I’m not really sure why, but I was driving somewhere.
I had this feeling that something important had happened, although I can’t remember. I’m driving on long winding roads. Country roads. I drove for awhile, then, nearing a bend, I see trees. There are lots of trees, it’s a forest. Somehow I know that there is [...]
I had some money in my pocket for the first time in a while, $175. Wow.
I hadn’t eaten all day and I wanted something to trigger a mechanism in my brain that would soothe me, make me feel that every thing was going to be ok, take me back to a state of child like [...]

I’m in this wasteland again.
The sky is an eerie orange brown. If there is such a thing as glow-in-the-dark brown, that is what color the sky is. The whole city is in shambles as if in a bad knock-off of a John Carpenter movie. The buildings are dilapidated and covered in a filthy, rough patina. [...]
