A fake story


They met in a chat room, used assumed names and sent each other fake photos. They exchanged inauthentic phrases, lied to each other about the immediate need to meet up. They met at a fake corner, kissed each others’ fake lips and wrinkled the sheets of a nonexistent hotel.
They got married with a fake wedding reception and had toy children. Their affairs were fake, with fake women and men who they met using pseudonyms.
The doctors said that they were hypochondriacs, that their illnesses were untrue. They died a fake death in a fake hospital. Their fake children brought plastic flowers to their fake funerals.
