nothing but words

I am a wanted man.

They said that it would be alright the day after the next, but I read their cheap lie pretty quickly. You can't fool me; I have eyes on the back of my head and ears under my pits. An extra limb appendage extends from my chest whenever I so wish; And, I have a third eye. It's just invisible, and it renders things in front of me invisible as well.

I worry about you sometimes.

How are you doing? Have you eaten well? How are your parents? Good? Glad to hear they're getting better. What's going on in your life? Do I really care? Oh so they're already in college now? Wow, time goes by fast. Remember when we were young and we thought we'd never be 16? No? You don't remember? Well, we're already 21.

Where did you go?

How does it feel living in the basement... it must be a bit cold, I imagine. I lived in the attic once, it got damn cold all the time in winter. I gave all the extra blankets away though, so I just kind of suffered silently. Story of my life, huh? I heard the neighbor's son cough in the cold. I hope he isn't sick. Did you just hear the sirens? I think they're coming to this place. Hurry, clean up. Oh good, they passed. The father must be quite worried; too bad I already gave them all the blankets, huh? Those were some freezing nights though. I used to put my clothes next to the windowsill to trap the heat inside. It didn't help much. The northern lights are quite deadly at 2 am, I hear.
