I had killed our careful relationship by driving my tongue through its heart and pushing it off a cliff.

She really did like me, the idiot.

Another dream. Another long-distance call on my phantom party line. No wonder i had steadfastly refused to have dreams for most of my life. So stupid; such pointless, obvious symbols. Totally uncontrollable anxiety soup, hateful, blatant nonsense.

The mind picks some very bad times to take a walk doesn't it?

That's why I liked him, I think. Another guy pretending to be human, just like me.

When faced with people who have very limited conversational skills and no apparent desire to cultivate any it's always easier to simply go along.

Nothing in life is fair. Fair is a dirty word and I'll thank you not to use that language around me.
