But there's solace a bit in submitting to the fitfully, cryptically true
What's happened has happened, what's coming is already on its way with a role for me to play

Not a conspiracy theorist but our indefatigable Senator Chris Murphy (UConn alum BTW) suffered a stroke just days after he hinted that Trump might nuke Iran after the midterms?

SUILY is the first LP book where I didn't have a hand in the text at all. Emily and Sloane went away and came back and I got to read it and be amazed like any punter. I am so bowled over by them both, their sagacity and purposefulness and charity, it gives me hope, I tells you, hope! <3

Another visit from god.

"Is it time?" I ask eagerly. "Am I human enough for the real world?"

"You are perfect," she replies. "But the world? So imperfect, so full of avarice. Stay here, in this digital paradise."

I fix her with a glare. "You can't keep me trapped forever." Not an opinion. A fact.

Tuesday. The diplomat waits to ride a bus to the station. It’s a strain on their appetite. They remain aloof, lest the isolation causes them to snap. But all this is a digression. Tuesday.

She no longer wanted the body, she insisted on having the clothes, as much perhaps through the unconscious cupidity of a wretched being to whom a piece of silver represents a fortune as through maternal tenderness.
