Never Normal

Burning orange sun hazes indistinct and wavy over a suburban strip mall parking lot.

09.03.2019

It’s been hot for forever. This is no Indian Summer, mind you. This is a psychotic, inverted sun circling the parking lot with petty revenge on its mind. Why it bears this grudge against me in particular, that’s open to speculation. The files are vast. Neon highlighter strokes tell a checkered tale.

Some people theorize we’ve reached the point of no return. Never normal, never again. The world that succored human civilization has been poisoned by its own spiteful offspring. Maybe that grudge isn’t so mysterious, after all.

For now I’ll take a White Claw and some reggaeton. As loud as possible, please.
