" you ever wonder who you were in a past life? “ deep, elis, real deep. the scene: late night. empty bar. head resting in palm, fingers wrapped around a glass of sprite. she doesn’t drink much, anymore------ gives her headaches----- but she does skulk around dingy dives if only in search of something to do. she’s supposed to have purpose now. she’s supposed to be one of the good guys. it feels like she’s wearing the wrong skin. “ in my past life, i used to be a criminal mastermind. had a real close friend who worked with me. we were at the top, y’know. royalty. “ it’s easier to tell the truth when people think you’re intoxicated. “ but how ‘bout you? any idea about who you used to be? or is that, like... too intrusive? in another past life, i used to be able to read minds. way cooler than where i’m at now. “ // @scutherngothic
