So yeah. Technical difficulties ahoy.

Photoshop ate this page. Twice.

My tablet decided to stop working.

Stuff. Pleasedo: Accept this page with my apologies.

*Heartbeat noises here*
"I really don't understand people like you."
"Before even waking, I know I'm not alone."
"Seriously, man."

-

"They feed you,"
"Maybe it was his heartbeat."
"Right?"
"Fluttery, like a bird's."
"Three squares. Or, well, at least one."

-

"Or the hands."
"You get to kill people. Legally. Isn't that a plus?"

-

"I mean, it's what you do."
"Or maybe, just maybe, it was because he would not shut up."
"You're old. You've been doing this since before just about anyone was even born. Why flip out now?"
