and it’s selfish, in a way??? because we love these people and would do so much for them because they mean more to us than other strangers do. it’s exactly like an iteration of the trolley problem, actually. one track has your daughter on it and one track has fifty people. don’t even try telling me you wouldn’t go onto track B if it meant saving your daughter and her puppy dog eyes from the whimpering and pain and fear. The Last of Us says yes, you would. I would. we all would. and like yeah that is our greatest weakness, that we have such a unique ability to love a handful of people so deeply that our compassion towards community and strangers and the bigger collective starts to slip from view. but goddamn what a fucking great fatal flaw it is to have. we are all going to die and the world will burn because we loved another person too much.

Angela Carter, The Lady of the House of Love (The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories)

the sound that never lived and died in your throat, and so continues to never live and never die. the absence of sound and its mirror: the potential of sound. the what if of sound, the never of sound. now your body is the room and the sound and the absence of sound.
