Hey, Steele. I don't blame you for leaving me behind. We don't get along very well most of the time, and I'm pretty sure you'd just as soon make out with the Boss as you would give me a single, lonely ounce of respect. You have your reasons, and I'm at peace with that.
What I'd REALLY like to know is how you figured Amanda would fit into your whole "I'm leaving this house for my own safety" routine. She's sitting in her room, completely unable to walk, and all she really wants right now is some company.
And you leave her. Looking out for yourself, and yourself alone. What about Amanda? She's been there for you at every opportunity, a faithful friend for several years, and you decide to up and leave when she needs your love and support the most. You leave her in a situation that you deem dangerous, even though she's bedridden and needs to be heavily drugged just so she won't scream and cry in agony.
Fuck, I hope you're reading this so you can realize just how much of a dick you're being. Because I have, and so has she.
And we just got over the cursing too Doc.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, he probably won't even fucking read this, or care enough to comment if he does.
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen, my point exactly. Yes, I'm looking at you, Grov.
ReplyDeleteSteele, go fuck yourself with a railroad spike.
Yeah? Where's Amanda been when I've been here, warning the good runners of this world about some very real dangers? Where's she been when I've had abuse hurled at me for being seemingly the only person in this organization with some sort of understanding of morality, and the lack thereof? And where was she when I was dragged into the East Wing by our glorious leader, or when I saw him in that goddamn jail cell...changing? Fucking nowhere. I've had only one friend in this organization for a long time. And, all respect to you, hun: It wasn't Amanda.
ReplyDeleteIn conclusion: Fuck off and let me live, I'm not going to stay around to die, particularly not when I'm treated as a goddamn criminal when I /do/ try and help people.
August...I'm not picking up my phone for the moment. I'll call sometime. Don't worry, kid: I've got a car, and I've got my freedom; I was in far more danger at the House than I am out here. It's time for me to start worrying about you for a change.
Hegemony, Steele.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best.
Be careful.

Every passing hour brings the Solar System forty-three thousand miles closer to Globular Cluster M13 in Hercules — and still there are some misfits who insist that there is no such thing as progress.
ReplyDeleteAmanda's a big girl. She can handle one person leaving.
ReplyDelete(Also, Elaine, I enjoy how you ragequit and stop commenting on one post and call me out on the next one. Brilliant.)
Doc, Elaine, cut him a bit of slack. He needs downtime just like the rest of us. And while Steele definitely doesn't need me defending him I understand that he needs to get away for a while and yeah, we've been more than a little unfair. I'm sorry for that, Steele. I really am. And Doc, you of all people should know this isn't the first time this has happened. Please. Give the man some space.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, you really need to get off the computer. I'm going to check on you after this and if you're not off it by the time I get to your room, then I'm going to put it on the shelf just above your cane's reach until you're considerable less doped up.
Grov, you're a pest.
And Steele? Just... take your time. We'll try and hold the fort while you're gone. Live a little, just... please don't forget about us. I'm not certain you view us the same way, but we definitely care about you more than any of us are willing to admit. Please be careful. There's always a place for you here (whatever that's worth, apparently not much) and you know I'm not going to stop worrying until I hear from you.
Be safe. I know you will.
You mean I don't get my own paragraph?
ReplyDeleteAugust, I thought what we had was special.
