Franz Kafka: submitted for the approval of the midnight society i call this the tale of the labyrinthine bureaucracy
Kafka: never mind, it sucks
Kafka: all my stories suck, no one should ever hear them
King: no no you were doing fine
Kafka: no i suck
Kafka: and i& #39;m ugly too
Kafka: i& #39;m a failure and i& #39;m dumb
Barker: jeez now you& #39;re bringing me down
Poe: clive
Barker: oh what we were all thinking it
Kafka: promise me when i& #39;m dead you& #39;ll destroy my work
Barker: what am i, your maid? do it yourself
Kafka: i can& #39;t, i& #39;m just so tired
Kafka: what if i was just a bug, a stupid bug
Kafka: then i wouldn& #39;t be such a burden
King: you& #39;re not a burden franz
Kafka: everyone hates me and they& #39;re right to hate me
King: it& #39;s hard times franz, everyone is feeling bad
Kafka: but what if
Kafka: things were WORSE
Kafka: i had a story about how we& #39;re all just cogs in a system of control
Kafka: but it made me too depressed
Frank Belknap Long: you know what i bet would help?
Long: that story about being a dog, tell that one
Barker: oh gee i wonder why you would say that
King: guys i& #39;m really concerned about franz, he& #39;s been really depressed lately
Barker: really now? i hadn& #39;t noticed
King: you know what I think he needs now? more than anything?
Poe: the support of friends?
Barker: drugs, he needs drugs
King: no
King: INSPIRATIONAL GLURGE!
Kafka: we& #39;re all prisoners of a system, unable to break free stifled by forces beyond our control
King: hey franz, look at this
King: [holds up a picture of a cartoon owl saying & #39;you are valid& #39;]
King: i got it from the internet
Kafka:
King: did it work?
Kafka:
King: did it?
King: i just don& #39;t know
King: i showed him the cartoon owl
King: i showed him the cartoon kitten saying & #39;adulting is hard& #39;
King: i showed him the cartoon puppy saying & #39;tfw& #39;
King: i don& #39;t think there& #39;s any other remedies for depression
Koontz: i have a story
King: not now dean we& #39;re trying to help franz here
Koontz: it& #39;s ABOUT franz
Koontz: so this one time franz met a little girl who lost her doll, so he helped her look for it but they didn& #39;t find it
Koontz: so then franz started writing letters to the little girl as her doll
Koontz: telling her not to be sad, bc the doll was out traveling to see the world
King: [tearing up] oh my god dean
Poe: [tearing up] are you ok clive
Barker: [tearinng up] i i i just have something in my eye
Kafka:
