Enemies of Ours

Who were Tommy Banks‘s enemies? Not many people. He occasionally had a beef with various Democratic leaders. but that was only after he stopped giving the Democratic Party money.

“I’d have met him if I survived and ran for president I’d have met him. He would’ve been a necessary person to talk to, and I would’ve had to get his approval on a lot of things. And that’s how I may have ended up dating his daughter if I saw him in any capacity where she was there.” says Joe Kennedy Jr..

“Well that makes sense!” says a Rockefeller.

“No I would’ve had to have his approval and if I had met him met her in anyway anywhere I would’ve been happy to be terrified of her. It would’ve actually made me very happy.” says Joe.

“Why would it have made you so happy?” asks Bobby.

“Because I would have thought that it was like us but old money and she’s very beautiful and it would’ve been very easy to fall in love with her and I would’ve thought it was funny. I might’ve thought that it was just sort of like our family on mom’s side.” says Joe. “Of course whether she’s illegitimate The t we or not she wasn’t born earlier and this didn’t happen, but if it had, it would’ve been very difficult for me not to marry her, unless if she was married, or in less of Lem stepped in and took her away from me.”

“I thought your father was a threat as well is that not the case?” asks Red.

“No I I think that’s his mistake. I don’t think that’s actually likely.” says Joe Jr.. “It’s not that he couldn’t fallen in love with her. It’s it’s just that I don’t think he would have actually done anything to take her away from me because I think he would’ve seen that as far too self/indulgent, at the very least.”

“But you think Lem might’ve taken her away from you? That’s that’s so hard for some people to believe who are alive, not for us so much, but…so do you think Lem would’ve though?” asks Red Fay’s wife.

“I cheat. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard that before, but men in my family cheat.” says Joe Jr.. “And she doesn’t like that. And she doesn’t stand for it past a certain point. She tolerates it for a while out of love and mercy. But I would’ve taken it too far and she knows that now. Probably with Katharine Hepburn or some other starlet and she would’ve known that and then that would’ve been the end and Lem would’ve been there. Sex starved, far more straight than people realize…maybe just entirely straight, and between his starvation, and his love for her and her love for him and their attraction to each other and their mutual loneliness? No, they would’ve ended-up together. Then they would’ve had a choice. Do they tell or do they not tell.

And because of Jack’s expectations on Lem to sexually perform for him, because Jack wasn’t straight, even though Lem actually was – and I am so sick and tired of gay men, clinging to Lem thinking they have a fucking clue what was in his head. He wasn’t gay! So stop imagining her seducing a gay man. That’s not what would’ve happened, that’s not who he was. You either understand that or you don’t but if you don’t understand, don’t assume that you do.” Joe seethes. “It’s actually rather painful for me because it’s possible I didn’t realize that he was straight. I knew he wasn’t gay. I knew he was attracted to women, but I didn’t realize how straight he actually is. I didn’t realize he was just straight. And I wouldn’t have at the time either. I would’ve easily left her alone with him. We all feel left our wives with him. We all would have and he didn’t-He never did anything. And that’s been hard for some Kennedy wives to understand because it’s a vanity issue for them. But she wasn’t his exception. I’m sorry that’s a nice thought but no she was his ideal and she’s like me, but she’s a woman. And she’s faithful and yet she’s like me. You should get into a fight over who could be more faithful, my father, or her father because that would be a real fight.

I slept with bisexual women. I might’ve even slept with a few seeming-lesbians in my time. I was a lot of women’s exception. I got around. But that that’s not what happened, I’ve looked into it. No it’s not what happened. You know it’s funny though because Jack really should have known better, considering that I was in love with her and she was in love with me and we really are alike. Umm…because I was a lot of exceptions for a lot of lesbians. I really was and I saw their beauty and I wanted it and they liked me and we slept together and Jack should’ve put two and two together and realized that, you know, it probably wasn’t just his imagination to think that Lacey could’ve seduced Lem if he was attracted to women at all.” says Joe. “But that’s that’s not even what happened. He seduced her and he would have. He finds her very attractive and he’s straight and no they’re not demisexual, but they really are very deep people and they would have fallen in love and she’s not a typical Kennedy wife. I’m sorry if that’s hard for some people to hear but she’s not. And it would’ve it would’ve happened that…he would’ve seen her sadness and they would’ve just been drawn together like magnets and started making love. …That wasn’t a gay scene. He wouldn’t have seemed gay around her. He would’ve seemed very straight and they would’ve just been drawn to each other very passionately. It looks entirely straight. I’m sorry, Jack.” says Joe.

“And you would’ve you would’ve found out or she wouldn’t have told you?” asks a journalist.

“If Jack wasn’t demanding sexual favors from Lem using Lem’s deluded ideas about reality… and Jack’s own narcissism, which was off the charts…I think they would’ve wondered what to do. And Lem then would’ve had to decide: ‘Do I want to take this woman and take a chance?’ Because he would’ve understood fully how powerful her father was and mine was and everyone that was involved. ‘Or do I want to play things for the long game? Joe is going to get married to her and he’s not going to expect her to put out so we could probably even have her kids and they could just be mine. And if he can have you know women on the side, do I want to share her at all with him or not?’ And the first thing he told her before they made love…for the first time..when they actually first made love, it was, ‘I don’t want to share you.’ And he meant with anyone, but he may have specifically met me. Because he’s dead and if he’s a ghost, and he was trying to tell her that he wouldn’t have shared her with me. Because he’s dead so he knew this conversation was going to happen because the truth is no jack would’ve been our problem and if it wasn’t for Jack trying to get things out of him, there may not have been a problem and then it would’ve been, ‘Do I share her with Joe or not?’ and no he wouldn’t have wanted to share with anyone.” says Joe.

“So it isn’t some drunken scene where he decides to experiment or something or she comes on to him in some desperate way or really almost at all?” asks a gay man.

“No no that’s not what it what would’ve happened.” says Joe.

“You slept with Katharine Hepburn and she was probably straight and I bet you slept with other people too like you said who were lesbians. Or at least that’s how they would’ve categorized themselves, even if they were really technically bisexual, and they just had very few exceptions. And yeah I can see you maybe are like you’re both very daring sexually…but she is a Christian and she’s a woman and it’s different. And maybe that’s actually a good thing even if it’s a bad thing. So to you and Lacey though, this conversation is probably totally asinine. Is that true?” asks a Gen. X feminist. “I mean first of all, if there is an Illuminati she knows as well as a lot of psychics do, who are responsible, that we can’t guarantee everything that we hear from the spiritual side of things. So she doesn’t know for a fact that this is reality. I think she has enough faith in God to treat it like that to some extent, but then that’s a religious issue. But historically, factually this is not not facts, but it’s not fact either and I get that I get the concept. …But while I’m still I’m still tracking I I do-I don’t understand it because that’s not my experience with gay men and I have a feeling it’s hers that she finds all the bisexual ones and you probably did too among women because you both are very attractive, and I have a feeling that there’s no photographic evidence that really does her justice and I don’t know about you. You were not-you might have been extremely attractive too…yeah you really are. I am looking at a picture of you you were extraordinarily attractive. And I have a feeling it was the way you moved and the way you talked too and the way you smelled and your intelligence and your athleticism yeah, you’re probably frighteningly attractive.” she says.

“That’s so correct.” says Joe.

“But that’s not our experience. So you two talk to each other and you’re just like, ‘Umm that’s what happened!’ and you’re like, ‘Umm…yeah I get it!’ But we don’t get it…so I could you explain just a little more what the differences are or what actually happened?” she asks.

“First of all, I was a sexual aggressor in our generation mad really were more commonly the sexual aggressor. So with bisexual women, I could seduce them with my looks, with my charm, with my intelligence, and with the way that I made them feel about themselves. I could get in their head and turn them on. And I wasn’t the slightest bit bothered by their same-sex attraction because to me, it just had nothing to do with me. They were a woman, I was aroused, I wanted to make something happen and I did. And a good number of them felt very complimented by the fact that I still saw their femininity and cherished it. Actually, especially Catherine because some men made a big deal out of that and I didn’t. I thought she was very beautiful and I still do I cheated on Lacey with Katharine. We were in love, and I loved it. I loved her mind, I always loved her mind. I still do it and might not mean as much to me as Pat…but the thing about women like that is that they’re so strong and yet they’re womanly and I love that combination, Lacey was that spades and yet not in the same way that Katharine is, but no I am straight I just I like a woman who’s…a bit gallant for lack of a better word. But actually, that might’ve been part of the problem Lacey‘s not that gallant it’s too masculine she’s really that feminine.” says Joe. He thinks. “I’m trying to think of a way to explain what happened excuse me.”

Later.

“So you guys really are attached to the idea that Lacey is beneath you somehow and I think that that is major flaw in your analysis of the situation in the last two years. It’s really shitty! And you’re too attached to the idea that Lem was gay partially because he did act gay and I don’t think a lot of the liberals get that you could just act gay, but not really be gay. Just like you can act rich and not really be old money. Suck cock but not really want to have men. Have money and not really be old money.

Because it’s too scary to them to think someone could be that fake. …I just wanted to point that out because the reality is that shape shifters are a conservative conspiracy, but there are Shapeshifter’s that are not obvious and all it requires is a different temperament than most people’s and an unusual amount of intelligence, and a reason to do it.” says a Native American woman in North Dakota.

