"Do you think I could destroy the stars?"
"What?"
"I know I can't kill G-d but do you think I could kill the stars?"
"Why would you want to?"
"For aligning the way they do."
"Oh. I-"
"You've never thought about it, huh?"
"No."
"You're blessed then."
"And you're what? Cursed?"
"Yeah, with having to wonder if I can fuck with nature somehow so it stops fucking with me."
I'm not sure what to make of this conversational snippet. It reads like a transcription of dialogue between a couple of youngish people having a heavy but rather confused talk about metaphysics. One is sort of in his or her own world, feeling like a victim of nature, while the other responds with more grounded comments. Seems like a couple of friends, or they wouldn't be having this conversation. But aside from read it I'm not sure how this piece is asking me to feel or think about.
ReplyDeleteagreed. i think this would be really cool if you made this longer because it would give us a deeper perspective in the characters' lives. i want to see the dialogue progress!
