blood in an ice tray

have you ever died in a nightmare?  woke up surprised you hadn’t earned your fate?  have you ever felt like atlas,  threw your back out on the axis,  and collapsed and threw the planet away?  everyone’s just blood in an ice tray-  a vampire picking flowers out in the sun.  run your diagnostic tests,  its posited nobody dies agnostic,  but we still dial 911

CAN THEY USE CHOPSTICKS: no but if she gave it a proper try, she’d get the hang of it.

WHAT DO THEY DO WHEN THEY CAN’T SLEEP:  sometimes she’ll read, or get up and clean something. modern day, if someone showed her how to use a smartphone or a laptop, i think she’d use white noise or asmr.

WHAT WOULD THEY IMPULSE BUY AT THE GROCERY STORE:   she’d definitely be drawn in by fashion magazines once in a while,  or the ones about cooking and homemaking.  as well as the occasional sweet snack.

WHAT ORDER DO THEY WASH THINGS IN THE SHOWER: she prefers baths because she’s a 50s gal,  but she would probably soak for a minute,  then wash her body,  shave,  then do her hair last.

WHAT’S THEIR COFFEE ORDER:  when she was alive,  just a very simple coffee with sugar and a little cream.  modern day,  that would still be her usual,  but she would definitely enjoy trying all the different flavors and sweet concoctions we have now.

WHAT SORT OF APPS WOULD THEY HAVE ON THEIR SMARTPHONE:  she’d have youtube for sure,  maybe pinterest,  candy crush cuz she’s a boomer.  not a lot,  but things like that.

HOW DO THEY ACT AROUND CHILDREN:  lavinia is not very maternal but she does like kids.  she’s more like the cool aunt type.

WHAT WOULD THEY WATCH ON TV WHEN THEY’RE BORED AND NOTHING THEY REALLY LIKE IS ON:  back in the day,  she’d just turn it off and do something else.  modern day,  she’d for sure put on some reality/competition show.  also food network and hgtv,  she would definitely watch.

Kevin had been excited to step foot into a theater for the first time in ages.  Occasionally a new movie would be added to the school library,  but they were always something school appropriate-  historical stories,  documentaries,  films adapted from the work of Shakespeare or Dickens.  He’d watched all of them at least once,  and some of them were pretty good,  but he missed horror movies.  And he missed theaters,  with the huge screens and the gaudy carpet and the buttered popcorn smell permeating everything and slightly sticky floors.
