Retort to Gen Y, story by John Winn

Damn, I just feel small. You know, that kind of place you go and stick to the corner. It's your salvation and your curse all dipped into honey. That's who I am right now. I am counting the floor boards trying to hide my dirty barefeet. And I don't even understand how I got here. I mean, you were telling that story about the dog and we were laughing. It was sunny.

It has to be past to become one. I just seem to be picking up on it more quickly than I use to.

The knowledge contained in this document is the rough textures of a life I’ve chosen, the sorrowful scars of a soul exposed, rain that poured down into the brain has been mixed with the pain in my heart creating the emergence of ecstasy while simultaneously toppling my regrets. The colorful crayons of memories blend feelings of my life with fields of tornados sweeping through all my past events.
I don't put my heart into anything and I don't know if I ever have. My mother thinks she has the choice to hang up the phone. She is an ostrich. She likes to stick her head in the sand and live in pure contentment, no matter the sand in her eyes, ears, nose and mouth. It makes perfect sense! Don't YOU get it? Rigid rules. Dictator dogmas. Enormous elephant existing, I think, existentially.
