Text

Start: It’s a beautiful night, isn’t it? The stars are out and you can see the constellations quite clearly. There’s Orion, Calpurnia, and the tip of Feces. We used to lie out on this very lawn and study them for hours. Remember those days, Joshua?

[... … …]

End: When did I begin to feel so empty and unimportant, and how is it that nobody’s noticed it before now? Not even me? Why is it, old friend, that I had to dress like a peanut in order to feel like a human again?
