Apparently I'm in a recap video for a race from this year. You can see me walking in slow motion towards the pit with a team i wasn't part of, I just happened to be walking the same direction as them at the same time.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to fuck the generic town mom woman in apron model in mega man legends. Now, in 2026, thanks to the power of VR, I still can’t, and I’m running out of time.
Its that plump baddie behind the shop counter you know who she is babydoll.

I worry that if I continue to write evil women into my stories people will think I have some sort of sexual inclination and that it is my author's-barely-contained-fetish, but my barely contained fetish isn't evil women, it's the feeling of ones paranoia turning out to be correct.

I'm like 75% of the way through a first draft and then had the stupid idea to restructure the entire story and make it a mystery instead of a story about being shot. This is so much harder.

Starting a rewrite of Hard Times. Unsure if I should expand this story or leave it alone. There is something really pure about it, all of the concepts are very tight and sharp, but it feels very much like a story about a war for one's soul and that's a thing I keep going back to.

I wrote a story about love, the kind of love that makes you question if there is perhaps a remote monastic order for lesbians. It is sort of a true story and you can read the rest of it on either of these beautiful websites. schizmet.substack.com/p/amys-prison medium.com/@schizmet/am...
A crude drawing of a house with two large eyes, two legs, and one arm clutching a small person in its hand. There is a sun scribbled next to it and a smoke plume coming from its chimney shaped like a heart. The title at the top reads. "AMY'S PRISON," and the text at the bottom reads "@schizmet" and "CASSIDY G." 	 Love is real. I'd seen it all my life: in the movies, on the radio, how my parents would make up after a fight. One time I saw love getting head behind the McDonald's in Tukwila and it made eye contact with me. Some people go their whole lives without ever recognizing love, they grow old and die lonely. A chosen few are found by love, blind and shaking, wet with the fear of others, wet with their own dreams.
	Amy and I had been dating a couple months when she asked me to come over to her place. I'd been over there every other day since we'd met, that wasn't out of the usual, but what threw me off was her backyard. I never thought about it before, we always just went inside and fooled around, so I had to ask if she'd always had the big cage.
	Amy sat down on the steps of her porch. “You hate it.”
	“No. No,” I said. “I love it. It's just not what I expected.” I have a healthy fear of big cages. It was something I only told my closest friends, but it very rarely comes up outside of zoos.
	She rested her forehead on her knees. “You don't love it.” She was crestfallen. I had let one bad experience, something that happened fifteen years ago, color an entire person, a whole relationship.
	“No, I do. I do love it.” I sat next to her on the porch. “I love the big cage. On the bus ride over I was hoping you'd have a big cage in the backyard. We used to have one when I was a kid. Big cages are my favorite kind.”
	She glanced up at me. “...really?” Her eyes were huge. Freakishly so, but I loved her. I loved her and her huge, freakish eyes.
	“Absolutely.”
	She stood up and walked over to the cage, opening the door. “Okay,” she said. “Get in.” She wanted me to prove it to her. My love for her was now tied up in my love for the big cage. At that point there was nothing I wanted less than to see her sad, so I proved it – I proved my love for her.
	Amy looked through the bars at me, her eyes empty. She might have even looked through me and at the bars behind me. Or maybe past thos…	The sun was going down now. I looked up as a plane buzzed overhead, then another. Amy was sat on the porch watching me. I don't know how much time had passed, but eventually she spoke. She said, “Dana, baby.”
	“Yes, Amy?”
	“Dana, baby. I love you so much.”
	“I love you too, darlin.”
	 She stood up. “I'll bring you something to eat in the morning, okay?”
	“Amy,” I said, “why are you doing this?”
	She started back towards the house. “I already told you.”
	“Told me what, Amy?”
	She looked back. “That I love you.” And with that she went inside and shut the door.
	There you have it. Love is real. I started to go through everything that had led me to that moment. The bus ride over, our first date, that thing at McDonald's – What could I have done differently? Probably nothing. How could anyone see this coming? I don't know. They probably couldn't.
	The sun had sank completely and I could see lights blinking on and off in the night sky. There was no use in analyzing, I knew I needed to get out. The cage wasn't mounted to anything, it was just rested on the lawn. I bent down and grasped the bars, lifting carefully as to not let it topple over too hard lest it alert Amy to my leaving. I walked as quickly as I could out towards the street and hopped the first bus I saw back north towards Aurora.
* * *
	It was around midnight when I got home. Corey was laid up on the couch with some western playing on the TV. He sat upright and threw an arm over the back of the couch to look at me. “Ayy, how’d it go?”
	I put a hand on the wall and started to kick off my sneakers. “Well. She put me in a cage, and then she told me, ‘I love you,’ and went back in the house.”
	“And then what?”
	“I fucked off.”
	“Huh,” Corey said. “It wasn’t like a sex thing?”
	I walked to the kitchen and sat down at the table. “No? I don’t think so? Everything was so normal for like two months. She was normal.”
	Corey got on his knees and rested his elbows on the back of the couch. “First off,” he called out, “no…	He stood and started for the kitchen. “Do you hear yourself?”
	“Yes!” I said. “I know! It’s crazy! But I thought she was the one.”
	He sat down on the kitchen table and put a hand on my shoulder. “You thought she was the one? This woman that ate all my motherfuckin cereal when you brought her over.”
	“Yeah.”
	“Drank all my orange juice.”
	“Yes.”
	He jerked his hand off of me with a wave. “Get the fuck outta here.”
	I sat with my elbows braced against my legs, my hands pulling my hair back. “What if I just ruined my whole relationship, man?”
	Corey leaned down. “How?”
	“Like, what if she was doing a bit?”
	“A bit? What was the bit?” He hopped off the table. “Didn’t your mom used to put you in a cage when you was a kid?”
	“I never told her about that.”
	“Dana,” he said.
	I looked up at him. “She told me she loves me.”
	“Dana, beautiful.” He looked sorry for me. “You can’t go back.”
	For weeks the cage was all I thought about but I knew I had to let it go. A couple of months passed and eventually my friends told me to get back out there. Don't let an old relationship define a new one. Move on. So I did. I matched on a dating app with a woman named Rachel and we ended up going to a show the same night. Her eyes were big, but not like Amy's eyes. They were big in a different way, plus her hair was a different color. It was longer, too.
	She invited me back to her place – a little rental she had just moved into – and I hate to say it but I think I fell in love with her that night. After a few weeks I even told her as much. She said it back, and all was well. Great, actually. She texted me not long later saying she wanted me to come stay the night so I headed over that evening.
	When I got there the sun was beginning to set and Rachel was already on the porch. She ran over, throwing her arms around my waist and said, "Dana! I have something for you!” She reached into my back pocket and took my phone out.
	“Is it... my phone?”
	“No!” she said smiling, and sat it down on th…

I keep running into people who recontextualize anything uncomfortable. There are no stakes and nothing matters. In the new world you can never have a negative experience. I don't mean to judge it, it just feels so foreign to my own personal sense of reality.

Needles and ashtrays pepper the sandpaper carpet
Of the little motel outside Bethlehem
She pulls out the knots in her hair with her hands
And shivers across the floor towards him
The sun bleeds through the bent yellowed blinds
Blankets pinned up to edge out a little more night
If prayers weighed an ounce and costed as much
Everything outside of Bethlehem would be alright
But that's how they'll find you in a couple days time
I can almost picture the setting sun scene
And I'm killing my body all just the same
So sweet dreams, Daniel, I love you, sweet dreams
