“Listen, before you say anything, I
know it's not my best work, but... actually, maybe it is, maybe it's
sadly the best I can do. Do you ever get the feeling that we're all

“...”
“Pretending that we know what we're

“...”
“No, everybody! Every single person
in the world. Following rules as if they aren't shared delusions.”
“...”
“No, I'm fine, it's okay. I'm just
tired. I'm just questioning everything. Like, why do I own such a
small television? Why are animals getting so big? Why is my erotic
fiction falling so flat lately?”
“...”
“That's kind of you to say. Give me a
couple days for a rewrite. I can do better.”
“...”
“Thank you. Okay, I have to go. I
have to drop the shade and jerk one out.”
