THE STARS

I drank a lot of water, had a healthy snack and that's how I look the way I do today. why does it keep going on and on and on. it just repeats itself for years and years.

neverending loop. why did it have to be that? astronomy. the stars.

I drank a lot of water.

and I remember a night sleeping in the forest protected by the older ones and as they stared into the darkness the half heard whisper

"man is attracted to fire and large bodies of water"...

I could be happy for the rest of my life with a cinnamon girl is what the radio reminds me of. and I drank a lot of water, I had a healthy snack, and that's how I look the way I do today.

i just don't want someone boring. well your definition of boring is someone with lots of problems. too misunderstood to reply. not angry, just tired. how many of them did I stay with; those problem-ridden people. how many did I stay with? did you stop and think about that for a moment?

screams as she slams the phone on the metal hook; the whole block heard her. man walks over and gives her a handful of quarters. I can buy bread for my babies now.

keep it to yourself. everybody wants a special private, secret place. I don't care what you say. the reports explained that everybody wants one. you are not unique enough to be the exception. you say you want to share it, but everyone wants a special private place in their heart that nobody is allowed to see. like I said; all in the reports.

walks to the cabinet near the floor.

opens it to find the baby tortoise inside the plastic bag. oh my goodness how did I forget about you he thinks. has it been years? or months? oh my goodness you must be so thirsty by now. nightmares.

walks to faucet and gives the creature drink. how long was he in there. how good it is to see him alive and well. at least I still have you! <<shocked at own joy

I told them to turn back for a minute. they said no; there were aliens but I said go back anyway they were stupid for saying that. and when we went back there really were aliens there. just landed. I felt like such an idiot but I didn't apologize. maybe they killed two of our group instantly. it was very fast. in ten or twelve minutes half the park was either dead or converted. huge outcroppings of crystal jutted forth from the ground everywhere. saw old friends screaming in agony. saw old friends converted to aliens and death. I saw a bus leaving with as many survivors as could find. no use in saving anyone or fighting back. no hope. just get the last few out. I didn't deserve to live, but I got on the bus anyway.

all for that stupid waterslide. I never said I was sorry.
