The sun set. Slow darkness descends on this tiny corner of the world. Two souls suspended in mid-air over the river, stone and steel, wood and wire holding them in place, halfway between a humble memorial and a parking lot, against sacred nature and mundane utility.

STAGE 6 DOES NOT EXIST would be the resultant progeny if the movie Steel Magnolias and the show Abbott Elementary immaculately conceived while reading Catcher in the Rye with Brene Brown as their midwife & spiritual guide quoting the late great poet and GMU professor, Mark Craver. #Q #A #BluePit 📖

The Maeve Code:
There are no small deeds.
Be nice first.
But, when needed—the fangs.
The Archivist’s Lament:
The past millennia, all I have given to the ages is to me—the blade of loss—but
reposting is your resurrection- still, Nera, I miss you.

We trusted the Captain.
We'd have run straight into that Riven ship if she’d asked us.
No question.
Followed her into that void that she made us stare into on our first day. No small deeds. That’s what service is.

Teacher, Mayzie Coates never needed anyone, until a student’s suicide shakes her foundations. In her room. His 5 final words scrawled on her board. From her lessons. All she has is her bff Olivia, fiercely, aggressively in her corner.

A student tragedy

His final words on her classroom board:
Stage 6 Does Not Exist
=
A police investigation
A school board hearing
A heartsick teacher weighs the measure of her own life.
From the gravity of human misery comes an irresistible tide.

..back in her technicolor be-postered classroom, in her lopsided office chair, Mayzie stares at an empty room- yellow post it pad on one desk, two crumpled gum wrappers, abandoned pencil. She notes these things, but her brain cannot force her body to do anything about it. It’s all abstraction. #Q #A

If anyone cares when I’m gone, that’s the memorial I want. Simple, honest. A refuge in all the chaos-not some phallic monument presiding over a swamp, some pretentious White House that, in every Roman column, screams plantation but trees and trails- honoring something bigger than me. #Cheerpit #A #Q

When teacher Mayzie Coates discovers a student tragedy in her classroom, the school board & police want answers that she doesn't have, and it'll take every ounce of irreverence from her best friend, Olivia, to save Mayzie from the gravity of human misery and its irresistible tide. #Cheerpit #A #Q
