blind, deeply self-focused women.

Or you’re…far too alone.

They’re worse than what I just said…-

Lacey: Yes.

Satan: Yeah. It’s an insult to your intelligence and a sick denial of your existence.

Lacey: Was Kelly Clarkson in the Epstein movie?

Satan: *laughs*

No.

*laughs*

Lacey: Oh GOOD GRIEF!

Satan: Are you mad that you’re hurt?

Lacey: YES!!!

This is all God has for me!? Just this nonsense!?

Satan: Let’s start over.
