| Ralphael in the morning... "Fifteen million reasons", continues the dream- Master of illusion, evade reality, bite him on the ass. Wondering over the possible end of the paragraph, He cheats the reader and leaps to the 'fin', if only to save yet another ink cartridge. Brass fittings: falling lazily to the floor, the carpenter bemoaning another weapon of distruction/distraction erases the evidence of his existence, with a handiwipe and a smile, then reloads. An arsenic solution invade her coffeehouse conversation, liquidates dates and complications. Little girl screams quiet, down, depressed, as the local constabulary 'wheels', her blue/black prowler around the corner. Breakfast of champions. In the morning her head will still screw on, but the threads will be worn. She's had trouble with overeager fingers in the past. Clumsy hands working over her software, neverminding the consequences, her hardwired me-meow-memory, passes to her subset conscience. On the way out, there is no sign "Hope you enjoyed the stay." Id. Or "Come back soon." Super-ego is driving without mirrors and the road is dark. |
