Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

She opened the floor to ceiling blinds—another solid gray day.

In the 2020s, much had been done to stop people coming through arbitrary borders. Too bad they hadn’t focused on wind-blown microorganisms or #ash.

She tapped the short-wave microphone. “Can anyone hear me?” #vss365

“It was meh.” She shrugged.

“Just okay?”

“It was ‘Rumble of the Robots,” not ‘#Clash of the Titans.” #vss365

“Understand?”

She nodded once, then bounded from the park bench.

Her friend waited. “Get in trouble?”

“Something about I shouldn’t #associate with the wrong kind.” She shrugged.

“Wrong kind of giraffe?” The little girl swung from the bars. “Adults are weird.” #vss365

A package arrived, and her eyebrow quirked. “Thought we said no new stuff?”

“Not my fault. It’s the #adverts.”

She waited.

“Sometimes, we need what they’re selling.” He ripped the pack open, revealing a lilac bed jacket. “For you.” #vss365

“There’s something wrong.” She looked down in dismay.

The salesperson coughed. “Perhaps if we went a size or 2 up?”

“It says the waist is #elastic.”

“There are limits to that property.”

She pulled the pants from her knees. “Should come with a warning.” #vss365

She’s got a brother. Typical of him to be here now.
“Where were you?” he says. “We said we’d meet up in the year 2000.”
What’s he’s on about? It’s still the 90s.
Then he asks if I wanna dance & drink & screw, because there’s nothing else to do.
I shrug. “Whatever.” #vss365 #pulp

Natalie Reilly-Johnson @natalierj.bsky.social · 6d

“Step outside, summertime’s in bloom!” I say, but she just shakes her head & says, “There’s no other way.”

I don’t look back in anger. No, I don’t feel down. Now is not the time to cry. All I need are cigarettes & alcohol. #vss365 #oasis

Natalie Reilly-Johnson @natalierj.bsky.social · 7d

“We’re engaged!” I said. Then, “Woo hoo!” Maybe that’s what triggered it?

“Well,” she said, “in the words of #Blur, it always should be someone you really love.”

“He is,” I said.

She mumbled something about dirty pigeons. Now all she does is watch afternoon repeats & the food she eats. #vss365

She plopped the red-lined pages onto the table. “This is #pulp.”

“That bad?”

She shook her head. “No plot, character development, or whimsy.”

“I disagree. It is magical.” The editor opened her folder. “Want my feedback?”

The author scooted closer. “You liked it?”’#vss365
