save me
Last night I needed a short break from my loneliness, so I went outside and called Christina. While on the phone, a car crept into the lot. The headlights were suspiciously out. It only took me .3 seconds to yell, "Oh my god, DRIVE BY!" into the phone before taking off like a cartoon blur. It could have been gang initiation or something. I could have died so some asshole could become a Crip.
Once inside, I lingered in the hallway by the guard station. The loading dock door was open, and I saw the shady car pull into a spot up front. The lesbian security guard saw me huffing and holding my hand over my chest and she laughed at me because it was just one of the cleaning people.
But like that’s any better! There’s a new person on the cleaning staff and he appears to be straight out of the Pen. Last night, as he emptied my garbage can, as he lifted that garbage can with the same hands that maybe have garroted a hooker or stabbed a dealer, I politely thanked him. He grunted at me. GRUNTED at me. You know I whimpered audibly.
Bob replied to my frantic email today and said the new cleaning guy is probably going to abduct me Buffalo Bill-style and now I’m full of fear and paranoia. Thank you, Bobby!
I guess it won’t matter that I’m all alone here at night once I’m DEAD. Because I doubt Eleanore will hear my screams over top of her coupon-cutting frenzy. Where’s Tina when you need her, you know?

Considering the gunshots in the near vicinity in the past, freaking out about scary dark cars in the middle of the night maybe isn’t too, I dunno… unsmart. Even if they laughed at you about it. Better than being dead, right?
It is seriously fucked up around here! Now that the weather is getting warmer, it’ll get even scarier. That’s when the police ‘copter starts hovering.
“Because I doubt Eleanore will hear my screams over top of her coupon-cutting frenzy.”
*laughing alone*
Collin is probably laughing with you, since he gets to sit in PEACE AND QUIET now! I tried to get him to steal her scissors when he moved, but he wouldn’t:(
