I dunno, said Michelle. Maybe he thought I was someone else. A band was playing Part Time Punks. He took a long pull. She kissed him on the cheek and shoved him into the mosh pit.

When he woke up the next day Adam remembered a dream where Michelle was dressed as one of the babes from He-Man, huge boobs and long flowing hair pretty much the opposite of Michelle, actually. Then he remembered leaning his sword against a wall of the warehouse the night before. Because he felt like a tool trying to mosh with it lit up red and green all the time. He was out of toothpaste.

Adam had several clocks in his room but none of them worked. None of your clocks work, Michelle said. I know, he said. Should I fix them or live without time? Michelle said, The question is. Maybe the aboriginals just need batteries too. Australia seems like a lot of desert. It died really fast, Michelle said.

Michelle texted him at two in the morning. Yeah, he replied, sometimes. What do you do about it. I close my eyes and try to think about nothing for a while. Sometimes I count my breath to ten and then back to zero. She texted, Yeah yeah.

The next day he saw that Michelle had posted SPIRITUAL REBIRTH! On Facebook. He clicked that he liked it. A few minutes later he got an alert. Some guy commented, is that why you called me at three in the morning? .
