First




Who?

This time it was a woman with a pram. There wasn’t a baby in the pram. That’s what did it. That’s what annoyed me. It had jars of what looked like mayonnaise in it. Lots and lots of jars. Some of them full and some of them half full. I’m not sure is was mayonnaise. I didn’t hang around to taste it. Even if I had all the time in the world, I wouldn’t have tasted it. Why would you? I mean it looked like mayonnaise, but it could have been anything. Anything white and sticky. She had a headscarf on as well which annoyed me even more. A woman pushing mayonnaise in a pram with a headscarf on. She looked fed up anyhow, so she was probably very pleased.

Where?

Bristol. I like the graffiti and think that I might be Banksy. I black out sometimes. Who knows what I do in the shadows? Maybe paint? It’s very cold here and the Thekla is shut so I can’t get me no trip-hop or indie twee. That’s if they still do trip ho and indie twee. Just seems to be lads shouting now or different lads who don’t eat trying desperately not to be a pop band when they are. I mean they just hold their guitars. Might as well be holding a mop.

Why?

I think I’ve covered that. How many reasons do you need? I think it’s because the Thekla was shut. I could have gone there instead and found someone nice to talk to. This could all have been avoided. It’s not my fault.

When?

Just now. In terror twilight. Not the day. Not the night. The space in-between. The most oppressing time of the day. The time when the mediocrity never fails to eat you up. That’s when I get my saddest. That’s when I want to cry. Maybe I should get one of those lights that get rid of the SAD.

How?

Hit her multiple times. With a jar. Possibly mayonnaise. Took a while. Made a good noise. She looked like she was expecting it. The blood mixed nicely with the mayonnaise. It looked like that stuff you would stick a prawn cocktail in. That weird orange that’s kinda brown and doesn’t exist in real life.

This is not a suicide note.  I am not allowed to do that. That would make me the bad guy. If things were a bit different though I would deffo be eating toast in the bath. I hope I get ill again. That would be perfect. The only problem with getting ill last time was that I got better. I was ready. I was ‘at peace’. Then, as now, I have had enough. I am always tired, I always hurt. I am never shown any love and I don’t really do anything I enjoy. All the things I am supposed to enjoy either I don’t or I get stopped from doing by other people who are supposed to care about me. I am now old enough to know I will never get what I want in my life. This is it, my best days are behind me and I wasted them on making do. The sun comes out and I get sunburn in the hope that it will fix my skin. In the hope it will make me better. It just makes my skin fall off in different ways and hurt from a new angle. I look for stuff to fill the box I live in. The space is getting smaller and ...

The Eternal

And then they all stopped talking. What had they been saying? It was definitely something to do with me. I don’t mind. It just makes me laugh to myself. I need to laugh. Even if it’s just an internal thing.  The guy with no hair is round again. Buzz buzz buzz . You open the window but the wasp won’t flay out. He would be better off out there in the world but he would sooner be banging into windows. You bump into the criminal by accident. What do you say? Does he know I know? He must do. He knows the environment. He knows what’s happening. What do you say? You say ‘alright’ and then you move past. You are glad you don’t have your child with you. That would have been weird.  You go back through history. You see all the relics and ignore them for plastic hiding in cabinets.  You are melting. Your skin is coming off. The machine won’t work. Why won’t the machine work? And you try and you try and you try and everyone is looking at you and you are melting.  An...
