By Camille Alexa. Read by Dani Cutler (of Truth Seekers and The Audio Addicts). Will appear in Machine of Death (TBA). I look at the calendar hanging on the wall above my bed. I reach up, lift it off its nail with one hand and snuggle back under the covers, taking the calendar with me and running a finger over all the red Xs marked over all the days leading up to this one. It’s a little cold out, and the last thing in the universe I want to do is catch an effing cold the week of my birthday, so I snuggle down into the warmth of my flannel sheets even more. I know there’s going to be parties this weekend, and I’m going to want to go. This is what I’ve been waiting for all these months. All these years, I guess, though before my friends started getting theirs, it didn’t seem like such a big deal. We were all No-Knows then. Tomorrow, I’m finally going to feel like I belong. Tomorrow, I’m going to find out how I die. Rated PG. Contains allusions to profanity and some sexual implication. Referenced Sites: Metamor City Podcast Less
