Light a match.

In the time it takes you to finish this, a match can reach the beginning and end of its life. I know because I've tried it. Obviously, it differs by the speed of which you read. Finn skims through lines, and therefore the match still burns by the time he's finished.


Today we saw the first reports.

Two teens on the run after grim discovery.

It was on the front of a Belgium newspaper. We had to use google translate to figure out the headline. But after a while, a few days later to be exact, we found another.

Georgie Prescott : the case continues.

And another.

Village left in shock after teen disappearance and a runaway criminal.

Finn suggested that I wear a pair of glasses so that cameras couldn't pick me up as well. So I put them on.

I look like a freak.

But I buy them.


By now your match should be coming to an end.
And as it burns out, so do I.
That's some poetic shit right there.

Let it die.
