Sometimes I Feel Weird

“What happens to my memories when I die?”“Chill, T.R., why you always talking about us dying?” Willie doesn’t like talking about death. Not on these bike rides. These adventures. Or “chores” if you’re a stiff rule-abiding adult. To them these momentous occasions are just another thing on another list. Efficiency and speed being the motive…

Talentless | employee three

I watch George and Sylvia venture up to the third floor with the lantern. They must be going to the closet where employee three, who never told anyone her name, hung herself. It’s one of the only places inside the worm those two could go to make out like they’re sixteen again. I was in…
