Once upon a timeless fairytale, I spent a weekend at Goldilocks Motel; Friday through Sunday. To relax, to escape my heartache or some shit. I thought, what the hell, the reviews are decent. Some rated it five stars, some rated it three stars, and some rated it one-star. And I was just feeling lucky.
My first night at Goldilocks Motel, I walked into my room, unpacked and shit, noticing three beds in my room: a little one, a big one, and a medium one. How strange, I mused, considering I was the only one in the room. I tried the little bed first; it was made of sweetness and love. Or, more literally, feathers and sugar. But that did not do at all! My legs were too big, and it was too cosy.
Next I tried the bigger bed, thinking my legs would fit; it was made out of anger and resentment. Or, more literally, needles and bricks. But that bed did not do, either! The needles were too sharp, and it was too uncomfortable.
I sighed, slipping into the middle bed. This one was normal, made of everything a bed should be. I fell asleep like a baby. Halfway through the night, the bed exploded. Oh well, I thought, Saturday morning.
Next I went to breakfast; actually, I ordered room service. Same damn thing, if you ask me. On their mistake, they gave me three meals: three soups. At first, not feeling hungry, I sipped the small soup. Eww, I spit out the sewage-flavoured soup.
Okay, maybe the bigger one will taste better, I assumed, for some odd reason. Too damn hot! My burning tongue lasted five minutes, at least.
After another sigh, I tried the middle soup. Hmm, not bad... A few more sips of the delicious broth, I finally found the perfect one. Then, clumsy me, I spilt it all over the damn floor.
Skip forward some more meaningless mediocrity. This scene is now Sunday, my last day at Goldilocks Motel. After I had packed and left, I waited outside for a taxi. Three cabs came: the first one, small with a young woman driver; the last, big with a slobby driver who appeared slightly intoxicated; the middle, average size with an average driver. With my recent experiences, I chose the middle driver first. As if I hadn't learnt my lesson already...
All was well on the drive to the airport; no crashes, or anything. Then a plane flew straight into the taxicab, where I bled to death.

syncope
I am in a coma, and this seems like it's happening but it isn't. I am living in my head- a universe where I'm 18 years old but I'll wake up 36. I can see gravity, I can see the wind, I can see all the universes packed inside everyone's heads and it's tiring. it's a loud place here. in my head, I can't react to the environment around me the same way in reality, I'm not moving and I'm living off of the life that the machines give to me. I am disconnected and dead, but sadly not dead enough. I will open my eyes and everything will be different.

'Today I decided to give up.'
'What do you mean, on what?'
'On you, on myself. I decided tying silk ribbons on dead branches doesn't bring them back to life and there's no use in trying to fill in the blanks to all the things you never say.'
'But I do care about you.'
'I know, and somewhere in a parallel world I care about you. We're rocks tossed on a surface that never breaks and I'm tired of being the sound effects to an unmade film. You won't understand this, and I don't expect you to, but the walls turned to dust the second I started believing, And I keep dragging my fingers across the dirt and telling myself I'll find what's mis

since once you get used to being ignored for long enough, its nice to pretend that you could be something. that you could say something that matters. and that somewhere, someone is listening. and for now, ill make believe that youll make everything better. that the air will taste like sunshine even though its been raining for days. or that my heart isnt disconnected and that maybe my lips will get the message. or even that for the next two and half minutes youll love me.

The irony of the search for perfection - you work it out and then it smacks you in the face. With an airplane.
