I’ve been bargaining with the sun ever since I can remember. I’d sit in front of large windows as a child, whispering deals to the clouds, who had swallowed all the sunlight in their passing, to let yellow flood the world again, I didn’t know the sun would return regardless until hands had been shook - a deal made. I’d lose a limb or two and repeat the process; ignorant. nothing has changed.
