We Need to Do Something

by Max Booth III

Maybe nobody actually loves each other. They just argue and fight and have babies and scream and break things and eventually everybody dies. The outcome will always be the same, no matter what anybody tries to do. Everybody dies. The end.

We dig our own graves and then we jump headfirst.

“We have to do something, don’t we?” I wail. “We have to do something.”

“The truth is, Mel, you can’t prevent the inevitable. No one can. All you can do is delay it for a little while.”