“So then that means that she saying that Lacey is acting rich but she’s not right?” says a liberal.

“No, no that’s not what that woman is saying if you can hear me telepathically.” says a man.

“Why do you guys do that to yourselves when you could easily just look it up online why don’t you just look it up online and research like a normal person on Google?” asks a reader.

“Our assistants do most of our stuff like that for us. So we rarely ever have to do anything of that nature, and it feels demeaning and defiling to our time to have to bother with something that mundane and rudimentary and common.” says a woman on behalf of the American They in the Illuminati.

“I can’t believe that I can’t believe you guys are really that helpless.” says a reader.

“Well Lacey insists that not all people who are elite are or were of our mindset in the past. But to us it just feels like an imposition.” she says sincerely.

“Well yeah I mean we should be able to do it all telepathically because what’s the point of being able to talk telepathically if you can’t figure things like this out telepathically? Because there are a lot of lies online and we’re supposed to tell each other the truth. …Some people can tell the difference between truth and lies online and yet not everyone can and so then we rely on our psychic interpreters. We rely on our common sense and that’s part of our game that we play with each other at times. But Lacey expects us to be able to go online and some people can but just that everyone should be able to fact-check with like references in their head to Aristotle if necessary.” says a woman in the Illuminati.

“I don’t think it’s that hard to fact check online. I really I don’t think it’s quite that hard to fact check. I think you guys just don’t want to be bothered because it embarrasses you to be wrong about something in that way.” says a reader.

“There are a lot of people who don’t realize that it’s been seven years since this started and treat it like it’s just a common cold that’s gonna go away because if this is real, it’s probably not common to just find the Illuminati on your Twitter feed.” says a gay man.

“How did she find you guys? What do you mean?” asks Stanley Kubrick.

“She decoded us spiritually; it’s complicated. I’ve had some people explain it to me. She essentially read us psychically, but not, it’s complicated. But it has to do with coding of language and it sounds schizophrenic like John Nash or something in the movie A Beautiful Mind but it’s not. It’s more that she saw a pattern and in a way it’s like him because she does with the words what he did with numbers. And she sees patterns and emotions and numbers are not a mix with emotions but emotions and words are and so that’s her forte. It’s the combination of words and emotions possibly words and music and emotions even but the point is and images she says she saw it and then she just studied over time to figure out if she was seeing something real and she realized it was real and then she didn’t realize what it was. She thought it was just people talking to each other in some secret silly way, because it was just famous people talking to each other that she noticed, but then we started talking to her because it’s psychic partially. And I am of the mind that we shouldn’t have done that and that that was on us when we started talking to her. But there are people who say that that’s what we do we talk to people dead and alive and that’s part of what we do. That’s part of how we control things so when she introduced her spirit through, you could say accidental astral projection because it wasn’t intentional, we saw her spirit and ended-up talking to her, and I still think we didn’t have to. ..Anyway, just ask the Asmats I guess because it just pisses me off.” says the gay man.

“Why are you guys so set on JFK being the first gay president with Lem? I think it’s far more likely that we’ve had bisexual presidents, and that Lincoln was probably one of them.” says a reader. “I bet he was tempted to cheat with men, but he loved his wife and I wouldn’t even be surprised if she knew that and for all you know she was bisexual too. Maybe they both were. But that’s not something that any of you would ever contemplate is it.”

“Alright so here’s what happened. When I came onto a woman who hadn’t slept with any man other than me once she was overwrought by her attraction to me. And she doubted it for I don’t know…maybe the first 30 minutes of foreplay. But then after that, I kissed her and I brought her close to me and held her and started to make love to her and her body just responded and she said, ‘Oh Joe let’s just make love.’ That would be an example of a woman who really was queer with me.

That’s not what happen with Lacey and Lem. He would have been watching her analyzing her and some degree vice versa for a while. Hours, days, weeks hopefully not years.

Whereas Lacey and Lem…I am away cheating and she’s waiting for me to come home to see me…and we’re supposed to be serious…and Lem loses his patience and it’s not because he’s drunk. It’s because he finds her too attractive and they’re too in love for him not to do something and I mean if he was straight, he was sex starved. I don’t know what you want me to say I’ve already said that several times and people don’t want to hear it. That doesn’t mean it’s not true. It just means that it’s confusing and scary to them. There are a lot of gay men who like to think that they pass as straight or bisexual men who like to think that they pass as straight to Lacey snd other people. That they don’t they still seem gay to her or anyone else. And then there are a lot of gay men who like to think that you could never exaggerate gay mannerisms, that they’re just somehow inborn but that’s absolute bullshit. There is a vibe that bisexual and gay men have and pansexual, but it isn’t just gay mannerisms. Those can sometimes be authentic but a lot of times they’re faked…just like how women affect their voice to sound sexier.

It’s not all real…get a grip. And sometimes maybe it is. And for some people it is. …But for most gay people it’s a façade, and they might really be gay or bisexual, but that probably isn’t their natural way of speaking.

What happened with them was that he went shopping with her and probably at one point was in a dressing room with her and she assumed that it didn’t mean anything because Lacey is very smart and she would’ve thought at first that he was gay even in the 1940s or 50s. There were many gay men in Hollywood and I’m sure she would’ve known some. Her aunt had a haute couture clothing store that catered to moviestars I have a very strong suspicion she would’ve known some gay men and known their mannerisms and thought, ‘Oh, Lem is just gay and I’ve I’ve undressed in front of gay men before, I’ve done fittings. Maybe he even has an opinion on how this dress fits.’ And in the process of examining her body he would’ve developed an appetite, we’ll say. And it would’ve been in this very Marilyn Monroe type of way except Lacey is not Marilyn, and she would have accidentally aroused him.

And no, he would’ve restrained himself as he did with many other women. But they would’ve gotten along very well and so then when they’re done shopping and they’re tired and they’re putting things away presumably in her suitcase and she’s pestering him he’s exhausted. So…so he lays on her bed genuinely exhausted and she’s exhausted too and so she just lays next to him and they start talking, and then Lem gets an idea in his head and just decides to roll over and start making love to her.” says Joe. “And I’m sure part of it is just what would this be like and nothing much is going to happen. She’s probably not gonna find me that attractive. But..I wonder-I also think he would’ve really known what he was doing…because Lem’s not stupid. And she was in love with him, but she was trying not to be, and he was more in love with her than she was with him, but she was in love with him enough that…no they just start making love and then that’s the end of me.”

“So Lem you got a whiff of the chocolate cake and you thought, ‘I’ll just take a little slice. Just a little slice!’ And…Joe just left it sitting there and you thought ‘There’s no way he’s just leaving it sitting here! I’m starving!’ Except he really was and you thought, ‘So what’s the harm in just taking a little slice. Just a tiny little slice, just a slice.’ And then there goes Lem. Because he was probably extremely hungry, poor thing. And so then no he took a slice because she’s not cake and the cake said, ‘Please eat me! I want to be eaten!’ and so he’s like, ‘What?! The cake wants me to eat it just me alright, then that’s OK. Because that’s between me and the cake.’” says a gay man. “And suddenly we would’ve seen that Lem was a straight man if he was straight and that probably would’ve left Jack flabbergasted not really anyone else, though which is interesting.”

“You know, I think a woman that could discover the Illuminati could probably figure out that Lem was straight, if he was an extraordinarily rare exception, historically speaking. Or was he that rare? Are there a lot of people like that that Lacey can somehow detect because as someone else said she sees patterns. And if she focuses on detail and nuance to that extent that she could find the Illuminati even in a story the concept is possible…she probably could sense that he was straight. And I have a feeling that’s common to her to see the exceptions. I mean F. Scott Fitzgerald figured out that Sheila Graham was a fraud. And she had a lot of people fooled. They believed her and if the whole gay rights movement had hinged on Sheila Graham being a British aristocrat, don’t think it would’ve been easy for F. Scott Fitzgerald to have that conversation with her. But people do lie people, people do make mistakes. And things do happen. There there are many exceptions and that’s part of what The Great Gatsby is actually about. And yet they are exceptions and sometimes they can be great and sometimes they can be tragic. Sometimes they could be both. But you can’t make these assumptions safely. Some assumptions are fairly safe to make, and should be made but you can’t make too many assumptions, especially when it comes to someone’s safety or national security or leader ship of a secret society that requires an incredibly sane mind. I don’t think it’s weird to think that one might’ve actually been straight and faking being gay if Lacey sees it and she’s not even the one who came up with it, he told her that. That’s not something we talk about it at this wasn’t Lacey’s idea. She thought he was bisexual or pansexual, or that he somehow it becomes straight in the afterlife in Purgatory.

I repeat: Lacey thought that he was bisexual, pansexual, or that he had somehow become straight in purgatory. That was what she originally thought was happening when she first was falling in love with him. And in her novel, that’s what he was going to be bisexual but in love with her more than Jack. But then she heard some one tell her that he was straight, simile him or him and someone and people the illuminati attach themselves to that thinking that they found someway to attack her. And whether that’s because they thought Oldham can’t possibly be straight, this is gonna ruin everything and we can torture her with us. Steal her teddy bear. Treat her like some sort of child hostage because I think there are a lot of boomers in illuminati who like to think of Lacey that way even though she’s basically a 40 year old woman, she’s 39. But they don’t like to think of millennials as grown-ups anyway. And the problem is she probably was confused by it but it could’ve actually been him telling her that in a way that she couldn’t hear like this is what really happened but it’s really hard to believe let’s not talk about it just let’s just go with me being bisexual or even pan. And if he was straight, God was just like no you were straight and we’re gonna get into a discussion now.

