The New Knife Game (Klance)
"There is an old tradition, a game we all can play
You start by getting liquored up and sharpening your blade
You take a shot of whiskey, you grab your knife and pray
And spread apart your fingers, and this is what you say"
Keith turns around on a corner, half listening to Lance’s voice in the distance.
"'Oh, I have all my fingers, the knife goes chop, chop, chop
If I miss the spaces in between, my fingers will come off
And if I hit my fingers, the blood will soon come out
But all the same, I play this game 'cause that's what it's all about'"
A rather creepy song, if you asked Keith. He wasn't sure, but he thought he had heard it somewhere before.
"No, you can't use a pencil, you cannot use a pen
The only way is with a knife when danger is your friend
And some may call it stupid, some may call it dumb
But all the same, we play this game because it's so damn fun"
What even was that incessant tactactac sound?
"Oh, I have all my fingers, the knife goes chop, chop, chop
If I miss the spaces in between, my fingers will come off
And if I hit my fingers, the blood will soon come out
But all the same, I play this game 'cause that's what it's all about"
There was Lance, in the sort-of-living-room they used at the Castle. He was doing something in the common table, but Keith couldn't see very well what it was...
"Oh, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, I'm picking up the speed
And if I hit my fingers, then my hand will start to bleed"
Was that a fUCking knIFe?!
—
Keith screamed his lungs out, and now Lance has a scar all around the base of his ring finger.

consider the sperm whale and the squid. an ancient rivalry that dates back millions of years. we know the whales eat the squids. we know the squids do not make it easy for them. we know this because of the scars the whales carry, scars on the outside of their body, and on the inside as well. how badly must you want something to endure wounds inside your mouth? inside your gut?
consider the whale, who is harmed by what sustains her. consider the squid, whose flesh is soft and delicious but refuses to go down easy.
