But it's easy to get scared for your soul. Scared something is coming to get you. Especially at that age. You don't have a frame of reference yet. Everything that happens could be something that people do.

Then the day came when I had to tell you a lie. It was to protect you- and that's another lie.

Boring, no? But then one is only left to ponder if everyone else – the ones who aren’t working – are feeling the same thing. Are they excited about their time? The murmuring wires and whispering cogs—are those all things they like?

I carry the responsibility of always fearing a hidden utter sadness at the core of every person I meet. I care so much about everybody. I hope everyone is okay. I hope everyone is happy. I sometimes feel certain no one is okay, or no one is happy.

There's some salmon left, so...salmon and... Then boil some asparagus...and fix some omelette real quick... Usually, we just use all the leftovers from dinner, see... ...since there's two helpings for Himemiya and me... What a mess. What'll I do? I can't think of anything.

I miss when we shared one beautiful horrific body. You and me and the sand, open blue skys and open blue sand. Pockets filled with shells and dirt. As the teeth washed ashore, we shoved them in our coat pocket. Our shared pocket, you and I, in unison.

The days I don't want to kill myself are extraordinary. Deep bass. All the people in the streets waiting for their high fives and leaping, I mean *leaping*, when they see me. I am the sun-filled god of love. Or at least an optimistic under-secretary.

I don't think sad and painful things are pointless. If that's fate, then they must happen for a reason. I will accept it and become stronger.

It takes all of my restraint, not climbing in your cranium to see the way the furniture's arranged. Scratching at the door, they're gonna call security so I can't creep around here anymore.

I was aware of other things floating in the deep places of my memory, old events, dark and unpleasant and half-forgotten, that I had no wish to remember. A whole curdled mass of memories. Myself naked on other days, with other people. Boyhood games, some of them not so innocent.

(Thanks for the message. You have satisfied my hunger greatly. I'm sorry I could never do the same for you. Please accept this in exchange.) You turn the note over, on the back there seems to be a little drawing. (LOVEMAIL JUST FOR YOU.)

You know, I actually liked it when the captain talked about how heaven was on merit. As long as you do good things, maybe you can be good... Then they said we don't believe that anymore and it's what's in your heart that matters. Just when I think I got it right, they changed it.

- Know what I think? - Don't wanna hear it. - You like being there to rescue me. You like it when I'm a mess, because it makes you feel good about yourself. Guess what? I never asked for that. - You ask all the time. You have never not been asking me to rescue you.

Is he not approved in the height a villain, that hath slandered, scorned, dishonored my kinswoman? What, bear her in hand until they come to take hands and then, with public accusation, unmitigated rancor— O God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the marketplace.

You think for a short moment, before remembering. You’re supposed to be relaxing him. It’s what you’re being paid for. “I… suppose so, sure.” “You’ve done so much for me, and I’ll be thinking about it in a week from now, and maybe even a month, but will I remember it in a year?”

In his desire to free love from all that was carnal and sinful and transform it into an abstract emotion completely divorced from its biological base the knight was prepared to go to great lengths, choosing as his lady a woman he had never seen or joining the ranks of the lovers of the Virgin Mary.

I had shown him to himself, face to face, and he couldn’t bear the knowledge of what he had seen in his own eyes. All right, Ol, if you have to destroy me, then destroy me. That’s cool, because I love you, and so whatever you do to me is cool.

As if the last tear that dropped from your eye were fossilized into a pearl, I cherished the oyster that closed forever. Affixed to mine arm as if it were a tetanned jaw. That door forever closed, I see it in my dreams. You, too. So it was meant to be.

Kiki refused to broach the subject of romance with her in any serious capacity—the best way to stifle unwanted notions is to stamp them out completely, turn the spigot full closed, prevent even a sullen drip to eke an existence on the white porcelain of the washbasin.

I was 99 percent you and you abided the 1 percent that was me because you always want to feel like you're a nice guy but come on Graham face up to it, you are the dictator of your own tiny hole in the wall, everything under your domain is exactly the way you want it—like you.

Then we could go to California and dance on the waves. That would be amazing. I'm going to live forever but if I don't you'll know. And you'll hear me when I die. I don't care who you are or what you are, I'm going to speak to you before I'm gone and you are going to hear me.