If he was straight, she doesn’t know, but if he was straight, oh boy, he told her that, and it’s actually been one long history of lamb Lassen for over a year now of her, asking him questions, and him happily answering her lovingly answering her, and I was just saying that’s not true that’s not real no, no no. And her trying to be humble and open and submissive to God saying OK well, maybe it’s true I don’t know that’s forgot to figure out I got already knows rather that’s what she said. And she’s just going with whatever God shows her because that’s what she does in. This whole thing is confusing to her anyway. Anne has been out for about seven years. But she’s like OK he’s not bisexual. He’s straight and that’s confusing to me too but I’m figuring it out and she listened. Probably literally dozens of times to the recording of him and Jack and excruciatingly so putting herself through the ringer, emotionally and ways that I don’t even know if some of your capable of. And she hears the difference between his voice and an actual gay or bisexual, or pansexual man’s voice. He sounds straight and a lot of you don’t wanna think she even has a brain so it’s hard for you to hear her say that. Are you and I think she’s a child and she’s stupid or just a child but she’s not. She’s an extraordinarily intelligent in Ford year-old woman, and she’s analyzing in a way that I don’t even know if you guys are intellectually capable of with your dishonesty. And it’s left the United States. Vulnerable because Ploen thinks y’all are losers and that lens probably just right now. Either way. I know there are a lot of people in the world that see it that way unfortunately for you or not.” says a CIA agent.

“You guys think you’re the moral majority of the whole universe and that you can speak on my behalf, and that is fundamentally untrue.” says Lem.

“ but as I was saying, you don’t get it. He told her he was straight. He may be even adamantly insisted that he was straight over a year ago. and it has been one long process of him explaining know that’s a mannerism that’s not real look at my feet look at my legs look at my hands isn’t that weird? And what else does it seem like? I wanna fuck you right now!?” says that CIA agent. “ maybe we’ve clocked it and you guys have two but you don’t like it she’s getting aroused by him when she looks at him, she doesn’t get aroused by gay men. Pete doesn’t arouse her her. His husband doesn’t arouse her maybe very slightly but that’s because he might be very slightly bisexual. But it’s very slight and it’s not. I mean nothing really has probably ever happened and honestly if it has, there’s your proof that he’s not 100% gay. And that was a while ago that was probably over a year ago and honestly it was an accident for both of them and I don’t even think anything really happened but I think in conversation he was maybe trying to explore his heterosexual side with her and then something happened and some thing was said and they both were affected and then they just stop talking because it was getting too weird. That’s barely anything and it was more of an accident. I’m sure they’ve recovered and they’re fine now it was an accident whether they should’ve recovered or not. It was it was it was an accident either way. But the point is there are probably a lot of technically bisexual. People in both straight and gay communities. And I don’t know if Lem really was bisexual. I have a feeling that Mike might’ve been. I don’t know that Lem was.

Yeah, it was like what the heck just happened I’m a roast they both said, and then that was the end of their conversation. And I might even be funny, because nothing happened and it was an accident and I have empathy for that. But I don’t think that’s what happened with One, and I think he was trying to explain to her that he was straight if he was straight, and that just his entire persona was a sham.” says the CIA agent.

“ except I’m really is a sweetheart that was not fake.” says his sister.

“ yeah, I believe that.” says a man. “ but the point was that she isn’t really aroused by gay men she gets aroused by straight men, and that was probably what long was trying to tell her was that he was like is that weird I’m arousing to you maybe that’s because I was strays, and I was actually micro signaling for a female attention, and no one read it.”

“ how did no one read it?” asks a Boomer.

“ well, I would’ve if I was a woman. It is possible Jack did too.” says Joe. “ and that was part of his sadistic prank was that he really thought Lem’s actually could be with a woman, and that was part of it was so exciting to him as a malignant narcissist.”

“ yeah, a lot of the account of Lem’s rests on a malignant narcissistic perspective of him and that’s the problem. There’s very little excepted story of lamb being straight, because that ruins the narrative.” says Mrs. Koppelman.

“people are far more clever than we want to admit. And it’s not just because they ‘woke.’” says Lem.

“ so she truly sees what you’re saying when you tell her that oh this is just a matter is it she truly sees it?” asks JFK in denial.

“ yeah if that’s really all that it was Jack she sees it too just like you and I didn’t at times in private conversation when you try to say to me that’s not real that’s not your real voice. Why do you talk that way? And I’d say that’s just how I feel as though I should speak I want to be honorable. And you would think that was absurd if I could act straight I should act straight, but you didn’t question it to far did you because if you had you might’ve talked me into getting married to a woman and you never did that you never tried to talk me into marrying a woman the conversation always ended right before you have to start doing that to be a good friend. Or to be accountable for what you were doing, and make sense of it in a rational adult way. You always just said I support you. It’s fine I support you being gay that’s cool go ahead because if you’d questioned it too much more I might’ve stopped and you didn’t really want that you wanted me to be gay so you pretended to be supportive, but in reality, you desperately needed me to be gay, and you cultivated that narrative in my mind in a weird subtle ways that I’m sure you think we’re super clever to Lacey they probably seem stupid although she probably wouldn’t hold against me that I could notice what you were doing because what was I supposed to be doing babysitting you? We were supposed to be the same age I was supposed to be your equal wasn’t supposed to be your father you fuck wad!” says Lem. “ there are many photos at your wedding where I look like your father the way I have my hands on your shoulder. I look proud of you not in love with you. And I was proud of you in a weirdly paternal way. And it wasn’t because I was in love with you or attracted to you. It was because I literally felt so much paternal towards you because you were such a child all the time. And I let it go because I thought that’s just the nature of our relationship that gay relationship we were having that I would be more of a man and you’d be kind of the fuck you know a woman or some thing I don’t know. But no I wasn’t your husband you weren’t my wife I wasn’t your dad you were just expecting me to take care of you and watch you all the time or some thing like some sadistic freak. Because you were an adult jack you were an adult and I was your age.

I wasn’t Jackie‘s father-in-law. Joe was her father-in-law, and he found her attractive I vaguely did, but not that much. No, I thought I had a friend I thought I cared about you. I thought I loved you. I didn’t realize until later that I loved a man who didn’t exist and the little that I actually loved you wasn’t love it was it was agape love, and you tricking me into thinking that we were friends. And it’s not easy for her to believe that I really just misunderstood our friendship and thought it was a real forget me be in love with you I thought we had a friendship that wasn’t real. I just loved you as a person probably wanted to love you as a friend and then you blew it for being a total asshole and pulling into thinking that you were some of that possibly never even existed. Do you know Jack whenever me and That check whenever purposely try to ruin that experience for me or room that date or room that job or he didn’t read it that way when he said that to Jackie over dinner but you did you did meet all those things you were trying to demobilize me from ever leaving you. And then people exonerating you because you were the little golden boy thought it was me that there was something wrong with me that I was just a flop of a human being.

Why doesn’t he seem gay enough? Why is he gay if he’s straight? Why doesn’t ever do anything with his life? He seems intellectual, but he doesn’t at the same time you what is wrong with him he’s like a nobody do you know why she said that she said that because she was offended that I wasn’t more attracted to her she was offended that you were probably in love with me and cheating on her.

And that’s the thing I didn’t necessarily initially think that you would cheat on Jackie with me, but I thought if this is what he hast to do to be faithful, that’s what he hast to do and somehow it all works out he sleeps with me occasionally we were really sleeping together, but I do things for him occasionally, and then he sleeps with women and I didn’t think you were an exception I just I thought as in love with him as she is she knows what he’s she’s getting herself into to some extent. And I think she knew that I was servicing you and she just thought well I don’t know that’s just weird, but it was just like an eccentric habit and I cared about hurting her feelings a lot more than you did. You didn’t give two shits, and I might’ve tried to explain that to her believe it or not that you just didn’t care, but that’s just who you were that you had a hard time being faithful. And she she didn’t like that but she was in love with you and she thought OK well I’ll just let it go.

I have never slept with a woman. And I thought that Jackie had, and that it was very hard if you were gay cause I didn’t believe in by sexuality, I thought there was only gay and straight. I thought all gay men probably were bisexual. And so I thought you know Jack can’t do it you can’t be faithful to women and that’s OK. He just needs me to be helpful to him as a friend and I didn’t do it because I was in love with him I didn’t do it because I was attracted to him. I helped him cheat because I thought that it was rational. I thought that he needed to have some male sexual interaction more than I did actually well I didn’t need it at all but I could tell that he needed it I didn’t, but I could tell that he did. And so I thought well I can do this. There were women that he was with or I did back off, and I tried to be as distant as possible. Inga might’ve been one of them. But Jackie was for the presidency. I thought she might’ve been a Golddigger. And I knew he was probably sleeping with other men too. That’s the thing I didn’t think he was being faithful to me, but I just thought that I was being faithful to my first love. As much as a you know, decrepit, gay man could be because I knew that he was gonna have to probably Maria woman, but it was just like well he’s not that love and he’s not being faithful to her. He wants to sleep with lots of other women, and better them than me. Really I often tried to get women for him because I didn’t want to sleep with him myself and I should’ve just ended the friendship and realize that I was enabling him to hurt people. I actually didn’t make exceptions for them. I thought he was a terrible person at a certain level. And in someways, I was being held hostage, if you want to know the honest truth. They describe me as a hangar otter. No, I knew were all the bodies were buried so they had to sit in some ways they had to keep me on retainer against my will. But mostly, I was just checking his dick. Take sure Jack I’ll get you off, knowing that there are other men that the women that it was hurting people. I was just sure Jack that’s what you need. I’ll be your friend. Sure, I’ll do that sure.

