Brett Ashley

Now you might be thinking, “How wretched. Lacey is so sweet and so beautiful and so confused. And Lem is so lost to history, and was so confused himself.” But as tragic as they are, and they are tragic- But as tragic as they are who is more tragic is God? Lacey worries about God.

Long Time Blues by Duke Ellington plays.

No, God isn’t tragic. But then what happened with Brett Ashley and Harold Loeb?

“Yeah!” says Lem.

“I’m glad you understand what I mean Lem. It’s not that that I’m in love with him. It’s just that things ended with him because he was in love with Brett Ashley and then because I’m madly in love with you and you’re in love with me I couldn’t go back to him, but why did it end? Why was Brett Ashley so problematic? I feel like I was supposed to probably be with you anyway but then I don’t think it was supposed to end the way that it did. It feels like there’s some foul play involved.” says Lacey.

“I agree!” says Lem. “Let’s go to bed within an hour alright?”

“Lem you are creepily real. I just have to say that as a reader, you’re scaring me.” says a reader.

“Maybe that’s because I’m actually real. That’s good jazz but I don’t feel like staying up until 4 AM talking about it.” says Lem.

“I hope when she dies that she wakes up somewhere really pleasant with you and I don’t know about your apartment in New York. I have a feeling she would feel safe there and she’s probably been there with you in her spirit quite a few times, I bet she’s even been in the White House with you quite a few times, but pick somewhere safe though. And I have a feeling you know where that is better than we do.” says the nice Illuminati.

“She’s not Jack at all is she?” says India.

“ no not at all no the slightest I hesitate to answer that because it should be so obvious that I can’t really fathom why I have to answer that again but no she’s not Jack and I’m not Jack Louise not Jack you’re not Jack and you’re about is different from Jack as some people know Lacey and I are very different than Jack. He tries to fool people out of spite, people weren’t really asking that two or three years ago so much because it wasn’t as obvious that I was madly in love with her two or three years ago two or three years ago Bobby also wasn’t running for president but because Bobby’s running for president and because I’ve now been sleeping with her regularly for three years people are starting to think she’s Jack reincarnated, but she’s just as much not Jack reincarnated now as she was then I don’t know how you buffoons missed the fact that she slept with Joe Junior and Joe Senior that doesn’t make any sense if she’s jacked believe it or not you can honestly tell me that you think Joe Junior and Jack would try to be in love with with or Joe Junior, and Joe Senior would be in love with Jack and that rose would throw her down the stairs, and that Jack will keep appearing as himself and be a separate entity from her that’s it that’s so fucking stupidly stubborn.” says Lem.
