Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In non-car accident news, I have to tell a story about my cat. He keeps going into my closet, and I don't want him to. But not enough to get up and shut the door all the way, apparently. Anyway. I can yell "no!", I can yell his name, he just blows me off. I make kissy face noises? He runs right out. Like 6 times in a row. OK, he just went to go back in again, and blew off the kissy face noises, but still came when I patted my leg. Dopey cat.

Homer is training you to make kissy face noises. With the occassional leg pat. Tricky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kissy face noises are exactly how you're supposed to call cats.

But wouldn't you think a generic loud yell would at least make him look? Not at all.

For that you need a dog.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Why do all cats answer to "here kitty, kitty, kitty"? I think it's just weird.

Well, someone would need a dog. I can't deal with the maintenance.

For that you need a yard.

It's got to be the cadence and high pitch and whatnot. Like with pig calling. Soo-EE! pigpigpig.

Which I'd then have to maintain. See what I'm saying?