And you may ask your self how in good conscience could I have done that and been a decent honorable man? It wasn’t love it wasn’t friendship it was to some degree death threats against my family or against me. Made by JP against me in private when he was explaining things to me. You’ve got to be my friend you’ve got to do with my son asks you to do every time or you and your family will end up dead so basically suck my kids Cocker I’ll kill you. But sudden much more delicate nuanced terms. But I still had the choice I could’ve just said kill me I don’t give a shit which is what I should’ve said if that was actually said to me. Not I’ll give you millions just shut up. I should’ve said then. Just kill me. Don’t kill my family but just kill me.

But in a sense you could say I thought it’s not that bad I’m just his friend. He just needs me to help him and it was Lacey and I know we really are that honorable and so she asked question rightfully why didn’t I just let him kill me. well aside from fear for the welfare of my family… which is possibly some thing that they don’t know. They… found someone who believed in true love. And I truly was trying to be Jack’s one true love I screwed up and deformed as we both were. I never enjoyed being with him. It never worked out. But I really thought he’s mine and I have to be loyal to him. I have to be there for him. I have to nurture him take care of him, walk him through his life contribute to the Kennedy experience. They don’t need to threaten me, even though they may be did. And if he really fell in love, if he really wanted to be faithful to just her then I’ll back off work presumably just him. But that never happened either and I might have backed off with anger and maybe a few other women possibly grays to believe it or not. And maybe at first I did with Jackie ha I was smiling at their wedding for a reason if anything happened I thought well that’s the last time he’s going to be faithful to her now, or if anything happens, will just wean him off of it or something but then he called asking for sex a week or two into their marriage and I said no but then he kept persisting and I did hold off but I thought it’s OK it’s just a thing we can you know work with it and I tried. I tried to wean him off and date other men but now it’s just never worked out and I thought all right that’s OK, he’s my first love and yes it’s what I mean by that is just that was my first sexual experience. I might’ve experimented, but maybe not to the extent that jacked it with me you know I might’ve grab some what are they grab me or something um, we had oral and, well I gave him well. I hated when he touched me I really did and I I never I never wanted it and so I didn’t get it. It wasn’t him saying I don’t wanna do that. Lame air was more him saying I don’t want to do that one. I’m not gay and me saying that’s fine. I don’t want it either. And yes, of course I thought that I was still gay. I just thought I didn’t like sex with men even though I was gay and I thought I could do it with a woman, but just part of all the prostitute idea became any idea for us I need a way to sleep with him, but he probably thought she was supposed to be our goal between. But no, I thought I just didn’t like sex even though I like sex. So it’s like I’m a sexual no I’m not I just I’m not gay but I thought I was. So I was completely fine for servicing him even though I thought he was a liar and that he was doing that to pretend to be straight because he was it allowed him to think he was straight and it allowed me not to have to engage with him, but I didn’t include that because I didn’t like talking about that because I thought that made me seem more straight and I was quite sure it was K and I didn’t want to talk about being molested. I didn’t want to talk about all of it because it was disturbing to me. Because I was straight and molested. So it allowed Jack to think he was gay. It allowed me space of not having to be touched by a man and so that’s what we did he would get off I would get him off I thought that was just me being loyal to my first, true love because before him I hadn’t had oral with anyone, and it’s possible that he tried to give me oral and it repulsed me because I’m straight and I was straight. If he had been sleeping with Lacey, OK that’s hard to talk about because it’s disturbing but I probably would’ve tried to have threesomes to be honest regularly. Oh, and then it would’ve just been her and I eventually I’m sorry I’m sorry Jack. I stole your wife because I’m straight and I am. I just didn’t like Chris Kelly that much anger was somewhat attractive, but we didn’t really have chemistry. We we would’ve though we would’ve had threesomes her and I and Jack and Haley primarily just been sleeping with her and Jackman have known what to do with that but he would’ve tried to work with it. Almost guarantee you. I wasn’t that attracted to Jackie. And no, I would have felt bad that he was cheating on her the way that I did with Jackie because I thought Jackie was kind of a mean bitch. And I would’ve thought no Lacey’s actually getting hurt. She’s not a caddy asshole. He’s just after their money and I would have probably just thought forget it so those books about Jackie and me that’s someone mocking Lacey because that’s definitely not about Jackie and when I said nice things about Jackie yeah I was lonely I was falling for her slightly, but I did like parts of her personality or her character or her body or her mind, there are times I thought about killing myself because of how much pain she was in. But I never did it for sexual gratification as hard as it is to believe I always did it, because I was a romantic, idealistic, eccentric person who thought that I was just being loyal to my first love is extraordinarily hard as it is to believe. But no, I never wanted to have a threesome with Jackie and we never did or Ethel or Joanne and intriguingly if Joe had been alive and brought Lacey home I would’ve realized that I was straight because I would’ve realize that I wasn’t attracted to Joe, but I was attracted to Lacey but no one was ever brought home in that weight in that family. I’m sorry Jackie was flat chested she didn’t have curves her face was not nearly as pretty as Lacey is an apple was the same way and Joe really wasn’t that hot either. All of Jack’s girlfriends were either bitches or they were somewhat ugly in someway. I’m sorry.

And the truth is, it’s still bothers Lacey that I didn’t care more about other peoples feelings but no, it really was because I thought I have to be faithful and loyal to this man. I committed to him as much as a gay man can commit to any other man and his sexual deranged fold up state. And we know we can’t be with women that’s not right Jackie chooses to be I can’t stop him. He wants to be to be president. He seems to be no fall in love with him and my parents think that I should be with a woman that’s some people think and I don’t think that’s right it’s my personal conviction that as a gay man that’s wrong. But Jack has political purposes, and if he can correct himself somehow by sleeping with women, then maybe we can set him straight or you know sometimes when he’s high, he really is attracted to Jackie. The time is that is so he’s high or if I can just get him to sleep with more women you know it’s like braces. We can fix his brain, but I’ll just of stain know that Lacey had been there. I went out of state it’s true I would have been able to abstain Does Jack would’ve thought it was a great idea to have a threesome and oh that’s awful but I would’ve slept with her and then that would’ve been the end of the relationship. That is possibly not something that Jack has analyzed so that that’s the end of this conversation for a while we’ll talk more tonight hopefully.” says Lem.

Later.

“I never liked Jackie. I didn’t hate well. How do I say this? I didn’t hate her I didn’t like her. I found her abrasive. She was difficult. I thought if Jack didn’t love the woman that I had her right to question it to a point. And that he was mine really but only to appoint and then you know if you found someone really great I would let go because I really wouldn’t have it right to hang on because that’s not the way we’re supposed to be. But so then there were some women that I would try to be more careful with if Jack was dating them. Hi it’s sad no I I don’t think we should see each other this weekend Jack or I would just refused to suck his cock like no you should be asking Jean to do that not me, and in some peoples case they would put out And so then it wasn’t really a problem but in Jackie‘s case she, Siri put out for him the way that he wanted and so then he’d come asking me and I thought she had a right to do that but then he’s come asking me. That actually might’ve been one of the reasons I didn’t like her was that she made me get them off and I didn’t want to. That sounds like a contradiction but it’s not because it wasn’t about sex. It wasn’t about companionship it was about some sense of propriety and honor that I had and so when I sucked his cock, it was mechanical and it didn’t do anything for me at all, but even emotionally I just felt as though that was my duty has his one, and only true love in my imagination. So it was different. Every time it was different every woman that he dated it was different some I would say I don’t think we should hang out because then you know something might happen. I might’ve thought, but really if so, if I did, just know what to see him that weekend, then, you know I don’t know have fun sailing or something I would just think well I’ll just have to say no when I did but it was some women if they didn’t put it out and he needed help or he thought he needed it and I believed him I thought, OK, you physically need it Then I would put out for medical reasons so you know because I thought he needed it.

no really that might’ve been one of the reasons I didn’t like Jackie because I thought Boldt what is she doing? She just she doesn’t care about him at all. She doesn’t understand that he needs it. and no, I constructed this idea in my head where he needed it for physical reasons and probably emotional reasons too but I didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about that because I didn’t want that from him and I was never in love with him in that way I try to be at first, I tried to love him anything we could egg but I am I lost interest in that after about the first year or two of being his friend and then I just realize that I couldn’t feel that for him romantically at all. And I gave up on that idea between us. I thought I don’t have romantic feelings for him that I would have for a woman I thought there was love her, but that it was the kind of love that mattered only be capable of for each other, which is just the sort of Camaraderie that I never thought love was him likely to ever amount to anything all that grand between a man and women anyway, but certainly not between two men. When I said, I loved him my whole life that’s what I meant that I loved him in this camaraderie sort of friendship way and I later regretted that statement for a lot of reasons, but certainly because I realize that that wasn’t really love that I was never really in love with him.

