[ IP ] Parking Fee

`` Goddamn it Harry, we only have five more minutes!'' 
 
 Harry's hands smacked around his pants frantically like whack-a-mole. 
 
 `` I do n't have enough!'' 
 
 Jack pulled his hair. 
 
 `` Go to the ATM!'' 
 
 `` Shut the fuck up man, why do n't you pay? I do n't have enough!'' 
 
 `` I do n't even have my wallet!'' 
 
 `` Why the fuck do n't you have your wallet?!'' 
 
 Jack stopped and pondered the question for himself. 
 
 `` It does n't exist yet.'' 
 
 `` Bullshit.'' 
 
 Jack's jaw dropped in disbelief. 
 
 `` You do n't believe me?'' 
 
 `` Of course not, you dick!'' 
 
 Harry let out a sigh. 
 
 `` We're so screwed. Jack, we're fucked. They're gon na find us. They're going to 
 find out about all of our shit. We're gon na have to give up everything, go to 
 jail. They're gon na take all of it.'' 
 
 A doorframe with a bluish glow where the door should be sits in front of them. 
 More people start to file in line behind them. Jack notices the line getting bigger. 
 
 `` We still have 3 minutes, ask *that* dude,'' he said into Harry's ear. 
 
 Harry craned his neck around awkwardly and checked the man out behind him. 
 
 He wore a black suit, black tie, and black shoes. 
 
 `` Excuse me, si-'' 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 `` You did n't even let m-'' 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 `` Asshole,'' Harry muttered under his breath. 
 
 `` Hurry, man.'' 
 
 Harry taps a woman's shoulder behind the black suited man. 
 
 `` Excuse me, miss, can you spare a couple of dollars, we're about to exist, but 
 we did n't park our souls yet and-'' 
 
 `` I'm sorry, I ca n't help you.'' 
 
 `` Listen,'' 
 
 Harry got closer. 
 
 `` I have some fire bud waiting for you if you could just give me five bucks.'' 
 
 `` ONE MINUTE DUDE!'' Jack fidgeted like he had to pee. 
 
 The woman raised an eyebrow. 
 
 `` What's bud?'' 
 
 ``... like weed?'' 
 
 `` You're offering me drugs for money?'' 
 
 `` Yeah, we do n't want them to do a background check, and that fee is ridiculous.'' 
 
 `` You realize they wo n't even let you *exist* if they found out about the 
 information you just told me.'' 
 
 Harry realized at that moment that he fucked up. 
 
 `` You're not gon na tell anybody are you?'' 
 
 `` Not if you have some fire bud waiting for me.'' 
 
 She handed him the money and smiled. 
 
 Harry slid the cash in the slot like a vending machine. Jack walked 
 through the door first. 
 
 Harry slid the five dollars in the slot and walked through the door. 
 
 A whirlwind of emotion hit him as his soul entered his body. He saw endless 
 spirals and fractals. Squares folded into more squares. A white light 
 absorbed him. 
 
 Harry opened his eyes. He saw Jack in front of him in a grassy field. A forest 
 surrounded the field 
 
 `` We made it! We made it, Harry! No background check, no fees, nothing!'' 
 
 `` We're the only people who exist here?'' 
 
 Something rustled in the trees around them. 
 
 `` Apparently not.'' 
 
 They started to back away from the rustling. 
 
 The woman burst through the vegetation. 
 
 `` Where the fuck is the kush?''
