Characters part 1 - Sasha
Alexandra
strides over to the iron door and bangs on it with the full force of
each hand. There is a brief lull before she starts banging again. “Eh! Ehhh! Someone come!” She looks down at her
red hands and sinks a little into her skin. “Piz deet!” The Russian
curse slips out of her mouth, quieter now, and in one liquid movement
she turns and slides down the door until she connects in defeat with the
concrete floor. The other girls in the room look up from their card
game, and when they realize her eyes are closed, a couple of them stare.
It is a rare opportunity to study her. To avoid the eye contact that
could set her off again. She is young. Way too young to be in this place

ReplyDeleteHere is a quote for you Bubby T - i think it fits.
ReplyDeleteYou see, no one's going to help you Bubby, because there isn't anybody out there to do it. No one. We're all just complicated arrangements of atoms and subatomic particles — we don't live. But our atoms do move about in such a way as to give us identity and consciousness. We don't die; our atoms just rearrange themselves. There is no God. There can be no God; it's ridiculous to think in terms of a superior being. An inferior being, maybe, because we, we who don't even exist, we arrange our lives with more order and harmony than God ever arranged the earth. We measure; we plot; we create wonderful new things. We are the architects of our own existence. What a lunatic concept to bow down before a God who slaughters millions of innocent children, slowly and agonizingly starves them to death, beats them, tortures them, rejects them. What folly to even think that we should not insult such a God, damn him, think him out of existence. It is our duty to think God out of existence. It is our duty to insult him. Fuck you, God! Strike me down if you dare, you tyrant, you non-existent fraud! It is the duty of all human beings to think God out of existence. Then we have a future. Because then — and only then — do we take full responsibility for who we are. And that's what you must do, Bubby: think God out of existence; take responsibility for who you are.
