I know I have to eat breakfast and get my butt on the tube in the next half hour, but all I really want to do is read Homestuck and play Mass Effect and have silly arguments with people on the XKCD forums, because if I go outside then the world from last Thursday will be irrevocably changed.
That means I won’t have to tell Miss A and Miss E I’m unemployed, but it also means I won’t be able to tell Miss E about my new job, or the new people I’m meeting, or ask how her favorite grandkids are doing, or marvel at the doll’s house rooms she spent decades carefully constructing and fitting out with plush furnishings and wall papers and matching chairs and mini tea sets.
When I’m done helping Miss A tidy her flat and amuse her chubby kitty, I know I’m going to start walking down the road to where Miss E’s flat sits empty. And I probably won’t remember until I get within sight of the building that she’s gone.
people,
death
