Slipping mud is fun,
Try it, everyone!
For the record, despite the tone of this story I remember I was happy enough when I wrote it early in 1996, so its darkness wasn't coming from my life, but 1996 did turn out to be a mixed year for me, starting on an up note after a rough 1995, having what I wanted, life calming down, high school being less a pressure cooker than other years there, everything going great, then the man I loved more or less dumped me so he could take his dumbass drug addict, f**k any hot woman he could get his hands on father to Argentina for a liver transplant, and I remember that summer seeing this story and thinking it was almost prescient because I was in a good place when I wrote it but was mad and down and sad the next time I read it. I've lived a weird life.
I don't understand why a story should be written in second person.
Why should first and third have all the fun?
Okay, actually I think the story had an accusatory, persecuted, paranoid tone that fit the second person. YOU!

Okay, I can't argue with you.

I bet we could find something to argue about if we kept trying. Orange sweaters, for instance. Are you pro or con?
