    "You die on weird hills."

    That made sense to me in my head, but then I wrote
    it...

    Weirdness alone isn't reason for regret.

    makes sense to me

    I think you mean that I end my stories in unusual places. It doesn't
    feel like dying to finish a story. Sometimes they get healthier when
    I'm not around to deal them more than their fair share. The voices tell
    me.

    Where would I end? Maybe I don't have anything else to contribute, so I
    up and leave without writing the real ending. Other times they have to
    take time to deliver their message. It's like Custer how much I hate
    the ghost icon. I'm allowed that by the rules of kanly.

    The Mercedes Benz phenomenon still gets me, yet I can respect one
    choice, a yellow Ford Mustang. For me, Pump is all about that Mustang.
    That was a red one. Maybe she will let me do donuts in the parking lot.

    It oughtta rain soon and the creeks will run with water. It's alright.
    Anyways that second half of the story is supposed to indicate that all
    living bodies get here and halp me. It's not a positive message of well communicated thought. That should have been clear in the first half.
    Two words into a sentence is a forthright conclusion as to what is
    meant. Then the words to express that thought have to be chosen for the audience, like no washing these clothes in the same gathering as those
    clothes.

    Someone come up to me and said ain't, gesturing for acceptance of their
    speech. I put it on the back burner and haven't considered that mode of exclusion recently. I bought a pair of sweats today for $4. Included
    with that is the shirt I'm wearing as a bonus gift, maybe a sweetener.
    Money is worth more around here. $4.00 is 400 pennies and that's the
    number considered. Just kidding. It was like that when I got here now
    I'm handing out tens and twenties. Fat Chad's prices rose
    astronomically and Jeff Dodgemore carries ten dollar bills in his wallet.

    A story is supposed to end with a good kick in the nads, but feeling for
    those soft spots in society taxes my nerves. Fat Chad needed five
    dollars tonight and I gleefully passed him up. One time I saw him
    fiending before my eyes, and that was something to get on film. It was
    like Darth Vader in that scene from Back to the Future, my hand on the
    walkman as I pulled the mat out from under him time and again, while
    carrying on a conversation with someone else at the same instant. His
    face was red and it would jerk up and down like he was going to turn
    into a bushwhacker. It was like that cover of Warhammer with the guy
    smiling big as he puts his sword in the stomach of a large orc. It's in
    taking away the ending you were privileged to and throwing it away and
    you can't get it. It's like breaking a bottle in half and then zooming
    in until we can see the and
    for days
