"Stillness With Intent"
// BLURB //
I don’t quite like water. I never have. It’s just a part of who I am I suppose, an identity marker of sorts. Did I mention that I love feathers—or rather, that I love to hate them? Meee-ow, enough about me! I’d like to know about you, pretty goldfish. Tell me about school, about your life growing up in the lilong, and the love you have for flowers that aren’t quite bloomed yet but surely will. I want to know your secrets, little goldfish, your desires, and what makes you tick and flow. If I’m being totally honest, I want to taste you. I want you inside of me, little goldfish, and I want you to enjoy it too. Am I being too forward? Was Achenbach too forward in his wanting for his muse? Some would say he wasn’t forward enough, and I don’t want our short time to be wasted. Come, little goldfish, let us join and go far away from the lights of this city.
