❝ i’ll fight you for it. ❞

❝ win or lose, and you will lose, it’s yours if you fight me. ❞

❝ can you feel the joy rising in your veins like the sap in the springtime ? ❞

❝ i wanted to be a part of your history. ❞

❝ it’s just anger ––– makes you feel like you can change the outcome. ❞

❝ [ … ] had the nerve to ask me what i wanted him to do with it. i told him leave it where it found it. ❞

❝ target would be more interesting than here. ❞

❝ if there isn’t some kinda life after death, i’m gonna be so fuckin’ pissed. ❞

❝ there is no closure from the dead. ❞

❝ i’m sorry for your loss, [ … ] , i really am. anyone tell you that yet ? anyone even hug you ? ❞

❝ what’s he doing here ? what’s the plan ? what’s the game plan, man ? ❞

❝ how auspicious, you must be special. ❞

❝ [ … ] is history. forgotten and … old. ❞

❝ we have reprogrammed reality. language is a virus. religion, an operating system, and prayers are just so much fucking spam. ❞

❝ the dominant fucking paradigm, [ … ] , that is the only important thing. ❞

❝ by the way, i was sorry to hear about your wife/husband. tough break. ❞

❝ so, i will ask again: what is it [ … ] is up to ? ❞

❝ you saying you don’t know ? … would you tell me even if you did ? ❞

“ KILLING BIG MONSTERS isn’t fun for you anymore? Scandalous, ” he said, a rare smile on his lips. “ You know I’ll follow you. Where are we doing? ”

“They aren’t big enough is the problem.”

A charming smirk made it’s way across Zahra’s features. Sarcasm was their language of choice, one that was easily understood by one another.

“I would say north, but I don’t feel like weathering the cold so soon. Maybe somewhere warm.”

“ i know that. ” mumbled quietly, almost shamefully. he checked the edges of his mouth for any sign of drool. how embarrassing. “ i was studying. ” apparently he lost interest. “ sorry, i was… i was up all night. guess i should have picked a more interesting read. ”

“Of course you knew that. Wow, I’m sorry.”

This is why she didn’t talk with people. She pointed out the obvious and most people called her stupid for mentioning it. Sometimes she felt they were right. She tucked the mess of curls in her face behind her ear before laying down one of the books she’d brought back to put away.

“Um, you can try this one. It’s not all too popular, but I think it’s good.”

he startles awake, book open in front of him and long since forgotten about. for a second he doesn’t realize where he is but the book reminds him. library. he was studying. shit.

“ huh? ” he clears his throat and wonders who’s speaking until glancing back. he catches sight of a puff of curly blonde hair and then a face. her words finally catch up to him. “ oh, uhm – ” he clears his throat. “ yes. ”

The library was quite the odd place to find someone sleeping. Most of the time people came and left without staying too long. She noted the book in front of him before looking back at him.

“Oh, sorry for bothering you then. But, um... the library isn’t for sleeping. Were you doing something before?”

The times when Julie was social with the masses was becoming more and more infrequent. Asher must have noticed her apprehension, because he put her on library duties. It wasn’t terrible though, not to many people asked for help, and when they did, a simple nudge towards using the computer’s system was enough to get them on their way.

However as she walked around picking up the books that needed to be put back, she saw someone sitting up against the bookshelf. She wondered for a moment if he had fallen asleep there. She put a hand on his shoulder and gave a little nudge.

“Excuse me. Are you sleeping?”
