Jack: No no Jack, this is the kind of beep I like. It’s the kind of beep you wait for.

Jem: Thanks, Jem. I don’t think I ever go on too long, I get bored of myself very easily.

Robb: My low self-esteem thanks you, Robb. I liked your story on 3AM, too. ‘Rake my ragged knuckle’ is a phrase that stuck to my brain.

I like this. Great tension, suspense, questions, repetition. I think it went on just long enough, and not too long. Well done.

The only thing wrong with you is that you own a device that beeps. Grrl, nothing’s supposed to beep anymore, unless you’re in a hospital. I want you embrace yourself, ringtones and vibrations.

Jim: Ha. That’s an interesting interpretation. The last audio book I listened to was, I think, either a William Burroughs or Jack Kerouac CD - during my beat phase when I was seventeen.

L: Gracias, amiguita querida. ;)

Asia: And once again I am sad that you should feel that way while simultaneously relieved that I am not alone. So you see, all in all, quite conflicted. No change here, then.

AUW: Aw. You say the nicest things, Mr Unreliable.

Chris: Wow. I should post about sitting around and waiting more often.

Once again you’ve managed to prick straight through to how I’ve been suffering lately. Whether it’s how you meant it or not. Thank you.

This degenerates nicely. In part it reads almost like an automaton is talking and once IT gets to the end it beeps and begins the ‘thought’ again. Of course I read it wrong the first time and I thought you were putting a book on, an audio book. I thought the beep was to indicate the end of the side.
