Part II
Hi Nick
Daisy
what time is it?
mmm
Late
where are you?
You
You are going to laugh at this
am I really
well obviously not if you choose to be a dick about it
you probably won’t laugh then
but I can’t help that
what do you want
i need a ride
where are you
remember that valley with ashes in it
I remember
basically just there
I’m leaving now
oh also
you should call the police
somebody’s dead here
somebody’s dead?
who’s dead?
dead from what?
oh i don’t know
we weren’t close or anything
looks like they’ve been hit by a car
would that be your car, do you think?
can’t say
hard to tell
definitely A car, though
tell you what
you just come out here and get me
and somebody else can call the police
Part IV
Sweet Valley High
Jess are you there?
yeah I’m here
Where were you?
what do you mean
Did you not get any of my texts?
no
The Sweet Sixteen people were here
for the interview about the fundraiser
they already came?
you weren’t here
so I tried to do the best I could without you
Oh I know I was awful
I’m sure they won’t print anything I said
I’m so sorry you couldn’t make it
hey Liz
Yeah?
do you ever catch anything
when you’re fishing
for compliments
oh my god
oh my god they’re not moving, Jess
I think they’re both dead
Jesus Christ God
they’re dead, they’re dead
the car flipped and nobody’s moving
oh my god
well
you wouldn’t spike the punch like I asked!!
so I had to spike it myself
WHAT DID YOU PUT IN IT
ohhh my godddd i don’t KNOW
something from a jar??
haha i mean booze obviously
booze from a jar
but i don’t knooooww
that’s why I asked you to do it
I would never have helped you if I knew you were going to do
something like this
then I guess you don’t have what it takes to be
Jungle Prom Queen
which
is that the same thing as regular prom queen?
haha what kind of school has two proms
anyhow I thought Bruce looked crazy hot tonight
do you think he has a date for the next prom?
Bruce is dead
they’re all dead
yeah he didn’t look that good tonight I guess
Oh, Jess
I hate New York sometimes
I miss Sweet Valley so much
oh my god I know
they don’t even have a Dairi Burger there!!!
what kind of a city
It’s just so empty
Like this morning at the coffee shop
I really felt like the interaction I had with the waitress
when I asked if they had any stevia
lacked authenticity
I sure wish this news internship were over already
but who knows when they’ll be done having news here
haha remember Mom
I knew you’d understand, anyhow
remember Dad
what happened to them
where do they go all the time
Jess
Jess where are you
haha what
the pep rally is in a few minutes and we need you for the pyramid
oh that
something tells me we’re not going to be cheering much tonight
what do you mean
let’s just say
we won’t have to worry about those jerks at Big Mesa anymore
Jessica what did you do?
let’s just say their plans to trash
the field after the big game have
“gone up in smoke”
Jessica
what did you do
let’s just say their “gym”
is “on fire”
with SVH spirit
hey do you want to go to the Dairi Burger?
I’m all hungry
and covered in ash
hey
how do you pronounce “Soc”
What?
i mean is it like “sock”
because it looks like that’s how you’d say it
but in my head I think of it as being pronounced “soash”
huh
like rhymes with cloche
I guess that makes sense
why do I even know what a cloche is
what kind of a gang is this
what do you mean
i mean i feel like we’re different from other gangs
different how
i don’t know i guess
we’re just a bunch of regular beautiful guys who like to
read poetry and get in knife fights
yeah
yessir
nothing like putting your hair in place
stabbing a rich guy
then talking about Robert Frost in an attic with another guy
if that’s different, then i guess i’m different
no you’re right
man you know who i hate
who
guys with green eyes
or i guess
MOST guys with green eyes
would you say my eyes are greenish-gray, or grayish-green
i don’t know
your eyes are icy blue, so they’re always icy blue
but sometimes my eyes are more greenish-gray than
grayish-green
which i think is better
huh
hey do you want to come over and watch the sunset
yeah okay
i guess so
okay great
i mean it’s the same sunset as the one at your house
so don’t expect anything big
i won’t
i really think they’re more grayish-green right now than
anything else
yeah maybe
not green like Darry’s anyhow
they’re green like ice, but bluer than that
I really need to update my eye color journal
your what?
see you soon for the sunset!!!
so what did you think
what did i think of what
what did you think of all the drawings of Dally i sent you
oh yeah
do you think he’ll like them?
do you think they’re any good
there sure are
a lot of them
do you think i made his eyes look enough like blue ice
that was really what i was going for
because his eyes look like blazing blue ice
i definitely think you did
oh good
i was kind of worried
that they didn’t look enough like blue ice that’s blazing
no, they’re–
you did a really good job
they’re really nice
well i wanted to do something special for his birthday
and it was either this or a switchblade
and i figured everyone else was already getting him a switchblade
right
what’s a guy gonna do with six switchblades, you know?
yeah
such a thing as too many switchblades
anyhow i’m glad you think they’re good
yeah
you want one?
oh
i think i’m okay
i can draw you one real fast
it won’t take two minutes
no i’m okay
i’ll draw you one just in case
his eyes look like blue ice
blue ice!
you awake?
yeah
what’s wrong?
i had that dream again
oh
that dream where i got the haircut
that was the worst day of my life, the day Johnny cut my hair
remember?
yeah i remember
if a guy doesn’t have his silky reddish-blonde hair
that’s just a little redder than Soda’s and swirls just right
well what kind of a guy is he?
plus it was real sad when Johnny died, too
yeah
died before his hair could even grow back
i remember
his hair looked terrible when he died
i was embarrassed to even go to the funeral
yeah me too

Miss Felicity -
I must thank you for coming by last week to my hiding-place
the biscuits and canteen you brought were sorely needed
I know once I can enlist with the Patriots
I will be a burden to you no longer
I fear that before that day, however
I must trespass on your kindness one last time
and ask when you will return
as the water you so kindly brought me
ran out several days ago
and I am afraid to venture forth in daylight
and this fetid swamp provides me with no relief
BEN
BEN I’M GETTING A PONY
I congratulate you, Miss Felicity
that is wonderful news
Perhaps
perhaps it shall make the trip shorter
when you do come again
I will name her Penny!!!
for I have grown weak from thirst
She is the color of a penny
is why I have chosen that name, Ben
A good name, that
I trust I can keep my strength up
long enough to see her myself
I am going to brush her mane EVERY DAY