No, I didn’t want to put up. I was mad at Jackie that she made me a silly as that might sound. If Lacey had been there, I would’ve backed off, but then she would’ve wanted to go deeper with him and he would’ve started to get scared. And I would’ve been called to help. And Lacey would’ve automatically know what was going on even if she could put it into words. And then we would have fallen in love. Jack wouldn’t have cared because she would’ve made him not nervous the more I think about it I think she would’ve just made him nervous and he would’ve been glad to just get rid of me and I would’ve been glad to go.

It might seem strange that I slept with him, but I didn’t really wanna sleep with him, but I really just side as like work and it’s like why was an I am more attracted to other people I just wasn’t. I just wasn’t that attracted to that any vehicle, I really am not picky of a man. No I’m very picky but it isn’t picky. It’s just I know what I like. That sounds absurd but I actually really did. I knew what I like. I just don’t think I could have it or shed. No there was anyone quite likely see other people who looked like her, but they weren’t exactly her, I just thought Jack needed help and I just wanted to help him. You know I need socks I need socks lame Jack is not putting out. She doesn’t get me off or I need socks lol I’m at Jackie‘s busy or I don’t have a funeral so then it’s like OK Jack let’s find some women for you because I don’t want to do it, you know sometimes it was that I was dating someone that wasn’t going well anyway but other times it was just that I really didn’t want to do it. And you might ask yourself why would you do that you know why would you do that well because I really am that self restraint, and I didn’t think he was as good of a man as me and that way I didn’t think I was uptight, but I thought I was a better man than him. And I may have had some classist explanations for that. Which seems contradictory. But I was just screwed up. I wasn’t quite that much of a contradiction as a person by nature.” says Lem.

Silence.

“More later.” says Lem.

Later.

People need to stop threatening Lacey. Maybe there isn’t an Illuminati. I really hope there isn’t. I really hope she’s just mildly psychotic talking to ghosts. That would actually be a far happier scenario because it would mean that these are just demons not people that are harassing her. She’s seen so many things that are supernatural, but that could be attributed to an illuminati if it existed and she’s seeing things that are supernatural that couldn’t be like things, moving or hearing Elliott’s voice before she never heard his voice. But I am tired of it because during her entire dentist appointment, she was harassed by people demons who insist that I was gay just a tiny bit or the jack somehow made me gay just a tiny bit and before that they’re insisting that I am evil in someway that’s a betrayal of her trust in me as a human as her lover, as her husband essentially for eternity. And the problem is it’s not fair. I can’t fully explain myself. I can explain somewhat, but not as much as she deserves, or possibly as much as I even deserve to be able to. And so all she knows is what she knows and I’d like to explain a little more but first I’d like to point out that she word Jo Malone, English, oak and hazelnut and her x-ray tech absolutely adored it. The woman usually wears poison by Dior, but she thought Jo Malone, English oak and hazelnut was Really good.” says Lem. He laughs.

“I didn’t take Jack from other women. I never tried to steal him back, and I didn’t invite myself over if I did it certainly wasn’t with the intent of sucking his cock and if it was, it was an attempt to try to be gay sometimes I would tell myself all of this time I might like it, I know maybe with an ex-boyfriend it’ll be better but not really I never really thought it would be that much better I think I thought maybe if I fell love more with someone, it would be better or if I could fall more in love with Jack, you’ll be better, but truthfully, I I just sort of acquiesced to it. I just thought that it was my lot life. I didn’t think that I was ever going to be that happy. Or that satisfied to use a euphemism. Because how could I be I couldn’t be I really I just couldn’t be. I was straight, and there was no way I could be satisfied with what was going on with Jack or anyone else.”

Money Today

Apparently Tori Spelling inherited less than Lacey might, technically. But…Tori Spelling inherited $800,000.00. In the 2000’s.

September by Sparky Deathcap plays.

…”Tori Spelling is poor now!” says a woman on TikTok.

The thing is…$800,000.00 isn’t…nothing. If Lacey inherited $800,000.00 today…you’d hate her. Thoroughly loathe her.

But…Aaron Spelling was worth $500,000,000.00. in Hollywood. And Lacey was raised in Minnesota and while the oil might be actually worth billions…it’s…collectively shared in an old money family from North Dakota. So…Lacey knows how to use $800,000.00 very cautiously and meticulously. Whereas Tori, being new money from Hollywood…did not…and yet…didn’t have to anyway…for most of her life.

Lacey looks…scary. Because she is. Tori…likely isn’t an idiot…but…old money skills are not easily acquired in adulthood…and…so…she made $800,000.00 look like nothing.

…Of course, the truth is…it looks weird that Tori only inherited $800,000.00. Very weird. Inappropriate, actually. …Cruel. She should have inherited $70,000,000.00 or so. If her family wanted to be conservative. The “Boomer” trend of leaving your kids with nothing after spoiling them into impairment their whole life…is…abusive, sick and twisted in Lacey’s personal opinion.

Of course…Lacey experienced the exact opposite. Her parents were…very careful with money…and exceedingly spartan in their living choices as people. Deciding on art and post secondary teaching as career paths…and then deciding to be missionaries instead…and then…flailing with that for the rest of their lives. They have amazing work ethic…but…they never did anything lucrative. They’re conservative with their money…but they’re also foolish or at least questionable at times in serious ways. …Lacey is still shocked by what she inherited to be honest. Her measly $250,000.00. And…if she inherits more…she’ll be shocked then too.

See…Tori wasn’t prepared for her life. But neither was Lacey.

When Tori was being given millions and millions and millions of Dollars for most of her life…she wasn’t being told to be careful. She wasn’t being trained to be scared of losing it. …When Lacey was dreaming of Vassar…her father was viciously mocking her for doing so and telling her to go to community college because “That’s what our family can afford!” he said cruelly. Lacey would have loved to major in art history…but…her parents didn’t say it wasn’t for her…but rather that she’d be poor if she majored in art history or history…or art…or English.

Tori needed money from her family to be functional…the way they raised her. It seems. Lacey…on the other hand…was also given a horribly false view of reality.

Love (Fade) by Tamaryn plays.

Lacey already was…terrified of becoming evil. She still is. By nature. …The truth is…by abusing her psychologically the way her parents did…they exhausted and paralyzed her mentally when it came to her education. She ignored her instincts and…never graduated…because…it didn’t matter to her that she was deeply unhappy. And she always thought she could just do what she had always done, which was to force herself to grin and bear her pain without letting herself feel it. Not through drugs or alcohol or money or even the goodness of real unconditional love…but through sheer force of will.

And…of course…Lacey’s will has been worshipping Christ since she was two years old. As all of our wills should be.

…But…even with God’s unconditional love…humans still need other humans. That’s how God created us.

Suspirium Finale by Thom Yorke plays.

“All was well…as long as they kept spinning.” says Lem. “But then Tori got cut off and Lacey couldn’t be poor.”

“What do you mean, ‘She couldn’t be poor?’” says a hater.

“She can’t.” says Lem. “She is essentially allergic to it. She had opportunities to be…but…it thoroughly repulsed her.” He thinks. “Her parents really are old money.”

“What happened?” asks someone.

“She…was going into debt…and still could…but she gets terrified. And then…she spends very wisely. She takes risks…but…there’s money there…and she’s already worried. Even with her expensive tastes. So she…overcompensates.” says Lem. “She is totally detached from material possessions outside of their use in warfare. Literally.” He thinks. “She enjoys things but only with the thought of some horrible epic war in mind.”

“Tori spends always thinking everything will be okayno matter what…and everyday is her sixth birthday.” says a dead woman.

“Lacey’s cortisol levels must be…scary.” says a man.

“Yes! They have been her whole life.” says Lem.

“They literally messed up the chemicals in their brains.” says a man.

“Well…in their bodies. Yes.” says Lem.

“So Lacey couldn’t finish college why?” asks a woman.

“Because she just…wanted…to sleep. All the time.” says Lem. “She was only ever truly happy when she was asleep.” He thinks. “She couldn’t force herself to stay awake. There was nothing to be awake for.”

“And you don’t mean…like high?” asks another woman.

Heartless by Kanye West plays.

“No. Asleep is different than high.” says Lem. “Lacey wanted to sleep.”

“So…we literally…gave her nothing to live for.” says a hater with fake empathy.

“Yeah! That’s true.” says Lem.

In My Hood by 50 Cent plays.

“No, Aaron would have been scared of Tommy Banks. Even with his money. But…Aaron would have been…confused by the Nesheims. Truly.” says a dead woman.

“See…Lacey has that. Lots of that. That be real. But…she didn’t and doesn’t have star power or hundreds of millions.” says a dead man. “At her easy disposal. Even with the oil…it’s not like she can sell it and be worth hundreds now.” says another dead woman. “But…it’s a dangerous weapon…regardless.”

What’s The Difference by Dr. Dre plays.

“Lacey could possibly start World War III.” says Lem. “And it’s not the grandiosity of a narcissist. It’s self-defense and science…after the Illuminati attacked her. When she accidentally discovered them. …She’s the ‘lady on the plane’…but with an old money Great Gatsby dad. And…possible sanity. And…it’s…real. If it be real…it’s real. …And Tori…is Tori.” He thinks. “That’s not an insult. If she’s sincere.” He thinks. “I’m not nice anymore. You can thank the best friend anyone’s ever had…Jack Kennedy, for that.” He thinks. “That was sarcasm. In case you didn’t see it.”

