The water rushes down the wall, drips from the light fixtures. Strikes from a metal tool to the floorboards makes quick work of the puddle in the living room, letting it drain. nothing to save. it's all going to be lost anyway. I can handle it. The adults are so impressed by your bravery, and you carry everything you can to the jeep. You watch a beloved lego set float through the kitchen. Time to feel it later.

The water is waist deep in the house’s basement. the tiles have to come off the walls. I can handle it. The force of determination makes it true, letting them Become the self that can handle it. What was the name of the hurricane again? Didn't matter terribly. Fall was simply the time when this happened. The sound of someone screaming in the distance in raw pain at the damage is so fucking pointless, you wish they would stop. Of course watching everything you've ever owned be soaked and ruined hurts. There would be time to feel it later. There was work to do now. Shame about your 18th birthday party.

Jabbed by a nail behind the tiles. No time to feel it. Skin was getting in the way of efficiency. Shed that, let metal do the work of controlled destruction in a drowning house. I can handle it. You are the one that can handle it.

The mantra shifts more of the flesh into the unaware space away from the body. Metal blades pass through water more easily, flow around without interacting. God, I wish they would shut up. It's just snow melting on the roof. This apartment building is old, we are on the top floor, there are leaks. Sleeping best one can through the dripping sound as the spring heat melts winter ice.

Her voice breaks again as the wall turns damp, rousing from a video game. The pipe exploded. All you can save from the room is the photos. You have to hold them carefully between metal fingers that end in bladed tips, to not puncture the photographs. How old were you then? 26? Doesn't matter. There is work to do. You can handle it. Time to feel it later.

Shut up shut up shut up shut up stop screaming shut up feel it later shut up shut up why don’t you just handle it like i can why don’t you just rip it away, become metal and strong, handle it, stop crying.
