Backslide, but word of honor: I am better now. Dedicated to a band that's meant a lot to me for a good while. It's a kitchen sink— partially.

Thank you to Stygian Blue for his crit.
Thank you to Heropon who drove out with me to get a picture I ended up not using.

Goodbye, Zion.

"Y'know, it bothers me sometimes how I so frequently fail to express myself with my own words."

Hate just how much I can see of myself in this piece, and how much I relate to the themes and points throughout. Don't like to be reminded of how it makes me feel. And yet, here we are.

On a practical side, you draw on those emotions well in a way that only comes about through a solid bit of story telling, well done +1

yeah. the hard part is that there really isn't one final, definitive answer, but the walk is still worth it. it makes things better, if only an imperceptible amount at a time.

you don't need to crosslink to your entire bibliography for the idea to come across, by the way.

This one hit hard. I think your writing and mine are similar in a lot of ways, and I relate a little too much to Linus here, especially with regards to SMA and everything that series is. It's.. weird! The happiest piece I've written was probably made a year and a half ago. But the message here is clear, poignant, and in my opinion, very important. Great piece, and great to see Linus again. Thank you for all you do, AKAM
