c and te

Can you stay with me? I'm scared.

Of thunder and lighting?

Noise and illumination.

Jesus, you really are scared, aren't you? You're shaking.

I'm so not.

Are too. C'mere. Why are you afraid of storms?

Why do you scream when you see a spider?

My brother once dropped a spider into my cereal. I didn't know he had until it drowned and rose to the top of the milk.

Valid.

Hardly, I'd say. My father chewed my head off for getting upset at that. Boys are supposed to be brave, you know.

Not valid. And completely stupid.

I call for a genderless society wherein everyone can be whatever the fuck they want and feel what they want and do what they want.

Amen.

This is a loud one, huh?

Feels like the walls are about to burst inward.

They won't.

How can you say?

Because I'm here.

You're not God.

Touche.

...but it helps that you are, anyway.
