"I think I've been dead since '98."
And my response:
I think I’ve been dead since ’98.
Oh, that was also the year I was born, actually. Keep
forgetting that. The thing about dying and living at the same time is that it’s
often hard to keep things straight, so I write most things in a little
leather-bound notebook I keep on my person. Appropriately, it has “Things”
embossed on the front. If you don’t mind, I’ll write your name in here—not that
I’m calling you a “thing”, per see (humans get so touchy about labels. That
observation, by the way, is Thing #24), but you’ll understand that it’s just to
be concise. Alright? Good.

I am really curious about this book and the person who writes Things in it. It's such a defined voice and super interesting; me likey (she says intelligently.)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, how curious that this thing (:D) is both alive and dead! I like the voice of this very talkative and observant character!
