Oh what a surprise,

To see you after so long!

He drooled when he played piano. He would get so wrapped up in playing that his mouth would hang open. He knew this happened and made no effort to stop it. He was self-consciously proud of it, thinking it was a kind of utter sublimation into the music, a sign of musical genius.

Thirteen now

For just two days

I work for my pay

I save for my wealth

I hang with my squad

What about you? You never play with her either.

But I’m still there, making lunch before work, picking her up from daycare.

I’m there too, working, paying for things.

Well she’s clearly feeling lonely and neglected.

I know, but I’m doing my best.

I know me too.

Wait, is she still hiding?

Oh God we forgot her again.

I’ll go hide, I think you we...
