☂ 010; forever was too good to be true

[is_an_island]

So it seems that everybody has returned. More or less, I mean. It's over, isn't it? I mean... Is everybody all right?

... But now that it's over, it'll be nice to get some decent sleep. Been tired lately, all that--but I'm sure tomorrow is a better day.

England...

America.

So it pretty much looks like it's over, I guess! That's good.

[is_an_island]

Not that you'd know.

[touchmysquirrel]

Jesus, who stuck a pin in your party balloon?

[is_an_island]

Wh... What do you mean by that?

[touchmysquirrel]

You sound deflated.

[is_an_island]

I sound perfectly inflated.

Sleep is gooood!

[is_an_island]

It'll be nice to finally take a nice nap, won't you say?

Too much stress lately, all that.

[timeforjam]

Go sleep.

[is_an_island]

I plan to, for a very long time, and without any interruptions.

... You've been sleeping well?

[dynamic_may_lee]

It's not over. Just this battle. We're still at war.

[is_an_island]

W-well, yes.

But it was a very hard-fought battle.

[dynamic_may_lee]

And... heh... it doesn't feel like we won, does it?

[is_an_island]

Feels more like a loss, any way I look at it.

... Are you all right?

[puffinparadise]

You were worried?

[is_an_island]

I'm glad to see you're back.

Everything all right?

[puffinparadise]

Yes... I guess.

I woke up a couple of days ago with a paper bag that had a face...drawn on it. I'm not even sure what it was for.

[is_an_island]

... A paper bag.

It... Was... Was it on your face?
