The Curse by Agnes Obel plays but transitions into a piece by Nicholas Britell.
What exactly is it you’re imagining? If you still even are.
Lem meets Jack. Okay. And Jack bullies him. …That’s a cruel start. And then Jack…becomes his absolute ‘best friend?’ But how? Because Jack never wants to admit to being gay. But he wants Lem to suck his cock. And worship him. …Even if you’re a person suffering from Dependent Personality Disorder…with Borderline Personality Disorder too…you still get hurt. Lem was capable of love? Or was he? No. He was.
So…why wasn’t Lem hurt? No. He had to have been hurt if he was gay at all. But then he’s still so happy? Mm. Maybe not. How could he have been? It’s impossible.
But then he gives up everything again and gets nothing almost at all return other than more responsibility and work. And then Jack is an ass and decides to throw away Lem’s future and get married? And Lem isn’t upset? No. If Lem was gay at all that’s impossible!!! …But Lem wasn’t that sad.
Lem refuses a government position. Why? Well…he doesn’t want to be Jack’s employee. And…he doesn’t trust Jack. And…he preferred to not be in debt to that degree to Jack. But he says it’s to preserve the relationship. Lem knew he could be his “husband” and have that position. …I did. But…Lem didn’t want to work for Jack in that situation. I didn’t see a problem with it. But Jack wasn’t as abusive to me as he was to Lem.
Jack was a very abusive man. Verbally, emotionally, physically and mentally especially. But he…was most evil towards Lem and Lacey although she wasn’t there.
Regardless…your story about Lem as described by David Pitts doesn’t actually make sense. You think you have proof you don’t actually have. Everything makes far more sense on this blog. And Lacey barely even knows that. She refuses to read the Pitts book. It’s on principle that she refuses to read it.
Why? Because she’s sick and tired of you not answering her questions. And she’s decided to “go off the rails.” Intentionally causing chaos only God can address. Why? You’ve gone too far. And she’s sick of it.
Global warming…crime…children suffering fates worse than death…the decay of Western Civilization…and her life. The heroin epidemic. The rampant homelessness. People burning up and drowning all around the world. She’s not in rebellion against God. But she’s making his office a hellhole and starting fires in his house to get His attention. She’s poking Him incessantly and screaming in His ear. Because she feels He needs to do something. And He does hear her. And…if He doesn’t act satisfactorily she will try to literally end the world when she dies.
“I might help her. I’m already working on it.” says Bloody Mary.
“Why is she allowed?” asks a reader.
“Dammit. I can fix this!” says Bobby Kennedy Jr. laughing. “I’m good with women.”
David Anthony Kennedy winces.
“Because things went too far I guess.” says JFK, shrugging in response to the reader.
“Okay. Let’s hear it!” says Lacey to Bobby.
“Stop! She’s taking you in!” yells Hemingway at Bobby.
“Yeah. Whatever. Women are all alike. And she reminds me of my wife and all the weakest people in my family.” says Bobby Kennedy Junior.
Lacey smiles.
“She’s aiming to rip off your head.” says Hemingway.
Jack Kennedy stares at Lacey. “What!? No.
That’s not right.” he says. “Why are you helping me?”
“He’s my enemy too.” says Lacey.
“Okay. Cool.” says JFK as a Japanese man in the past.
“No. Really he is.” says Lacey.
“We should be friends. Why we never become friends?” JFK as a Japanese man says to Lacey.
They spent time together discussing Asian art, his family, and why he’s not really her enemy. But it’s possibly all nonsense. And eventually Jack ends up in Hell after possibly causing earthquakes in Japan.
“I was straight. And that’s the beginning and end of it all.” says Lem.
Later.
“Sexy fuck! The joke is in the crassness, gross use of language, abrasive stupidity, dullness and redundancy.” says the Pseudo Intellectual Father.
“Exactly!” says Lacey.
“Lem…I know why Lacey struggles to believe you fully. It’s an issue of possibility.
As in…how did you imitate gay men so damn well?” asks the Pseudo Intellectual Father.
“Yes! That’s one of her biggest concerns.” says Christopher Isherwood. “Well and why would be friends with him? Why were you so giddy?”
Lem thinks.
“Those are her two biggest issues.
That’s why she keeps referencing the photos of you in the snow.” says Christopher Isherwood. “I talked with Scott Fitzgerald about it. And it’s why he sometimes gets worried she’ll be his dinner companion someday when she dies and not your wife.”
“Yes! With Harold!” says Zelda. “Scott will have to help Harold be more intelligent like him. Because I don’t want to let Scott go. …And Harold is up to it. He’s willing to be taller and more intelligent. He’s already a genius. But it would be no skin off his nose to gain a foot in height and be even more brilliant and soulful.”
“You’d do that for Lacey?” asks Hemingway.
“Yes! It’d be nice to understand her more. And goodness I could be a foot taller. What’s wrong with that?” says Harold.
“I love the idea. She makes sense with us. So you better get this right!” says Zelda to Lem.
“I’m only trying to warn you.
See…turns out I have a great sense of humor.
And…I may be writing this from the grave. My self in 2024 won’t believe it. And Lacey might be slightly physically struggling as I communicate this with her. But…it was a risk worth taking, Lem.” says the Pseudo Intellectual Father.
More later.
