So I guess I'm permanently sick in the lungs. Other than that, my biggest problem is that I have one of those pimples on my ear.
I'm going to do a little excercise in creative nonfiction. An excercise in retelling, in collecting sources. And I can collect sources. Or source. Or a story that's worth retelling. From someone's perspective. From the beginning.
---
There's this boy, you see? He's my missing source. So I can't give you the last tailof it.
---
I want you to see what I'm seeing because what I'm seeing is death and decay in every sense of the word.
---
There's this boy, you see? He's real cute. brown hair and big brown eyes and these glasses. I guess he's been dating this girl for a while. Not anymore. He says she's clingy or something. And they tried to break up but it didn't work. So he tried again. it worked, I guess.
---
There's this boy, you see? He needed out of a relationship that he didn't want to be in anymore. And there's this girl who he knows, who everyone knows. She's kind of dirty. He told her that he was a sex guru. and so they had sex. That's how he broke up with his girlfriend.
---
There's this boy, right? And this girl he knows, who everyone knows, went with him to his car. they drove around the block and then they did it. Just to do it, Just to get his girlfriend finally out of the picture. She climbed on and he finished fast. He finished really fast and was embarrassed. So she got out of the car and thought nothing of what had happened.
---
There's this boy, ok? He dropped that girl who everyone knows off at the corner like a whore. Maybe she was. Maybe she is. Maybe she's sleeping with some other boy even now, some boy who isn't her boyfriend. Or was. That's when he freaked out. Went and got tested. Maybe he should have. He tried to move on.
---
His ex? She's in new mexico making herself a life. That other girl? Everyone knows her. Everyone knows what she's up to. and who she's next to. Him? Well.
---
This boy, he found himself a new girl. And now that's done too.
---
There's this boy, right? We thought he had changed. But he didn't. He's the same boy who fucked that girl everyone knows. He's still Eric.