“So you’re in love with Jack?!??” asks a gay man who’s a Kem holdout.

“No! It was anger! I was angry!!!” yells Lem. “I HATE THE KENNEDY’S!”

“So you’re mocking yourself for always kissing their asses? Huh. Why?” asks a hater.

Lem scowls. “Why wouldn’t I!? I…was absurdly drunk on false humility and self-rejection.” says Lem. “I…tried to make the most of my shoddy life and love Jack…and…Lacey understands. She too was taught to be extremely careful to be kind out of genuine empathy.”

“So…you were worried you would hurt people?” asks a hater of Lem.

“Yes! Always. People do that to Lacey and I both. They act epically offended and hurt whenever we do the slightest thing.” says Lem. “They bully us using our actual empathy. They constantly guilt us. …And parents raised us to be extremely kind already.”

“So you both end up being obnoxiously patronizing. And in Lacey’s case she’s demonized for it. And in your case…people take your saccharine words as objective truth…instead of the sugar coated bullshit it actually was and is. However well intentioned your bullshit is. …And then they miss the biting ironic insult to Jack.” says a Spelling. “I don’t, necessarily. I hear it. You made Jack a friendship…a room in the White House…and historic events. That’s all he is. No life…’living somewhere.’ …And what’s more…you’re subtly questioning it yourself. …There’s no impassioned argument for a happiness you insist you had. It can be read that way. But…why leave it so open to interpretation? That’s…not…a strong defense…of a life.” He rolls his eyes. Scott laughs. Scott wrote in Hollywood for a while.

Mozart Symphony No. 40 plays.

“People don’t often interpret things the way we want. When we most want it. They just don’t. …Scott can easily attest to that. …And to a certain extent I can too. …Of course, I wasn’t writing great American literature for the ages. But…I was…keenly aware that even on my level of intellectual responsibility…there were…frustrating restraints.” says a Spelling. He thinks. “You’re lucky she understands at all! …You were so unclear!” He thinks. “And I refuse to say ‘If Lem was straight.’ Because I’m dead! …And I don’t think that’s right. No!”

“Lem, if you really were that…confused…I’m sorry.” says a gay man crying. “You…belonged to such a different time.”

“Well…young men today could get confused too. Easily. Far more easily than you know. …But…hopefully they’d realize they were wrong far sooner than I did.” says Lem.

“When did you start to wonder if you were just acting?” asks a psychic. “And who were you pretending to be? Who was that character?”

“I was…actually…being Jack. Jack gave me his identity and…then I lost myself in public. …I started to wonder in the late 1970’s. In the years right before my death.” says Lem. “I acted gay…but…at times…I’d…subtly disagree with myself and…do something crazy.” He thinks. “There is a photo of me staring at a hot blond. And I’m actually wondering what it would be like to go to bed with her. You can see it in my eyes. But…my mouth is contorted by force to seem…gay.” He laughs. “Of course…that had happened before. But as I aged I stopped fighting it and let my mind go wild at times. Before…I always wanted to be a Christian gentleman, to describe it in the way applicable today. There was purity culture before Millennial purity culture. And I took that very seriously, as did a great many other men in my generation. …Jack may have been more of an exception than people today realize with his promiscuity. …Anyway…the hot blond wasn’t Lacey. And…there’s always something wrong with other women. They just aren’t her.”

“You’ve told her she killed you.” says a man. “What did you mean by that?”

“I’m sorry!” yells a Spelling.

But Lacey’s parents are…still alive. And silent as the grave to Lacey. Will they go to Purgatory? Heaven? God doesn’t want anyone in Hell.

“She…did.” says Lem.

“How!?” asks Scott.

“If there is reincarnation in the Bible she put me out of misery.” says Lem. “And no, she was never Jack.” He thinks. “But…if there isn’t reincarnation…I died…knowing she was…possible.” He thinks. “I knew she could have lived…and been mine…and wasn’t. And I hated her.” He laughs. “Not the way I hated Jack.”

Gnossiennes (6), For Piano by Erik Satie plays.

“I hated her…for sleeping with other men. Because I knew she had. Or I knew she would. …Because where was she?!? …If I was to die…and find love in Heaven…who…was this woman with?!? Who?!?” says Lem seething. “I couldn’t stand it! …It haunted me.” He thinks. “And she doesn’t believe it…but it made me so mad I finally killed myself over it.”

“Why?!?” asks a psychic, contemplating this idea.

“To spy on her.” says Lem. “To meet her? To get to her.”

“Because you realized if she wasn’t with you…she was putting out for someone else.” says a Spelling.

“But she’s not loose.” says an actress.

Lem glares. “No. You’re right. …But…she isn’t frigid. In marriage. And…it’s nice to feel loved. As a man. And…she’s innocent about it. And…it’s my dinner.” he says bitterly.

“And you starved?” asks a witch.

“I ate tree bark!” yells Lem. He cries. “And I tried not to complain. To have a good attitude about it. Even enjoy it. …But it made me vomit. In one way or another.”

“So you starved?” asks the witch again.

Lem refuses to cry. “Yeah!” he says taking deep breaths.

“So…you…got a spiritual sense you were being…cheated on? And you killed yourself over it? And…possibly blamed Jack?” asks a Millennial psychic.

“Yeah. I…did. …And yet almost nobody would think that today if I wasn’t saying this. If I am. …Because it’s…so different than the widely assumed narrative. And…so…it’s difficult to comprehend as a possible narrative, even. …But…I am saying…possibly…that…I knew she was likely with another man. In my spirit. Right before I died. And it enraged me.” says Lem. “Because…I felt…like…I was being taken advantage of. Not so much by her…but…by…my wasted life and own mistakes. And I couldn’t stand it!”

“Who did you think she was?! And who did you think she was with?!?” ask a Millennial wizard.

“I knew she was like me. But…possibly wiser. Because she always…walks away. …But it’s not out of weakness…it’s the opposite. …Because she loves deeply, faithfully and truly. Forever. But…when someone violates her…she leaves fully and entirely. …And if I was straight…insane…or bisexual…I knew I had fouled-up. I knew I had lost her for correct reasons on her part. It was my mistake. But…I could fix it. And…yet…where was she?!?” he seethes. “With whom?! …Michael Rockefeller is exactly who I might have imagined. Not so much Louis or Harold. I might have worried that Jack had gotten to her first somehow. But I didn’t worry about Jack long-term. No. …It’s a man like Michael I was worried about. …Her ex-husband irritates me too. But…Joe Junior…wasn’t my biggest worry. And he should have been. But…I didn’t think it through that way.” says Lem.

Mendelssohn’s No. 12 In F-Sharp Minor, Op. 30 No. 6 plays.

“Why Joe?” asks a psychic.

“Because he’s…not Jack. And…he’s tall. And brave. And…he might not respect me much at all.” says Lem. “I understand why. But…that doesn’t mean…Lacey is his.”

The song plays.

“I don’t understand. But I’m not dead yet.” says a psychic.

“Be careful. You’re not reading the Bible. It’s…not that certain. It’s…just what it is.” says Scott. “Actually, it terrifies Lacey regardless.”

“So you were in love with her when she was young?!” asks a psychic of Lem.

“Yes! When she saw me…it was mutual love at first sight.” says Lem.

“You two…fell in love? When she was a teenager?!?” asks a psychic.

“Yes! But…she didn’t realize it. Until last night.” he says sadly.

Until last night?!?” asks the psychic, intrigued.

“Yes. She…couldn’t hear it.” says Lem.

“That you could love her?!” asks a psychic, flabbergasted.

“She doesn’t lie.” says Lem. “Yes! She really couldn’t imagine it.” He thinks. “She recorded herself in a swimsuit yesterday…at 40. And…she knows she’s…got a good body. But…she out together the photographic evidence…and her memory of what she used to look like…and…realized how she must have looked before, when she was younger. And…it seemed less illogical last night to think I might have found her attractive. …And I actually don’t want a strong chin line or big breasts.”

“Does she look like Faye Emerson, Betty Grable and Grace Kelly physically?” asks a psychic.

“Forget it! That’s absurd!” says a Mr. Blue. He now claims Lem was gay. So do a few Millennial gay men.

“Yes! Her butt looks like Betty Grable slightly.” says Lem. “And no, her breasts aren’t big…but they’re shaped extremely well.”

Feel It All Around by Washed Out plays.

“Shaped well?!?” asks a gay man.

“Yes! She…looks like…a woman in my generation…but…with a softer, rounder body than Grace Kelly. Sort of like Betty Grable.” says Lem. “But she’s…still a rare beauty…even in my generation.” He thinks. “I don’t like big boobs. I’ve imagined them on Lacey. I don’t like them. I like her.”

“I agree.” says Michael.

“Why!?!” asks a Gen. X man.

A black man tries not to laugh.

Love & Hate (Radio Edit) by Michael Kiwanuka plays.

Demons stand next to Lacey. At attention.

She’d love to go to war with them against evil. They’re good warriors. She can sense it.

But would demons defect? Would they willingly subject themselves to Christ to fight gloriously one last time on the right side? Lacey leaves that to Christ to figure out. God is the only one who knows.

