Life's a drag

[TheEldritchGod]

With padding and makeup and costumes and jewels, I will create a life that keeps living without me, as my conscious self shrivels up as into Kafka-esque pill big. The soft inside bits slowly pull away from the shell, leaving the armored exoskeleton to move through the motions I no longer have the strength to live through.

Why do I see an entire set of clothing and extremely heavy make-up walking around at a party, then suddenly, at the end of the night, when everyone is leaving, it suddenly shudders and collapses to the floor. The owner of the house investigates only to find there never was anyone wearing any of it in the first place.

I love that plot twist!
