Today, for a brief second, I thought of a life without Roger. It was much like my current life, except that this forum was a bit nicer.

They said there was a time when we were all young and beautiful naturally, but now we have to work for it, and we have to pay for it. The glowing box made us understand that we were losing our youth, and perhaps never had any real beauty to begin with, but then it told us that we could go to the Doctors and have it restored. One of us started first, of course; one of us noticed her youth slipping away and went and had just a little age cut out, just a little, to begin. And we all agreed that she looked so much better.

So one by one we all followed suit because it was the right thing to do; snicker-snack like hair at a barber shop bits of age were snipped off and cast into the biohazard bins; goodbye crow's feet and eyebags and wattle. And we all agree that we look so much better. The spiders agree, too, and the glowing box tells us so all the time. Every once in a while I have a nightmare where I look at us and realize that we've made ourselves into scarred, ludicrous monsters, mockeries of youth, but then the spiders tell me that it's only a dream and that I just need to look at the glowing box and go back to sleep, back to sleep, back to sleep.

TGRR. Your second post, with the pills and the pouches, is fucking insanely good. I mean that literally: Insanely. Good.

Thanks.  I consider it either the best thing I've ever written, or the worst.

Cactus is evil.  Of this there is no doubt.  But it is a lesser evil, than to be left all alone in The City.  My friends are all gone except the perverts.

There was a day when they taught me to look for the sun, and instead I found a moon and turned all inward and shit.  Something jim-jammered me in my ear and hey! presto! I was no longer the little girl with a smile.  I thought it was time, that kept on slippin, slippin...slippin--into the future!  But no.  It was instead the whir-whir of something I'd forgotten and then remembered painfully.  Like a splinter you don't remember getting but know you gotta get out.  And your teeth don't work, but you cringe at using that damned needle your mom stuck in the pin cushion after sewing a button.

The pitiful thing is that the songs have no meaning except what you remember about them, and the food only tastes like a sliver of what you think it should.  Smells are no longer sharp, and words are so bloated they're exploding into the sky, inking out the stars with their blackness, so very dark, forgetting you're so small and here and just waiting for something significant.

I don't remember anymore what I did that was so special, but I know I did it.  Somehow I've forgotten but I have the feeling left, and that feeling makes me touch myself where they say it's not best but THE best, and I still don't remember anyway.  I like to run, but I don't know where I am going most of the time, though I can give you directions to anywhere you want.

Sometimes, I forget what my name really is, and I forget how long I've been married, and what year it is.  No one knows where I came from, what I look like or what color of eyes are in my face.  But they know what my breath smells like, and they know the colors of the ribbons in my hair.  I'm done with wishing for tomorrow, because when it comes, it never delivers like the newspaper--on the lawn, in the dark, in the wet, and crinkly as fuck when you finally get it out of the damned grass.

I saw Roger's spider once, in fact, and he offered me a cup of joe.  Turned out it had fleas, but they smiled kindly as I sipped, and I was forgiven for being alive.  For that forgiveness, I have paid dearly, and something within says I will pay for the rest of my living days.

Jenne

Rog, you asked me if this was the best or the worst--I say it's best...but everything else you've written doesn't diminish in retrospect.  Just becomes that much better.  :D

Rough Draft. And only 6 pages. Just need people to telll me if I'm taking this is the right direction

Most of the pages are pretty barren, that is except for pages 3 & 4 which allow me self-:1fap:-ize are the most graphically pleasing.
If you want to split this into a seperate thread in multimedia menace.

Also Nigel and Jenne :mittens:

I like it. I really, really like it. I'd personally get rid of anything color in it though; the starkness of the black and white fits the tone beautifully.

I like it.
So much in fact that if I get a new damn ink cartridge for my printer I'd like to make it into a little table book.
In a weird way.

I like the graphics in it too.
