Mostly Hero

By Anna Burns.

[seab]

'The great sign of love and friendship between us,' pronounced the corpse, 'is that I don't point my gun at you and you don't point your gun at me and the designated site of the non-pointing of guns will be the cemetery, marked by a famous unfilled-in grave. This grave with nobody in it will be the symbol of the mutual care and respect in which we hold each other and, as long as we keep to our own end of the bargain, it will never have to be filled in with any of your, or my, dead.' [...] 'You mean implying distrust is all there is?' asked the media. '--and treachery is all there is?' asked the police. '--and hyper-defence is all there is?' '--and threatened response is all there is?' '--and that that is what love is?' '--so we'd better get used to it?' '--by laying down rules?' '--and treaties?' '--and clauses within treaties?' '--which must be obeyed?' '--in order for us to love each other?' '--otherwise we'll kill each other?' 'Exactly,' said the wizards.

Da série "o meu pai e melhor que o teu", em que a uma filha faz um apelo desesperado para que a visitem. Basta apanhar um voo para Dublin e depois o Dart até Dun Laoghaire (sentido de Howth) 🌊🇮🇪🍀

Declaro inaugurada a era de photo dumps no Tumblr.
