The first one was paying me so much attention that it was a little yandere stalkery but I was enjoying myself a lot and her regardless; we kissed and played a kind of horseshoes I’d never seen before that moment but no one in that family liked her because they said they could smell the cigarettes on her and I didn’t even know she smoked too.

In the interlude the old lady was up on the roof next door complaining that my dear brother had ditched her and gone to a bar to get away from her shit for a few minutes and I sympathized, but with him.

Then all the second one had to do was casually mention that she was now living in Chino Valley and that turned my head hard for reasons I don’t quite understand, and I told her about Prescott in the old days and it was good.

When I woke for the second time on the first morning it was ten and that was alright, because circumstances.

Shut windows, medicate cat, make coffee, meditate; that’s how the ritual begins.
