Tanith dropped by today. Like, I hadn't seen her in years, but there she was at my front door in her colonial helmet. Custom made Burmise fan poised in one hand ready to swipe at any pa**ing disease ridden mosquito. She been in Belgium, she told me. Studying the pyramids. It took her years to find out that there weren't any pyramids in Belgium.
I asked her why she left me so suddenly. Why she'd been silent for so long. Didn't I exist for her? Didn't we have something, well, special? She asked me for tea in a plastic cup with a well fitting lid...then she left.
