Fictional account of life events of a poor dumb bastard trying to be in the world and in the Truth at the same time.

Please Don't Stand So Close to Me
Sasha - crazy man chasing a woman half his age. OK, fine . . . less than half his (my) age.
So an escort that I used frequently stopped by this morning. She lives nearby and was having trouble sleeping. I had texted her earlier just to check in and see how she was doing. When I woke up in the middle of the night I saw she had replied after I went to bed, so I typed in a few responses. As it turns out she was awake. So she stopped by before I left for work. We just sat and talked and snuggled on the couch (nothing nasty at all.) While she was sitting there I kept wondering what she wanted. She never comes over unless I pay her and now there she was not asking for money.
So anyway we snuggled for about 1/2 hour before I had to get up and go to work. Of course later that AM she texts me asking for 100 USD. I said OK of course. It is just so disappointing. I mean there is no real way I could ever expect her to want to just come over and snuggle. But the request for funds was just what I would have expected, had I been pragmatic enough earlier in the day.
It just goes to show that I have no real friends. I just have acquaintances I pay for companionship. Nothing more. It is hard being shunned by everyone around me but that is just how things are now. I don't know if they will ever change in my life time. So I don't know if they will ever change for me.
Of course this isn't the first time she borrowed money from me. Once she asked for 400USD. A few weeks later she asked for 300. I never talk about it with her. I promised I would not hound her for repayment. /so after today, I sent a text saying: As I recall you now owe me 800 USD. I told her I wasn't stressing about it but wanted to make sure that she recalled the same thing. Of course she hasn't texted back.
This person, dear reader, is my best real live human friend. The others are gone. So my best friend demands 200 USD per hour to be with me. That's my life. This is me. Dumbass Mark. IHMS.
