Still in the past life section of a bookstore waiting for everything to yellow and fade and for the air to turn brittle for the cat to stop counting. "If you're not going to buy anything" oh, I bought it all. The future is in dust settling and writing "wash me" on the back windows of forever.

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.
