Amazing piece Colleen.

I’m always a bit torn about magical thinking. I suspect there is much more going on in the universe than we can label or measure, but the science geek in me hates to not be objective.

And your brother was a dick! Wow!

“voice” is my favorite part of writing. i really like the voice you’ve found here. you provide great detail about trivial things, and gloss over details about major things — very true to real conversation.

i’m making that point poorly. which is extra sad, considering i’m using crap writing to praise good writing. but in reading this, my brain heard the story being spoken to me in an imaginary version of your voice. and that’s my favorite kind of writing.

Absolutely brilliant. I’ve never really thought about it like that and will probably never look at my obsessions with zombies the same way again.

the absolute worst is when someone brings a baby to the theater. and what’s really odd is how one always cries at an AMC theater right before the feature starts!