“Batten down the hatches!” yells Joe Jr. at Lacey as a command.

She does. In preparation for battle.

“If we don’t actually fight…this is pointless!” Lacey bites at Joe.

“He holds the fuse.” he says in response.

They stare at each other.

Running Up That Hill plays.

“ I wouldn’t have left you until it was secure, but I would die trying to leave you you know that don’t you?” asks Lacey of Joe.

“ I taught you to be fat feisty and you took it to heart and I find it hilarious, but I also know that you win of course if I had been in the White House, and you’ve been my first lady, it would’ve been established well, knowing fact that you and Lem’s were together, and I had my own other half.” says Joe.

“ you know I really did. Love you.” says Lacey.

“ and I want you to think there’s something wrong with you don’t I?” says Joe.

“ I think you do which probably means that in your eyes there is, but you’re too ashamed to admit that because it makes you feel bad for me.” says Lacey. “ is it my boobs are they too small be honest.”

Joe smiles. “ no that’s not what it is. I actually really have always liked women with your shape for all you know I actually shuffle Betty Grable to cheat on you. You’ve heard that I love you. You’ve heard that I don’t. I did. I think you know that you’re either not hearing correctly I actually really do I do love Pat more..” He thinks.

Later.

“ why are you so nervous when men accuse you of being in love with them and being a golddigger…if you aren’t one.“ says Mr. Blue.

“ I don’t know if you’re sure honestly that’s how I react when I’m innocent. I never get anxious when I’m guilty. Truly, I am probably different than most people live today unfortunately for them in that way. There’s something about being accused of something that I know I haven’t done that just terrifies me.” says Lacey.

“And as much as I might be a pedophile, and so it seems strange for me to say this…but is it triggering of your abuse that you experienced as a child?” asks Mr. Blue of Lacey.

“Yes and no. It’s more a feeling of being totally abandoned. By humanity. Like I’m going to be totally mutilated in every way that humans can possibly imagine in some perverse, disgusting way.” says Lacey.

“Mutilated?!?” scoffs her ex-step-mother-in-law.

“Yes, it’s that bad. I’m sorry if that bothers you to have to hear what you’ve actually done but that’s not my problem, you’re the one that did it. You can be a real dumb bitch.” says Lem to the Gen. X woman.

“See you’re just thinking we’re gonna go way too far and harm ourselves and destroy you and probably the world around us and you’re just like if you feel powerless and out of control but it’s not because you’re guilty it’s because we’re going too far.” says a Boomer to Lacey.

“Exactly, possibly exactly. My former step mother-in-law is like Mr. Blue, and frankly other people who have had delusions that I somehow was after their money, and frankly that I was probably either more or less in love than I really was.” says Lacey.

“Umm…I think women like you don’t really exist in your generation if you’re illegitimate and that’s part of what trips people up. Yeah, and I I tend to think Lem was gay but that’s because I hate you and you’re right I do hate you and it’s just jealousy you’re right it’s entirely just jealousy. If you do you, you confuse people and I think people are dumber than you realize.” says a woman.

“Then why do they make their stupidity my problem? I feel like my entire life I have just been minding my own business, and I have been nothing but imposed upon the entire time.” says Lacey.

“Yeah…you really weren’t impressed with us, but I was too heartbroken by that to be able to handle it so I decided to accuse your entire family of being con artists…which is insane…instead of just being heartbroken.” says the woman.

“I really wasn’t gay…but you would be exactly the kind of person that would still think that I was even if you read this blog occasionally and you might not you might be saying this in the afterlife, but if you read this blog, you’re absolutely right you would or do you probably think that I’m gay.” says Lem. “The problem is though I really wasn’t and Lacey really isn’t a gold-digger. But I would never taken advantage of that. I really wouldn’t have.“ says Lem.

“What do you mean you would’ve never taken advantage of that?” asks a Boomer.

“ her ex-husband has taken advantage of it to be honest. There are a great many things that she’s never asked for that other woman do I ask for those vacations really aren’t what you think they are and it’s amazing how off some people can be. And I would have held down a city job, and I probably would’ve climbed the carpet ladder and done quite well actually and been faithful, but Lacey wouldn’t have expected me to do it overnight and she would have been just as faithful, loyal and loving to me when we were in our 20s and poor as we were when we were in our 80s and rich. There would’ve been no wavering in her love for me ever unless if I really fouled-up. If women like her really don’t like drama, and they existed in my generation. They might like reading novels, and they might find art fascinating in that way, but that’s just because they’re trying to appreciate the human existence. It’s it’s not because they can’t just live study life the truth is they see drama everywhere anyway. And if that’s really all they can take. You know the little Sarah‘s hair cut you no cotton gum, piece of gum on Thursday and then you know they had to go to the doctor when she fell and he had to make sure she wasn’t gonna get a concussion and that wiped her out for a week Worried that her daughter was going to die from falling off her bike and hitting her head. And then you know week or two later someone got sick and we were up all night. And I love you from between us the safety between us was really the would have been, and really was if this had happened the only good thing to always be a constant in our lives other than God. And why would you follow that up you wouldn’t. If you wouldn’t want to, and you know not to. That would be unthinkable, more than unthinkable. And that’s what she was designed for, anything else is a hard on her and it was hard on me too.

People think I was devastated for Jack and they conjecture all these things about my psychology but unfortunately it really is all conjecture. And people think she’s extraordinarily beautiful and and she’s smart and she’s clever and wise and kind…and she has good taste…but it’s also because she’s sexual. And you could say she’s well-bred and it’s jealousy. Yes, that could probably. It’s there in a lot of cases, too. But what a lot of Boomers, and a lot of other people sense, regardless of whether or not she’s illegitimate or not…it’s that she is unusually sexual.

It isn’t that she’s lose. It’s that she’s usually sexual. And it’s in a way that is innocent and not common today.” says Lem. “But the problem, of course with your analysis is that you don’t understand the sexuality. I was sexual too and if people understood that sexuality, they probably would know that I was straight the same way that Lacey does, if I was. But…it’s not something that actually indicates she’s a gold-digger. It it’s more just that I don’t want to say energy but it’s more just who who she is. We had the Baby Boomers. We were the ones that did that.” says Lem.

“Yeah…you know you’re probably right because when I think about how loud our sexuality became after your generation, it makes me wonder if we were overcompensating for a lack of sexuality not the opposite.” says a Gen. X woman. “I’m not saying we were asexual but I’m just saying like I wonder if we’re more asexual than they were.”

“So in your generation people would’ve known she wasn’t a gold-digger. What would they have thought?” asks a woman.

Lem looks sad. “Well they would’ve thought that she wanted to settle down and get married and have a family. And that’s the other thing with my most famous quotation that has been misunderstood to an exceptional degree within the last 10 to 20 years. Getting married, settling down and having a family was celebrated and accepted for hundreds of years. Nowadays it’s most definitely not. Especially in the elite in the United States and that’s how it’s been her entire life. There are conservative elite people, but they’re shunned by the bastion of people who have power in the United States. And she knew that very well. Her family didn’t want her to just settle down and get married and have a family. Her parents thought that was either a sad reality that she had to work with by becoming a nurse in her father’s case or her mother saw it as something to fight against. Her mother, her mother thought ‘Now, you’ve gotta be a lawyer you’ve got to do well maybe you’ll have kids maybe you’ll have a husband who gives a shit!’ And her father thought well I guess your sexual how gross. And he might’ve known her mother if she’s illegitimate and known that Lacey would want to get married and have kids. And known her father. And so he would say things like, ‘So why don’t you just become a nurse or teacher or why don’t you do something where you can make money and still have a family?’ That’s all she ever heard growing-up. And young men her age certainly would never have celebrated her being a wife and mother unless if they were being edgy and cool and Republican. And so what did she end up doing? Well hiding that part of herself almost completely from everyone because it was far too shameful. That sounds, ‘Oh that’s not true that’s not true! But that’s that’s bullshit. You know if you’re reading this blog or if you’re someone who understands…no that’s bullshit. It really is or was considered shameful when Lacey was in her 20s and really through her entire youth to be a stay-at-home mom, it was old-fashioned, it was trashy, it was weak. It was immoral and it was umm considered ah…a very awful dangerous thing to do.” says Lem.

“I didn’t realize Lacey really was that well bred and that she really thought it was weird that I was freaked out by my sexuality.” says Casi. “As in like, ‘Umm…why are you freaked out about being bisexual? That’s so weird!’”

“Probably because she’s conservative and very old-fashioned and old money and so it looked familiar to you because you’re from the south and you thought it was someone who is just like you in someway but that’s not what you were seeing at all. …But you’re right she probably did think it was kind of creepy that you were that freaked out by it.” says a dead Nesheim.

“Oh no, you thought I was a total freak for being so weirded out by the fact that I was just bisexual because you were just like, ‘Umm…you’re just bisexual. That’s a strange thing to be freaked out about…but OK.’ …That’s not how I was raised. And there are a lot of people who really have been raised in our generation to just get married and have kids but you don’t know any of those people because they’re all in the lower-middle to working class and then there might be some elite people like that in the south, but you’re right and there’s a huge class divide there and that is not how you were raised.” says Casi.

“I probably wanted you to be bisexual Lacey and be in love with Casi because it made you seem lower class and you know that and it makes me look as like an idiot and it’s embarrassing.” says a perfume hater.

