Amazing. A word from those who go unheard too many a time. You portray each scene beautifully.

god, i think i love you for staging this. were they really shocked? shocked enough to be numbed, and to look neutrally at what they saw and heard?

the way you write is very similar to the way i write. here we are, eighteen and unusual and flirting with disaster, making our looks excuses for our minds, as if that's necessary; goes to show there's something universal about these experiences, a girl from virginia and one from all over europe burning the same colour.

[excuse the familiarity; i'm very medicated, hungover and haven't slept in 72 hours]

amazing.
