My Father's Shadow (Akinola Davies Jr., 2025)

cocky wandering monk: the world is my cloyster

#there are these fake conman monks who wander around downtown scamming people #i feel they should advertise this issue at airports #on trains and buses #etc #its really demoralizing to get scammed by a monk man

I keep waking up in the middle of the night in a panic because I don't know where I am. It felt sort of like a Comfort Inn & Suites or very well air conditioned summer camp.

I actually have a pretty solid plan for the two of us to buy a house in 3 years.

I'm back home after an extended mental health retreat at my fiance's sister's house (who did not really want us there lol). She asked us to leave finally even though Joe had recently thrown out his back and couldn't move well and it was the worst air quality in the history of Chicago and she wanted us to drive directly into it in a 95 degree heat index without a working AC or air filtration system so we have to keep the windows down always. Oook. She said "Oh you'll be fiiiine trust me. :)"

It's actually nice to be home and not feel her eyes on my back. I'm actually excited to clean up and improve things in here. I feel somewhat better. So I think the health retreat aspect at least somewhat worked.

But I lost my oldest closest friendship. Frankly I should have ditched it a long time ago. Sad to say.

I've been hearing Velvet Underground / Sonic Youth-like drone music coming through the wall, but I'm about 70% sure it's just the vents humming. My brain is tying it all together with these imagined details and textures.
