tangled in a vine

Has anyone tried fish fingers and custard? It’s all I have in my fridge right now and I’m really hungry… 

Something tells me you should definitely eat those separately. One for dinner and one for dessert, if I may be so bold to suggest.

I'm so amused by them, I can't get enough!

I wish these fireworks would stop.

Me too! They hurt my eyes and ears.

You should've said yes just to see what his response was. What an odd question to ask, though.

// Just help a dead girl out //

It's about four in the evening. Do you have somewhere you need to be?

I missed most of the fireworks last night

Do you not like fireworks either? I try to stay inside and listen to my music loudly, but my siblings always insist that I celebrate with them.

I’d really like to take a vacation… Ideas?

Depends on what you plan on doing with your time.

I like the classics, too. Dystopia is interesting too.

Oh, those are great, too! I read The Giver--as every middle schooler does--and was mesmerized by it! I couldn't believe how wrong and odd a perfect world sincerely was.

You’re very kind. I’m glad to wake up to someone like you.

Thank you. Do you mind me asking how long you've been waking up here?

I’m not - supposed to drink coffee, actually. Thank you for the offer, though.

Oh, that's too bad. Well, um, are you cold or something? I'm sorry, I just feel like maybe I should help you.

I ‘dunno. Something about the impossibility of it all. 

I like the classics. It's nice knowing that our thoughts and troubles aren't new and have been processed before.

I’m going for ruggedly handsome, can’t you tell?

Ooohh yes! I see it now. You're doing a very good job, keep up the good work!

Well. it seems to be one of my favourite … sleep-walking destinations.

Oh, that's really spooky. For how long? Do you want to go get some coffee or something, to calm your nerves or replenish some of the energy you wasted wondering.

Fantasy, mostly. I like supernatural things.

What about them grab your interest?

I need to find a way to fund a new camera. I could always start panhandling, but I don’t need everyone thinking I’m some sort of dirty hipster.

What do you need everyone to think you are then?

Sitting outside with a cup of coffee and a book, probably. That sounds just about right.

That sounds like a very nice survival tip. What genre of books do you like to read?
