No Regrets

You ever noticed your mother's uncanny knack to predict your ill-fated and yes inauspicious future? The classic 'if you do that again you're going to be maimed and bleeding for life' clause. Burdensome. But one thing that is really kind of sad are the ones she never got right, either because she didn't believe it enough or because we never crossed the actual threshold of 'if you do that long enough it's going to stick like that. Well sometimes I wish that it had... or that I had persevered.



So the lesson here is tenacity

...people will recognize your face a lot quicker.

That Green Shirt Again

Where're you now little brother? I was just asking myself this question when the answer came to my mind. Rather like a strike of old scottish cabbage on the rye. Nowhere Gates. Nowhere. So does that mean you sit and make slosh your soup as the run gets cold and the air grows thin? No. Not unless you've got a fair amount of stuffing in those pantaloons of yours. You see... the fine line gets crossed every day. And the real point is not to know which side of it you're on at the end of said period, but... ...well which side you'd rather be on tomaro. Kind of like tomato. Cause the only change that's inevitable is the kind that kicks you in the teeth every other month. On wednesdays. Just learn to lean into it. At the very least your face does have the slight chance of swelling into a smile. And just when you think that's enough...

...well friend? Grab yourself a peach and sit down and eat it. Just you, a peach, and your favorite patch of sky. It'll change everything.

Just Run Faster

So let's get one thing straight, there are five bears behind that tree that want to steal your sugar and you are asking me to go back there and take three of them? Take them where? And if perchancy I could of myself get them to go, what then? Do I just sit down for a cup of tea with the creatures and say 'Howdy' for an hour or so...

Two?! Are you out of your gourd?! Whose mother's child are you anyway?!

Lung...

Got it. But still lets think about this a little more. Saying I could do it, what's that gonna help you any? You do understand they've got guns right?

So you're thinking that you can grab the one and throw it at the other? ...I guess that could work... How much can you lift?

You're jiving right? Oh Aunt Jamima... I've got a better idea. Buy a new one and go home.

So pretend it's the same!

Are you forgetting the odds here?! You can't round them down in numbers you know. It doesn't work like that.

Where the mer did you get that?

Dang. So then we'll...


...pure genius. ...I guess we go then, easy cheese.

...On three?

Leroy Jenkins!

Fugitive

They're on to me. I wasn't careful and now they're on to me. I should have known... should have known! I'm not sure if I'm safe anymore. I'll have to keep running but they may show up at any time. Well intentioned? Yes. But I made a splash today and they realized that I'm not who I say. The papers never lie. My file wasn't there.

It started so well. I had finished three operations with surgical precision only to arrogantly let intel on the fourth slip. Someone got suspicious and things didn't line up. They told me another office would process my order. They were waiting for me when I got there. I had to make a quick escape. Now I'm running. A year and a half. That was it. I was so close. Now it's falling apart around me. I don't know how I'll get back in. I'll have to play it good. Very good...

I'll keep myself low for a while and then... ...I'll have to snipe the last few. Hopefully that will give me enough time...
