I'm chewing on my thumb and listening to ice crackle and hiss as it deflates. "Melts." Once, you were an artist swearing your mistakes were your genius. Now you are locked in place and waiting for some monster in a fishtank to manifest, but you mailed your change to some shady place in Wisconsin you saw in an advertisement in a comic book from the seventies, or eighties. You've gone mad. Everything else suffers for it and you can't see.

"Stationary."
I'm chewing on my thumb and listening to ice crackle and hiss as it deflates. "Melts." Once, you were an artist swearing your mistakes were your genius. Now you are locked in place and waiting for some monster in a fishtank to manifest, but you mailed your change to some shady place in Wisconsin you saw in an advertisement in a comic book from the seventies, or eighties. You've gone mad. Everything else suffers for it and you can't see.
