"i can't play my guitar. that's my food, right there. my guitar" he pointed to a fucked-up case on the ground next to him. "i'm sorry, i-" "anything. please. i'm bleeding. somebody gotta get me to a hospital. please." he reached out to her, desperate. she turned away. "i'm sorry." she started walking briskly down the street. "Please. I'm bleeding" he said after her. i was breathing very heavily because what i wanted to say wouldn't come out i end up on the edges clinging "please help me, i'm bleeding." "i have a thing for evils so ancient that they are unknowable" "the closer you look at someone the more the bad and the good become pronounced, the imperfections come out, it all becomes "learn to take care of " "i'm bleeding" "nothing" "it's nothing" "i'm bleeding" "nothing" "it's nothing" "i'm bleeding" "it's what your family does, get quiet and withdrawal, i know you." "it's nothing" "i'm bleeding" "i don't want to shake things up or anything, but i" "it's nothing" "please help me" "i'm bleeding" "it's nothing" "it's what you people do, you get quiet and withdrawal from the conversation. i've seen this before." "it's nothing" "you're shitting me, right?" "i'm bleeding" "it's nothing" "i'm going to have to move out if this keeps up" "i don't want to shake things up or anything,but-" "please help me" "i'm sorry." "it's nothing" "it's what your family does," "i'm sorry." "i don't want to shake things up or anything, but-" "i'm bleeding" "i have a thing for ancient, unknowable evils" "please help me" "i'm sorry" "it's what your family does," "it's difficult" "it's what your family does" "i'm sorry" "take care of yourself, okay?"
