important public announcement:
sleeping Dwayne The Cat Johnson, his lil nose looking pink, his paw folded over neatly folded up paws. maybe pink beans. his tail is folded through his back paws Dwayne, asleep on my lap a selection of delicious pink beans

a short story about blood
When I pulled my cardigan on, I thought I'd caught a wet wipe in my sleeve but it was blood pouring out my arm. The doctor was terribly embarrassed, but made a little joke about throwing in a free shower as she cleaned me up. I find medical staff are far more flustered about this happening than I am. Once someone took my blood into one vial and used a syringe to separate it out into three, but the needle snapped and splattered my blood across me, him and the entire cubicle. He looked horrified and said “I've been doing this for 25 years and that's never happened to me before." I couldn't help but reply “I bet you say that to all the girls" and I thought for a second he might cry.

(youtuber voice) hey guys, check out my gaming set up. like and subscribe for more ideas to optimise gameplay
my lap, mostly horizontal, with one large Dwayne the Cat Johnson on the upper deck with a controller balanced on his back. Meat Loaf, the little tabby baby, at the feet end. Meat Loaf is feasting on her beans and looks unhinged. The TV in the background shows a scene from Horizon Zero Dawn.

I see someone's had a productive day
multiple rock cairns lined up along a shingle bank, looking as though they're gazing out to see. there's a dusky sky in the background and the sea looks white

2/2
the rest of the rocks and the sea from the previous image. verse reads: barely there, fresh snowfall that will not settle, wake up, it's morning the light is golden and nothing is yours, or everything is yours but it's theirs too and you were never good at sharing two hands, one with the flesh falling away from the bone. verse reads: I give the gift of myself reluctantly a child stuffed with forced gratitude and as I give to the world can I trust the world to give back to me? a dead bonsai tree with a small trowel beside. verse reads: they tell you to plant a seed grow the next little bundle of piss and shit and sweat and bile renew, reuse, recycle a drawing of an anchor and chain at the bottom of the ocean. verse reads: when there's nothing left to repulse you create something new to loath create another link in the chain that will flake with rust like you did

found a zine I made a while back which had fallen down the back of the dresser, but it actually works better slightly rotten I think. 1/2
'Dissolving' a zine by Bette Vile. It's A5 and the paper has become yellowed with damp. The page is filled with a drawing of mouldy strawberries. a verse reads: I've been repulsed by everything that's come out of my body verse reads: Parts of me collecting in piles in the corners of rooms a veil of dust, accumulating unstoppable as the water of my brow. the drawing is of a mirror, a candle half melted, a duckling under a bell jar and a Polaroid. everything is covered in cobwebs. two dresses in disrepair and some wire hangers. verse reads: I want for a barrier. hard edges that define what is me and what is not a within and a without drawing is of a beach with large rocks and a mountain behind. verse reads: I am losing the war of attrition my body excreting away until there's nothing left to label on the shelf a pile of was and isn't and can't be any longer
