I guess I’m at the age where I huff out of the grocery store because they’ve rearranged everything and I can’t find my favorite brand of fiber cereal now.

Finally, on release day, the song that inspired the whole story. Secret games. Rejecting fate. Bringing out the best in one another. This is Dec & Mase.

After three weeks, he finally has a name—Crustaceous. But sometimes he wears a side-pony wig and goes by CruStacey. Don’t judge him lest you be stared down and mocked while he twirls his gum around his little claw. 🦀

24 / Mase doesn't know who he is but he knows Dec makes him feel good. Could he make Dec feel good, too? He’s not so sure.

Listen, the spider was safely removed and now lives outside—happily, I assume—where it can toil and do the devil’s work.

Two minutes after this was taken, I screamed and threw my phone because a spider THE SIZE OF MY FUCKING HAND casually strolled across the couch cushion next to me. Currently booking a hotel. Not sure when I’ll return home.

22 / Dec has a hard time getting back to real life after the weekend he spends with Mase. Work, gym, friends... What's the point when there is someone so clearly missing?
