I’m wondering if I can steal someone’s wallet while I’m in the area. I’ve really descended to a new type of low. There’s a discarded chip on the ground and I purposefully avoid looking at it. I was a Princess of the Serpent Court at one time. Now, I’m thinking about eating day-old cold chips from the ground. A bubble of mad laughter begins in my chest and I clamp down on it as hard as I can because it’ll likely come out as a scary caw.
