❄ 001: staff paper: handwritten text

[pitch_slap]

[The handwriting is fine, neat, and flowing, a practiced hand, remarkably consistent. Someone used to writing a lot. It seems as if the post is written on blank music sheets, the letters following the lines of the staff. The numbers are written first, then the same numbers translated into musical notes. Then the writing begins.]

It seems like everyone on the network has got these numbers in their heads, right? And there's all these strange things in the news but what I want to know is

Has anybody had, well, voices? In their heads?

I know it sounds crazy, but I guess if it is we've got good reason for it, huh?

[There's a smudge where someone wrote something, and then erased it to a smear.] _sorry

Let me know?

I know it might not be the easiest thing... but perhaps after high school you'll be able to go your own way and make him proud in some way he never would have dreamed of, if you hadn't gone out and done it.

i don't want it.
i am actively going to do nothing with my life.
fuck him and his expectations.
screw society and its expectations.
