Lander's story
living in this town was never an easy thing. god knows we hardly made it through childhood... but we did, just the same. we grew up in the same social groups, with the same interests, did all the same things. all in all we were two differend minds within twin bodies. I guess twin isn't the right word. We were among an ocean of people with our same shape. Luckily we were blessed enough to learn to swim at an early age. You learned a little while after I did, but it wasn't long enough for you to fail to catch up. We swam through blood and we swam through bones, but it wasn't until we got to the flesh that we realized what we were. It was like driving by a car wreck. You can see the seats and the engine lying in the road, but it isn't until you get up to that crushed up car that you think about how fragile it is. Maybe that's the underlying reason that I loved that Saab so much. It would have taken on hell if I'd asked it to. If only we hadn't adopted that bald eagle in the 5th grade. I mean what fuckin assholes decided to vote on spending our class money on that rather than a pizza party? Who knows... but they probably get wasted every night at their state university and wake up the next day with eight extra pounds under their skin. So we forget about every last bit of that, and what do we have left? You and I? We must have something. If nothing else, this wind feels like Fall on my neck. It won't be long before that feeling is real.
