Steve.... Dim..... Neo.....
what was going through their brains? The days licked on like
popcicle sticks. Nothing changed much around the house, which had
been built in the 60s and was now falling apart like a sloppily
built beaver dam in the midst of spring showers. What, if anything,
have you accomplished in this time? Decades of events and triggers
rolled past like yesterday's waste. Back in 1992, they had the damn
kid setup near the house on Tamarack Street with a big plastic
baseball bat, and jeff swim faked out the catch. The glass paneling
in the entryway near the front door blew open. This had been
accomplished by micro-C4 explosives planted in the glass itself, but
was intended to give the impression that the kid had knocked out the
glass from hitting it with the bat. Later on, perhaps weeks from
that event, the kid was trying to cross the street. He was riding
one of those 3-wheeled bikes from Zellers. Char stood on the
opposite side of the road, and hollered at him to cross. He didn't
want to cross, it went against his gut, but he did anyway, just to
get across the road. Then, a few months later, some crazy fuck
driving a shitty car would cross in front of Jim Fiddler's blue
pickup, being driven by jeff swim. The event was to demonstrate
symmetry breaking in the form of an adult male pretending to have
been sticken by a pair of scissors across his forehead. The scissors
were claimed to have been atop the dash at the moment of impact. The
man, bloodied from the forehead down, red smears across his face,
stumbled from the vehicle, looking dazed and confused. The kid, who
was probably about 7 or 8 at the time, looked up at the injured man,
who was in fact not injured at all but prepared to look as such.
Jeff swim spoke on apologetically to the man, who eventually climbed
back in his car and left. The damage to Jim fiddler's truck, which
Jeff swim had been driving at the time, was little more than a dent
of blue plastic from the hood, which they would joke about later.
They would joke about the blue plastic notch breaking out of the
hood at the expense of a fully damaged vehicle with a man who'd had
his face torn up by a pair of scissors on the dashboard repeatedly,
like the event had some sort of mystical significance.
