There are no stupid questions, except for sometimes. Some of the things I ask are met with a raised eyebrow and a small sigh. “You should’ve asked this already” yeah but I didn’t know to ask it before now. “What have you been doing?” What I thought was correct, obviously I’m mistaken. “Why did it take you this long to realize you were doing it wrong?” Because for a long time I thought I was doing it right. What you fail to realize David is that I’m doing my best and I don’t know what I don’t know

Just completed the gauntlet of good mornings. Anybody need their bugs crushed?

Jack of all trades, master of em all. I’m perfect Pete baby, I’ll throw the first stone every time

[locallyrespected]

What are you doing later? Wanna find some stuff to throw or dirt to kick or materials to set on fire?

It’s almost good. Everything’s fine except for the fact that there’s no swag to it. You need to add a little salt to the meat, plus let it sit. Don’t touch it as much

I’m actually not allowed to have fun anymore. They won’t let me. Not again, not after last time.

It was—she told me—as if, on the night of a full moon over the sea, the intense black mass of a storm advanced across the sky, swallowing every light, eroding the circumference of the moon’s circle, and disfiguring the shining disk, reducing it to its true nature of rough insensate material. Lila imagined, she saw, she felt—as if it were true—her brother break.

Rino, before her eyes, lost the features he had had as long as she could remember, the features of the generous, candid boy, the pleasing features of the reliable young man, the beloved outline of one who, as far back as she had memory, had amused, helped, protected her.

There, amid the violent explosions, in the cold, in the smoke that burned the nostrils and the strong odor of sulfur, something violated the organic structure of her brother, exercising over him a pressure so strong that it broke down his outlines, and the matter expanded like a magma, showing her what he was truly made of.

Every second of that night of celebration horrified her, she had the impression that, as Rino moved, as he expanded around himself, every margin collapsed and her own margins, too, became softer and more yielding. She struggled to maintain control, and succeeded: on the outside her anguish hardly showed.
