The Fall

It's funny.

She doesn't talk for ages and then...

Boom.

It's all my fault we're going to die we're all going to die and it's all my fault.

It was interesting at first but now it's just fucking annoying.

Because that's all she says.

And she won't shut up.

Even at night.

Charlie keeps threatening to kill her.

Knowing Charlie I think he might.

I have to tell him not to. I tell him I think the Kid's a little off.

Charlie listens to me. I don't know why. He seems to have taken a liking to me.

I'm not surprised.

I'm a dreadfully charming little thing.

I could wink at you andf you could completely melt.

A bunch of crazy hippie-types have taken to marching about outside of government buildings.

With signs and all.

Signs that says things like, "Pay Attention to Astra!" and "Astra's Economy Needs Help!" and yadda yadda yadda.

I don't really know what that means.

I dropped out of school at nine, remember?

I can barely multiply.

Charlie's a whole lot smarter than I am.

He's older, and he went to school up until he was fifteen.

That's almost how old I am! He went that long!

Last night he told me a secret.

He said he's got a lot of money.

He didn't tell me where.

But he said he's gonna be really rich and buy a huge mansion and all.

I asked if I could come.

He said no.

But he said he might give me a little money to buy a house of my own when I'm older.

I don't think Charlie cares much about other people.

He's a little off, too.

Not like the Kid, but in a different way.

These are some weird times.
