Calico Frost

Who are you, you ask? Why, that's an incredibly good question. I don't know. I ask myself that every day, and I still don't know who I am. I don't know who I want to be, or what I want to do when I grow up.

I'm surrounded by sharks

yet I'm on land

I'm chased by mammoths

yet they're extinct

I'm falling through the air

yet my feet are on the floor

I'm choking on the ocean

Gah

not this

this is stupid and dumb and a waste of my time

lets skip this part

its the scary part of a movie that we can just fast forward though

its a dumb fight scene that I fall asleep to

just...

The albatross watched from high above

at the calico cat slinking across the forest floor, a view of the situation from the ground among the trees and undergrowth

the queen bee flitting around, ordering her subjects

I'm watching you lie there, dejected, miserable at your idea of a failure. But it's not a failure if you got impressively high up on the leaderboard, if you got so close to winning but didn't.

I stopped here. I ceased my walking and stood here, for as long as I needed to be until they came. I wait for them. They haven't come yet.
