It ended up being a gigantic chapter but... oh well.
Chapter 39: A Trusted Ally
Sonorous laughter and carefree conversations swelled through the building like a food court at rush hour. It all merged with the sounds of forceful sweeping, wet cloths dragging across the floor, hollow thumping, furniture screeches, taps of hurried pacing, and the sound…

Chapter 39: A Trusted Ally
Sonorous laughter and carefree conversations swelled through the building like a food court at rush hour. It all merged with the sounds of forceful sweeping, wet cloths dragging across the floor, hollow thumping, furniture screeches, taps of hurried pacing, and the sound of gas or steam traveling through the tubes vining on the wall corners. Occasional metallic clangs came from undetermined sources.

I adore how my next EP is shaping up.
It's special. It's the start of a long journey. The reason I've suffered for years. It's weird, it's moody, it's loud, but most importantly it connects to everything I'm doing. I can't wait to begin the recording sessions!

Oh man... I'm struggling with the next chapter. It was one of those that suffered a lot of editing since its conception, and now that I'm about to post it, I keep finding little things I don't like. But oh well. As long as it's decent. It's not like people are reading it lol.

Chapter 38: Behind Closed Doors

I'm running out of things to be shocked about.
At this point I'm just advocating for public lynching when sane people get control of the US. Or at least, heavy punishments. Lump them all and outcast them.
ICE is a terrorist organization in the likes of c*rtels and CAmerican g*ng members.

I came to bluesky as a refugee from twitter because fElon Must ruined it.
Now bluesky is allowing US terrorist groups to have an account and make a mess here too?
Dear holy fucks, when will this end?

When I became an adult and was kind of free to do what I loved, I didn't think I would fail so horribly at everything like I have.
And to think, it’s still the only thing that's keeping me alive. Because everything else sucks even more.
Ooh. I should make this a song somehow.

I feel like the Nobel peace prize people could have avoided this if they gave their medal to someone who dedicated their life to peace, rather than just "this person is an opposition leader."

Did... Did Trump just buy a pity peace prize that belonged to another person and will never be registered in the official records, all while he's been grifting to fabricate a world war?
Good lords of heaven and hell. That guy is so embarrassing.
I'm embarrassed. I have second-hand embarrassment.

The good thing about my curated YouTube recommendations is finding interesting music and artists in the wild. Like, in random days, they just pop up and I have no choice but to listen.
