parked

[pseudonymjones]

It's a rainy midday and Matthew sits in his car in an empty parking lot, reading old journal entries on his phone.

"I was such a petulant, entitled shit," he says.

"Mmm," says Counterpoint, "You've gotten a little better."

The past is a numb limb, attached but alien and remote. Matthew prods it and feels nothing. He considers amputation.

Haha, hey Mink! I know better than to pretend this is going to last but hey I'm unemployed and I've got words to spare.

Eep, a lot of people I know (myself included) have experienced/are experiencing job issues in 2014!

Yeah, it's a rough time! I was reading your latest entry and I can relate to a lot of what you've been going through.

Hang in there! (And other meaningless exclamations of encouragement!) I think we're both pretty cool, so things are supposed to work out for us in the end.
