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.

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

Okay, you know what? Weekend starts now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to go to the library, do a shitload of laundry, bring some stuff to the drycleaner, possibly Target, and also get a massage.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This weekend I am: painting, painting some more, maybe a little sanding, a little priming, probably buying some more paint and doing a little more painting.

My landlord wants to show our current living space on Sunday. It's stressing me out, even though logically I'm pretty sure I don't have to care.

you don't really have to care, you have a house. but maybe you don't want strangers judging you

That's it in a nutshell, beth. After so many years of needing to be on the landlord's good side, it's hard to turn that impulse off.

mac wants to know what will happen if I tell "everyone" that he is naked and was dancing in the living room.

his guess are "they will come and see him" or "they will laugh and laugh"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Has he considered the possibility of both?
