This is me trying to write.

It was the moon-cub’s job to pick the fist-melons, which were a pale green-yellow. The old man would say ‘Simeon, it is time for you to pick the melons.’ He would say these words through his wooly beard every day—every day that the moon-cub could remember. The moon-cub had lived for many [...]

Effing television

posted by Seth in , , ,

I’ve been watching too much television lately, and I’ve generally been doing too much of nothing. I think Leila was right when she told me not to bring my television along to college.
