[iamawake]

I wanna talk about Alice. Just look at her. She's really beautiful, isn't she? Your wife. Well, our wife, really. (soft laugh) Just my wife, soon.
(car alarm goes off in the distance)
Don't worry! I'm not going to treat her like the others. She's special! (car alarm stops) If I wanted her dead, she would be. I've been around for awhile now.

(long pause, then a sigh)
So talented.
(rustle of papers)
You haven't seen her new work, of course. Oh! It takes my breath away. Really! She's that good.

(rumbling/roar noise in the background. large vehicle? wind? it continues periodically until the end of the feed.)
(scoffs)
Did you know that I've got a wedding ring, too? We're that similar! She's seen me a couple times, you know. I've let her catch glimpses. She thinks she's imagining things, of course. She thinks you're dead. You might as well be, I mean, even if you manage to keep surviving, you'll be in my trap forever. So I'll go to her. It'll be an amazing moment.

(falsetto) Oh my god. You're alive!

I'll be the good, loving husband for as long as I can stand it. She'll love it.
And then? One day. Somehow. It'll happen. Maybe I'll slip up, she spots something, or... maybe she just starts running her mouth. And then, I'll do it.
(pauses) It's gonna be sweet. (amused huff)

(sighs)
Ahh. My darling wife.
