[night after night, a forever crusade of gin and tonic. watercolors flaunted, candid, on sore legs she catches aria from makeup mutter profanities under her breath about, thinning gristle from a week long fast, chorus to a song she wakes up humming to on the filthy doorstep of someone that reeks distinctly of piss. the insipid emptiness of the street and the stillness of early morning air does little to faze her drowsy state. the bleach in her hair feels new, as if still frying. she doesn’t mind the hand on the meat of her cheek. not at all.]
JULIE YE, running behind schedule — left in the dark on what the hour, day and month it is exactly, to @killsolved: fuck..
[trails of dried mascara carry evidence of face being baptized with pulp teardrops. some sort of salted liberation evidently having knocked her out on pavement steps and used prada borsa as pillow. rabid consciousness kicks in and JULIE garners just enough strength on whitened limbs to push torso and uncoordinated head up. gaze, still blurry, just about make out sharpie scribbling on the back of hand in the pull up and scurry to find a face. any face.]
JULIE: are you—— are you vivian castro? i think i was, like, looking for you. are you her? you kinda.. look like a vivian.
