"So what's she like? Other than inferior?" he asked, knowing it would make me feel impossibly contra sub human.
You know we haven't spoken in... oh I don't know how long. Last time was when I was going to see Kaell at Manic. I didn't even want to say Merry Christmas. Our cold silence is atrophy-ing anything that ever existed in our collective spheres. I don't mind. I finally understand that my happiness is not tied up in your unhappiness. Hmmm - being petty will be missed. There's a really nice kind of smugness in it. I said it was strange, how we are strangers now, but how else could anything like this ever work? It couldn't, could it? Will I see you in the credits one day? I have to actively think about thinking about you. Will you fade? Be a distant half obscured memory at the end of my life? Will you register - in my mind - as I lay on my deathbed?
This human's existence is no longer necessary for the furthering of my goals. Struck off the chart, dropped off the line, discarded like a paltry pawn in a fucked up chess game.
And so I march to Harper Lewis, having regained my stride, the cascade of drums and bass swirling around me as my coat is flapping - hair tangling in the wind. A cinematic type of life. Sarcastically thinking "my sweet Clementine".
