“It’s like when something ends, but nothing has filled the space and you’re stuck feeling like there’s something to be done, but there isn’t. It’s already done. It’s over.”
“Is this about a breakup?”
“Na, it’s about endings, or better, that moment in between moments.”
“The worst thing for a man is to have free time. My grandma used to tell me that. She lived through The Great Depression, so ya know.”
“It’s only been a few hours and I’m spiraling.”
“What’s got you worked up?”
“Finished Daniellewski’s House of Leaves.”

I enjoyed this – it was quirky – and we all know the feeling. And it surprised. Congratulations
This one is surreal, and left my head swimming, so to speak. Maybe I should read House of Leaves? Joshua, it seems to me this was a story that just popped into your mind, and you wrote it. That’s sometimes the best kind!
Loved House of Leaves. Follow up book suggestion: Infinite Jest. That should fill a few cracks, eh?
DFW is a wonderful suggestion, thank you.
