once, johnny's dad told him - the venerable rook senior peering up at his son from his usual inverted perch on the street below - "they had been planning a surprise party for someone who worked with me, on the occasion of his 20th anniversary with our company. and five minutes before we all snuck into the "conference" room a message arrived from the higher ups announcing there would be massive layoffs. it was quite comical. instead of a nice break, everyone felt threatened, doubting, and worthless. now this didn't happen every week, but then neither did a 20th anniversary. it was like the holocaust, not literally obviously, but in the sense that it only had to happen once for you to know something's wrong with the world. why go on in a world where people don't care if you're smiling or frowning and even that gold watch is just shit. fuck it. how could someone look at a church after the holocaust? how?
