He who laughs last

He who laughs last..

Hate Hospitals.

<<Arthur Fleck it's your fault we are here. Your dying.>>

So said the dark jester in my pounding head.

Well with material like mine what do you expect?

"Hate flowers."

"Their from the White House."

Nurse no nonsense announced in her fake chirpy voice.

"Especially from the White House!"

"Be nice." No nonsense sighed behind her white mask in her white full body suit, with a matching white pearl handle pistol strapped to her white right side and placed the White lilies beside my white bed anyway.

Hate people in masks more.

Hate that the last person to see me alive is wearing a mask.

<<But you always knew they would be.>>

I Laughed which caused me to cough.

She pulled away as most people do these days.

Your wearing a suit and that damned mask!

As if reading my thoughts she remembered and adjusted my head until the coughing stopped.

"You mustn't try to laugh now Arthur it will only bring on an attack."

<< Mustn't try to laugh?

Did little Miss No nonsense not know about your condition!

How could she not know?

You are known as the laughing president for crying out loud.>>

You forget sweet Jester I'm over ten years out of politics. I'm about as relevant as my space in her world.

Her generation have a new joker to tweet over.

Headache!

That flickering TV ain't helping.

<<Wish they tune that damn thing right or at least switch channels.

Another regurgitating special on the corona virus. Ain't it bad enough we are dying from it.>>

Now now, no point changing unless you want to die watching murder she wrote.

<<Could be worse could be Matlock. Just didn't envisage this was the way we would cash in our chips.>>

Maybe I shouldn't have killed the Batman.

<< Yeah shooting him on that toilet seat in Wayne manor was such an anticlimax.>>

Media still hyped it especially when they found out that the late Bruce Wayne was the Batman.

<<Found out! As if they didn't know. Who the hell else could it have been.>>

Your right. But when playboy had enough to buy the city ain't nobody was revealing that tidbit until the man was dead and gone.

Should have let him kill us would have been a better death than this one.

<<After all we did, didn't we deserve it and the Batman would have had our blood on his hands. >>

I would have died laughing all the way to the grave.

I would have died knowing the Truth.

The only truth.

It's all a joke.

But on that day it wasn't me that died just him and my sense of humor.

Without the Bat everything just lost its fun side.

Becoming president didn't help.

<< Wasn't hard after Luther made an ass of the job. >>

Tried making it fun. Gave it my best shot at been the worst super villain president ever.

<< Ever? Ok. Taylor Swift.>>

Whatever!

But nobody seemed to notice or care.

Just look at some of my policies.

<< Can't believe we got away with most of them.>>

I wanted to build a dome around our United States in the shape of a big top.

All superhero's deported on grounds of tax evasion due to duel identity.

Made it compulsory for all Americans to carry a gun and fought for the legalisation of Americans for their rights to buy nuclear weapons from their local Walmart.

The right to bare arms under the second amendment is the right to bare arms.

Nuclear or conventional.

Besides what's the point in making nuclear arms if you can't sell them.

Goes against free enterprise.

Goes against the American way.

Oh! I also wanted free health care.

That's what got me kicked out of office.

<<That commie and been to old.>>

Ten years shoved into an old folks home just waiting to die.

A death the Batman was suppose to save me from.

A long tedious slow death.

Nurse No nonsense achieving what the Batman couldn't do.

<<She's gazing at our heart monitor.>>

Her eyes look worried.

<<She finally gives a F**k. Guess this means we are going to die! >>

Strange I can feel my life going.

I always thought that was just an expression.

About time.

<< This is it baby so long and thanks for all the Laughs. Wonder if we are going have a punch line. Got to end on a punchline.>>

Maybe not.

<<Still least you killed the Batman.>>

True

Bruce

Who has the last laugh...

I laughed and the coughing came back this time i knew it was my last attack.

Doctors and more nurses rushed in but I didn't heed them.

The TV had just tuned itself in.

My last thoughts was on its commentary.

"Hard to believe this whole Pamademic was started by bats."

"Yes it is rather strange."

Answered Doctor Thomas Wayne.

This joker wasn't sure?

Just before I died.

I thought I could hear Bruce's boy laugh.

Ha Ha Ha H...
