The art of storytelling is never linear. It is half-truths, undone. Place your finger upon it, only to realize it is askew, leafing through page by page, marred by the phrase "the end," yet remarking "cont." thereafter. Hesitancy, exemplified. Fabrication was never my area of expertise, and try as I might, the finches, "damn chirpers," falsified birds, did it better. They take the mind, the you that resides within an unmarked bastion, and they watch it crumble while praise is sung in low tones.

How do they find a you that does not exist? Creation. A lack of hestinancy, exemplified.

— M. W.

Milo Wilson was a writer. He wrote about the believable, the actuality. He wrote about his lover, the way the man touched him, felt him, the him that was reality. He wrote about literature, intoxication, mirrors that burst. He wrote about fireflies, autumn days, and the way heartache reflected.

Now, the apocalypse. He documents. He documents bruises, gunfire, conscription that holds your hand and guides you to war. He documents rotting lips, stained laughs, girls with knives strapped to their thighs, gripping them as a beloved would on an intimate summer's eve. He documents them. The finches, the answers, the lack thereof. He documents death, failure, providing the catharsis for living when everything is dying.

Milo Wilson was a writer. Now, Milo Wilson is a story.
