Garrison O'Donnell ︎ Oct 23, 2026 I was walking in the country on the outskirts of Blue Town, letting my mind wander, picking up sticks and flinging them into the woods to my right, kicking the puffs of dandelions with my black leather boots like they were little soccer balls, frolicking in the high grass that went up to the knees of my torn, black jeans when I spied a path among the woods and followed it down to a creek and by the creek laid my face on a mossy rock, listening to the sounds of the water crawling down the crack in the earth the years had made, and I thought back to my childhood: Christmases with presents under the tree, backyard pool parties where we inhaled the helium from balloons and talked funny, the monkey bars’ metal gripped firmly in my palms, ants swarming water- melon rinds left on a picnic table, my first kiss on a bench outside the Blue Town Cinemateque with my 6th grade girlfriend Sophia, when suddenly I heard shouting coming from far beyond the other side of the creek, and I followed it until I came to a clearing to find two skydivers dangling by their parachutes from a lone oak tree in the middle of the field. “Help us young goth man,” one shouted. “We are thirsty and we have to pee,” the other said, and when I was right below them I thought of all the bad things that had befallen me in my relatively brief life: the presents I opened that weren’t what I wanted, the party invitations I hadn’t gotten, the things that slipped through my hands like a greased watermelon, the women I’d loved unrequitedly, and as they continued to yell for help above me I started doing a little jig, hopping from one foot to the other and pointing my middle fingers at them like I could shoot bullets from the tips, and when I’d had enough of taunting them, had enough of their whining turned insulting, their calling me a depraved nutjob who enjoys the suffering of others, I quit my dance and headed back to Blue Town and after the long walk sat on a bench in front of the public library and wiled away the rest of my day attracting the sun in my black clothing and watching the townsfolk go about theirs: Miss McLean hobble up the marble steps to the library to return whatever erotic dreck she’d checked out, Little Charlie coming out of the library on his lunch break to go hit on women unsuccessfully in the park, the old men who sit outside the post office all day avoiding their wives and telling each other lies while dipping snuff, and my 6th grade girl- friend Sophia, who I could see from afar going into the drugstore on the corner of Main and Blue Boulevard, who I let myself imagine was going in to buy hand lotion, and that day, just that day, I let myself imagine her rubbing it in, slowly, wearing a peignoir in front of a Hollywood-style mirror, right before lying her blonde head on a silk pillowcase and going off to pretty sleep.
