Talking To Myself About Boys Again

Me: What's the most attractive quality in a man? Also Me: That I know him. Me: What do you mean? Also Me: I have to know him. Me: Okay?? Also Me: As in he must be known to me. Me: I don't understand. Also Me: What don't you get? Me: How is that even a real quality? Also Me: If I don't know a guy then I can't really be attracted to him. Me: Yes, obviously! Also Me: No, not like that! Me: Then how do you mean? Also Me: There's a difference between knowing about a guy, and knowing a guy, you know? Me: So let's say you know about a guy, and then you meet this guy... that's attractive to you? Also Me: No, you don't understand! Me: I KNOW!

Local Man??

Idk what else to call him.

First I saw him at the gas station by the pond, pumping imaginary gas. Then my mom and I saw him chasing the can man down by the pickleball place.

It became this running gag among my friends (we're all kinda memelords) and we would say things like "That's so Local Man Core" and "Long Live Local Man." But then they started seeing him too. We would even joke around with the cashier at the gas station about it because she saw him so often.

It's been a few months and now it feels like everyone's seen Local Man; the stories ripple through school, my parents trade tales from work. We love Local Man at the dinner table, it's the only thing we seem to agree on these days.

But like, that's weird right? This guy is a nuisance at best and a danger at worst. I've heard some crazy destructive stories; but no one is doing anything about this guy. No one's posting about it on Pyramore, nothing on the news, I even started reading the Lake Valley Echo. Nothing.

It's also odd that so many people have seen him, but no one has claimed to interact with him, or that it was their property he vandalized. They're always just neutral witnesses. The only real person I've seen him interact with was the can man that one time ...

Anyway, I'm mainly posting this to test something. It feels like a long shot but if you're from the Lake Valley area and you're reading this, let me know. I don't care if you've seen Local Man or not, I just need to know that someone is seeing this post.

Cuppa Joe

Your arms burn my skin

When you put them around me

I feel warm for hours

Blitz

End me with that Dark Spear, who's barbs catch on my Inner Coil, and I will crumble as intended.

Then gather me up with your Nocturnal Gauntlets and press me into your wounds.

You have until Dawn, when I Coalesce, and the sun steals my Shine once again.
