Mistah Conrad, he dead?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
They haven't?
I think they have been very methodical in building up think tanks, creating grass roots support, etc. It's the Democrats that haven't kept their eyes on the prize.
They've been steadfast in their goals, sure. Getting the power, wielding the power, abusing the power...
I'm talking about not looking at realistic long term effects of policies. Seriously long term. They look at profit now vs. breathable air/drinkable water in the future. That sort of thing. And I'm not saying Democrats don't ever do that. This administration just seems to have that approach to everything. Plus the whole 'we create our own reality' thing.
edit: There is a good reason why I never joined the debate team in high school. I'm all logical and reasoned in my head. Not sure why that doesn't seem to translate into words.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Mistah Conrad, he dead?Well he left Lord Jim and took the damn Heart of Darkness. I am pissed. I had a yen to reread it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think I may try to leave early today. It's slow here, and I just jerked awake for the second time in about 5 minutes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just jerked awake for the second time in about 5 minutes.
That's waking up at least one time to many.
I overheard a strange piece of conversation in the coffee room today:
It's like in the old times. You know, the old times, a long time ago when they used to have wars? It's like that.
I can't begin to guess.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I am not armed or poor or conservative. I do, however, live in a Red State and drink tea.
Not a Red State! Though I can see how that might be harder to see on your end of it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Go home Perkins! Get rest.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Not a Red State!
Brenda is so correct. Wisconsin voted Blue, if only because "Democrat" and "Republican" have a similar number of letters, give or take a letter or so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's like in the old times. You know, the old times, a long time ago when they used to have wars? It's like that.
The times when Dwarves and Elves still walked Middle Earth? Or the times of Germans in pointy hats?
