      This is a rager.

      Somebody please read this so we can talk about the ending.

        This is the the best article I've read in a long time! I felt like I was inside the narrator's head in a way I can't remember feeling before. The growing unease was palpable. Do you think there was really a meteor shower?

          I can’t believe that fool didn’t tell her! Wtf? This is the kind of poetry I want to write.

              Also, this is such a good follow-on: https://readup.com/comments/the-new-yorker/what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-anne-frank

              @jeff @courtney - either of you seen the movie Melancholia?

              • courtney4 years ago

                Bahaha we’ve tried to watch that movie twice and fell asleep.

                So, I feel like I wouldn’t have wanted to know. Best case, I’m totally fine and then just was freaked out for no reason. Worst case, I am dying, there’s no cure, and I would rather have enjoyed my last day not knowing.

                  OK, so I'm in the opposite camp. Tell me. And/or kill me. Let's do what we gotta do, face first. But DEFINITELY tell me.
