Would You Rather

18 - WYR: come to some important realizations or be kept naive

FIDAN

 I leave when she falls asleep, tucked halfway into me. I figure it's probably the right thing to do. She hasn't let me stay over yet and I doubt she would want to start after a night like last night and the conversation we had. Something tells me that she wouldn't love all that additional attention after that. Hell, she practically rolled away and ignored me for twenty minutes after the half conversation about the gap year.

I do, however, text her.

Maybe more than I should.

But I can't help it. Practically everything I see in a given day I look at and think oh, she would love this.

I go to practice the next day and I text her a picture of the pile of broken sticks we produce after a full session of one-shot slap-shots on net.

I text her that night when she can't hang out a picture of a spider in my house.

I text her the next morning as we're boarding the plane to play an Eastern set. A picture of Hugo and I standing in the airport bathroom at the crack of dawn looking beat to shit. I text her again when we get off the plane in North Carolina, bragging about the weather.

I'm a mess, really.

FIDAN: would you rather live through some really terrible earthquakes or a volcano eruption

FIDAN: Attachment: 1 Image

12:05 PM

1:10 PM

FIDAN: Rocket of the bottle rocket target is arguing with Jorgen about whether or not the corn challenge is a real thing that works

FIDAN: I want more medical input

1:25 PM

HOLY H-BOMB: Jorgen knows best. Stg that man is a textbook. Also. What is the corn challenge???

FIDAN: if you eat nothing but canned corn you'll eventually shit nothing but canned corn cuz... yk when you eat corn

HOLY H-BOMB: Gross.

HOLY H-BOMB: and hold on, I have to outsource. you asked the wrong type of nerd

HOLY H-BOMB: okay. My friend Cole says that while this is a thing that people have tried and been successful with, the sources are suspicious. You can eat nothing but corn, unchewed, and eventually also excrete mostly corn, but poop also contains a lot of other things. Hold on, he's making a list.

FIDAN: you're friends with poop experts? Starting to wish I went to college instead of this gig

HOLY H-BOMB: not poop experts, just more premed students

HOLY H-BOMB: the list is that while also containing food matter, human feces also contains bile produced by the liver which aids in digestion, bilirubin derivatives which break down heme and associated functions, dead red blood cells, dead cells from the entire digestive tract, and mucus.
