"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I was getting ready to put him outside, but now I think no. And I was going to take him with me to the little general store, but I think also no. He's going to go ballistic with me leaving into the vast dangerous world, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've never eaten cow brains (on purpose), but I'm still a potential mad cow disease carrier. I'd assumed all prion-based diseases had the same transmission risks. Just because it kills you from the brain, doesn't mean it's isolated there.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think it may be sweeping more areas than New England, yeah.

Chacha says I shouldn't have sex with a stranger--only in a committed relationship. I should discuss expectations before engaging in a threesome.

Jesus, google "norovirus outbreak" if you want to skeeve yourself out.
