Episode 01 — The Mysterious Era
Open a thread. Laugh quietly. Pretend it is not about you.
announcement. i'm entering my mysterious era. unbothered. unknowable. fog, but with a handbag.
you texted him "wyd" at 9am yesterday.
that was networking.
you also liked his photo from 2019. from the depths.
i was being mysterious. who scrolls back to 2019? a mystery. me. the mystery is me.
that's not mysterious. that's evidence.
ok minor setback. then i sent a forty-second voice note explaining why i wouldn't be replying much.
a voice note. announcing your silence.
so the mysterious era lasted what, four minutes.
four and a HALF. i was unknowable for an entire coffee.
next time just say hi like a person.
hi has no plot. i'm giving this man a season arc.
