State Gothic
- You walk
into the changing room of an H&M store. There is a little short-haired redhead.
She pushes you against a wall. You can feel her pelvic bone against yours. You blink.
She’s gone and you’re lying on the ground.
- You look at
the river. The tide silently changes direction. There are two suns – one in the
west, one in the east.
- Your mother calls you. She says your uncle has died. You walk into the kitchen to tell your uncle he has died. He doesn’t look you in the eyes. The room fades away into a corn field.
- There are
cigarette filters on the sidewalks. You see a man pick some up and eat them. Then
he walks into the road and gets hit by a car. His body floats an inch above the
ground. It emits a low buzzing sound.
- A seagull lands on your head. You try to scare it away with no success. A green liquid starts pouring from your nose.
- You walk
into a brothel and ask for a short-haired girl. They introduce one to you. She tells you she’s never had a woman pay for her before. She pushes
you against a wall. You can feel her pelvic bone against yours. You blink. She’s
gone and you’re lying in a man’s bed.
