The time is 9:30AM and Keith has been at work at his desk for two hours now. Once again it’s another light workload type of day giving Keith’s thoughts all the time in the world to taunt him mercilessly. Keith usually buries his head into work to ignore the consent negging of his thoughts, but today he was stuck in a battle with them. Frustrated with the bombardment of thoughts Keith speaks out just loud enough for his co-worker Lisa to hear him. 

Keith: Fuck!

Lisa: (Turning to Keith with a perplexed look on her face) You alright dude?

Keith: (Bit rattled) Yeah I’m cool just forgot something, and it came to memory. 

Lisa: You sure that’s all, because I haven’t forgotten about you arguing with yourself in the bathroom a few weeks ago. 

Just then Donte, who was sitting at the desk in front Lisa let out a laugh that was heard through the whole office. Keith stared at him with a blink look on his face. 

Donte: Dude I knew we were weird, but shit man should we worry about you shooting up the place?  

Lisa: Yeah just give me a warning so I know not to come in the next day. 

Keith: (Clenched his jaw)…

Donte: Oh Lisa I think we should go now looks like something about to take place. 

Both Donte and Lisa began to laugh as Keith sat staring at him before he heard a voice coming from the reflection of his computer screen. 

Keith’s Reflection: Take that pen and jam it in the eye of Donte. 

Keith: No!

Donte: Relax dude I’m kidding. 

Keith’s Reflection: I know damn well you don’t give a shit about him kidding, or being serious. I know you want to stop him laughing forever. 

Keith pushed himself away from his desk and stood up to make his way to the restroom. As he begins to turn around the reflection is seen giving him a menacing grin. Lisa turned to Donte and began to speak. 

Lisa: I bet you twenty dollars he is going to argue with himself. 

Donte: I mean I be dumb if I take that bet, because we know he is. 

Keith can hear their laughs from the other end of the office before he gets to the hallway of the work office. As soon as he stepped into the hallway he noticed his illusion was leaning against the bathroom door. 

Keith: This is not the time nor place for this nonsense. Get out of my head and out of my life now. (Walks into the bathroom and closed the door before turning around to notice Illusion standing behind him) I said fuck off. 

Keith’s Illusion: Why do you allow them to get away with taunting you like that?

Keith: You taunt me everyday so it’s nothing.

Keith’s Illusion: See I’m you so it’s ok if I talk about myself. 

Keith: You are not me. So you can stop telling yourself that. So what I need you to do is disappear and allow me to get back to work.

Keith’s Illusion: What work? That little project you’ve been working on? You know that hasn’t worked to keep me quiet. The only way to keep me quiet is to take that pen on your desk and jam it in your brain through your eye socket. I won’t be speaking anymore. ( Let’s out an evil laugh)

Keith: Fuck you 

Keith’s Illusion: Your life is pathetic. You can’t even form  healthy enough relationships to get through your eight hour day. Your whole office think your weird as fuck. Let me take it a step further, because I guaran-damn-tee you that your family doesn’t even like you. They Love you out of obligation, just cause you share the same blood. So yes I recommend you end this joke which is your life. 

Keith: I’m going to end you if you don’t shut the fuck up. This is my job. I need you to understand that. You can’t brother me here. 

Keith’s Illusion: ( Pointing and laughing at Keith) Nigga I do and go as I please. You have no control over me, and that’s sad considering I’m in your head. Go ahead and attempt to eject me, pussy. Oh that’s right you can’t. 

Keith: FUCK YOU!!!  

Keith lunges at his illusion who vanishes and causes Keith to fall face first into the wall. Just then Keith hears a knock on the door and is instantly startled.

Donte: Hey dude you alright in there?. 

Keith gets to his feet without a word and goes to the sink to fake wash his hands. Keith faintly heard a female voice from the other side of the door speaking to Donte. 

Lisa: (Giggling) See I told you.

Donte: I didn’t want to believe you this dude is weird.

Keith grabs his phone and makes his way out the bathroom where he is greeted with funny looks by both Lisa and Donte. 
Keith: (Confused) I’m good just was on the phone. Why hell are both of you by the door? Nevermind I don’t want to know I have work to get back to. (Keith walks pass them and makes his way to his desk. Donte and Lisa continue to stand by the bathroom in laughter with one another.)
