So many stories are determined before they start.
In fact, it's become politically important to offend people, because we have to fight back against this notion that being offensive should be against the law or something, and that everyone supposedly deserves "respect" for their often dopy views.
I am in flight from my story every day, and it dogs me like a faithful stray.
My own apathy is bone chilling.
A boy is a dangerous animal.
It's an apathy so absolute that it's like a hole you might fall in.
