Your Happy Place

There was a great silence for a week. or was it more? I heard nothing from the Teens. I had begun to think that maybe they had run into trouble. But this came in today.

BODY;ENCODING=QUOTED. LIEF. 01001001 Remember back when The Evening News was still a modern concept? Every channel had its own opinions on what was happening. We simply had to pick and choose our favorite theories. We’d argue over our TV dinners about what had caused three hurricanes to hit the coasts so far this month, about why gas prices were up to thirty, forty, fifty dollars a gallon, about where the latest riots had broken out. We’d argue about what was really happening. Then an ad would come on. Eventually it stopped being something we’d watch Tonight At Nine/Eight Central and became something we watched out our front windows. 01100100 01101111 01101110 00100111 01110100 There haven’t been news broadcasts for some time now. There hasn’t been much of anything in almost a year now. I think it would be easier if we all knew what had happened. If we knew why we were living like this. Maybe it would make life more bearable. Then again, maybe not. 01110010 01100101 01100001 01101100 01101100 01111001 We're still trying to find some sense. But answers won't change the situation we're in. Really, we're trying to find a place to live freely. To be happy in. Sara's got directions, she's leading us there. We're on our way. I hope. 01100011 01100001 01110010 01100101 END:VNOTE
