On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Right now you need to be patient.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Dude, I'm burning this fucking fortune cookie on my next smoke break.

I'm having a disturbing vision of shrift snarling fiercely and covering it with tiny cigarette burns, muttering, "You wanna lecture me, cookie? I got your patience right here, fucko!"

I think that's the proper response.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just got an email from someone who wanted my phone number so she could yell at me. HA HA HA.

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

Give her GWB's phone number, Jesse.

I've just remembered a third reason I might faint. The whole not eating thing.

Know what suck? Vicious FUCKING circles. Or cycles. Or both. Whatever.

Why, JZ, it's like you know me!

She told you this?

I'm waiting for a response from someone. And I need it today, because stuff is on the calendar for tomorrow that needs to be pulled if something is indeed wrong.

Of course....silence.