“Oh no, Casi either made stuff up or other people did because nothing ever happened to indicate Lacey was interested; quite the opposite. Lacey was never remotely interested in her. OK, Lacey really is straight and I may have been too. We know for a fact on this blog that Lacey is straight. And was straight. …What she was hiding and still is hiding is that she really just wanted to get married and have kids in a reasonable and responsible way.” says Lem.

“So she really felt like a closeted gay person in that way and probably still does.” says a man.

“Yes, absolutely!” says Lem. Lem thinks. “Ah Lacey’s mother cried when Lacey told her that she was pregnant with her first child after she was married.”

“Her mother cried after she was married because she wanted her to be a lawyer that badly????” asks a perfume hater.

“Yes, yes she was devastated because she felt that Lacey’s life has been ruined.” says Lem.

“What did Mark’s family think about it?” asks Casi’s mother.

“They were not particularly pleased. But his grandparents were excited to become great grandparents and see their name carried on. And if Lacey’s illegitimate, her father was not the least bit surprised by any of it. For a reason. Heroes anticipated that she’d get married and have a family and he was not necessarily in favor of it, but he just thought it was likely thing to happen. For genetic reasons. This is a man who was going to be an anthropology and sociology professor, so he was very fascinated by evolution before he became a born-again Christian. Lacey grew up hearing about genetics and familial genetic predispositions. The thing is he provided generously for his grandkids, because he anticipated that that was going to happen, and he was happy to help. But no, she secretly wanted to just get married and have kids and that is so shunned today by ‘acceptable society’ now that she’s never been honest about it because people are genuinely that hateful on that issue. And they really are. I mean it’s deeply ingrained to the point where it’s not even easily and honestly discussed as an issue of contention between social classes.” says Lem.

“Was her father that raised her-he told her she could be a nurse, a teacher, or a secretary and that’s very weird. Was he trying to raise her like she was in a different generation intentionally to mess her up or to try to be helpful?” asks a feminist perfume hater. She laughs. “Umm…you know yeah, it really is true that really is like being closeted and being gay in higher social circles today in America. At least it really is totally unacceptable.”

“Yeah and then you called her a prostitute Casi when she claimed that her legal husband’s assets were her own even though legally, that actually is true.” says Lem. “And people listened to you in the Illuminati and elsewhere because to them that is the ‘God’s honest truth!’ It is uncomfortably true. It really is like being gay and 1950s America. That film in 2010 The Kids Are All Right is 1950s bullshit repackaged, in a liberal way. And yes, and it is no mistake that And Just Like That has a gay character. Or you know, a homosexual character hot lesbian sort of bisexual or something. Cause I’m gonna get a good upstanding, moral, ending to the whole series the whole shebang it’s finished on a high note of moral superiority. People, ironically, love to say that Lacey was super conservative and conformist. But that actually is said by people who are conformist if they’re trying to be in the upper middle class or the upper class. It really is far more rebellious to be a little conservative in a genuine way nowadays and it has been for a while. Lacey‘s parents are very rebellious people, who raised her. And then yet the irony for you to enjoy Casi is that? No you’re closeted homosexuality bisexuality. Whatever you wanna call it right? Was bizarre to Lacey. Very bizarre.” says Lem.

“So when people from the south or elsewhere, have talked to Lacey and not realized that her conservative Christianity is complicated. They’ve made total fools of themselves.” says a perfume hater. “And you know what honestly it really is people that don’t understand American upper class and that’s why her orientation has been in a hot topic for the last 5 to 7 years because I don’t think people want to admit that Lacey is old money, and it gives them joy to think that she’s closeted, because that fits with their narrative, even though it’s not true, and it actually makes them seem far less elite.”

“Yeah people have only questioned her orientation when they’ve been threatened by her. There was a woman who was in love with Mark, who thought Lacey could be a lesbian for her own insecure reasons. And then there was a guy in high school who knew Lacey was friends with lesbians and that she didn’t put out and so he assumed that she was a lesbian. No one else is ever called her that, quite the opposite.” says Lem.

“But she actually would have just not for him, right?” asks a woman.

“That’s a very serious theological question actually. Because the answer is yes, but I say that cautiously because it’s easily misunderstood. She doesn’t believe in marriage, and yet she does at the same time. To her marriage is a fallen institution and a redeemed one at the same time.” says Lem.

“Umm…so then yes she would’ve for you, but with the idea that you were going to get married and you really would have.” says a dead man to Lem.

“Yes! I, I would’ve married her. I know in many ways her life is the tragic opposite of mine and mine was tragic, but I gave her a dream that she was dying of a drug overdose and so thankfully, she’s never had any sort of substance addiction and she’s never made that much of a fool out of herself. But on a sad note, she has no idea how innocent she is, and how vulnerable that makes her with dead men who are not like men today.” says Lem.

“Why were you so resistant to your family Lem when they tried to help you if if you really were straight and they knew that and they kept trying to talk you out of it why were you so resistant them?” asks a psychic.

“I was both spoiled and naïve, even if I was sweet tempered and loving. I knew I had my family and I knew they love me unconditionally, and I took that for granted. I took that extremely for granted. And on the other hand, I had issues with them that were real. And I took those as indications of complete guilt on their part that I could just disregard lots of what they believed because it just was old-fashioned and nonsensical. And you know I believed in progress I was taught to believe in America. We are patriots in my family. And so I thought, ‘The Kennedys are really cool!’ I thought they were really intelligent, energetic, passionate people. Who just needed their fair chance in America. I thought here there are these wealthy people and they live this glamorous life to some degree and they really just need a helping hand into the upper class. They really just need someone to guide them and help them understand how to fit in. I didn’t think that I was doing anything out of the ordinary that another person in my position wouldn’t do if they saw things in a progressive American way. I really thought I was giving them a helping hand. And I was happy to do it. I thought it made me patriotic and historic and a better man overall. My mission was to help Jack and his family prove to the world that an Irish immigrant family can make it big and outshine any other social class that’s ever existed. I wanted to make them something special in the eyes of the world for the sake of every Irish immigrant family that ever existed. And I don’t think they’d ever want to admit that so it’s much more convenient to just make me Jack’s crazy gay lover from a poor family. But it wasn’t that clear that I was that way. And to be honest, I don’t know that they would’ve even thought it was real at the time. If they did, I mean I wasn’t and it wasn’t discernible to them so they didn’t even know what they were looking at except for read Fais I think he may be new that I was not 100% gay at the very least. But part of that was because he wasn’t 100% straight or gay himself. And he understood what that was like and so I think he assumed when he knew me as a friend so to speak that I was probably just like him. And possibly also just like Jack, I think Red’s idea was that he was describing me and Jack and him all at the same time by calling me neutral. The problem, of course, was that I wasn’t principal fag. I was just straight, so I wasn’t really neutral. That was more just Red and Jack. But thank goodness Red said something so there’s some historical corroboration for what I’m saying to Lacey on this blog and in general am saying to her. Of course, people have determinedly misunderstood Red’s quotation to mean that I was gay, which is absurd but no, I was straight and that’s not an easy thing for Lacey to write. It actually has required a lot of faith in God, believe it or not for her to write that.”

“And you guys got a totally backward. Edit amazes me that the Illuminati has been dumb enough to enable you people.“ says a Gen. Z woman.

“So Lem you just thought your family was backward or old-fashioned and that you were the new improved version of them so to speak like you were an improvement. Or that you were an individual who was going to be a forward thinking progressive. And because you were confused and you genuinely were trying to live a gay life in your intellectual cocoon to some degree of upper class America in the 1930’s. You didn’t realize that jack shouldn’t just be a project. A sort of gay school project but like your entire life.” says a witch.

Lem’s dad laughs.

“I felt very self-righteous in my cause and he was my reason for living, even though I didn’t love him really in any way, sadly enough. And if I’ve been speaking to Lacey, I’ll finish this conversation by saying that no, I really was angry before I died at the thought of her being with someone else. And I don’t know if I’ll get her to believe that one for a while at least for a while.” says Lem.

More later.

“You didn’t love him at all you said you loved him your whole life you didn’t love him at all?!??” says a Boomer, aghast.

“No I wish I could say that I did. But truthfully, speaking, I didn’t. I failed at being a truly loving friend to him. I enabled him to be a horrible version of himself. That’s not loving. I, I let him ruin his life. And I had reasons for that at the time that made sense to me, but now they don’t because I know better and I should have them too. But I think you know you only know-we know-we don’t see everything when we’re alive unless if God helps us. And I I had all these ways of seeing things that were very complex, and based on a misunderstanding of my sexuality, and when I figured out that I was straight and may have pieced together the fact that Lacey existed, then I just wanted to die.” says Lem.

“So he was your reason for existence to a point or what?!” asks a Boomer.

“Umm…he was my reason for existence by choice. And coercion, but to a large degree by choice. I really thought I was doing the honorable thing.” says Lem.

“But Lem that’s not a thing. No generation has ever done that.” says a Boomer.

“You have no idea what you’re talking about or you’re trying to test me or trip me up and it’s obnoxious because I’m trying to end this conversation and you’re wasting my time.” says Lem.

“I just mean no generation has ever been that childish about it, where they commit to someone for romantic reasons as a teenager, and then stay married their whole life.” says the Boomer thinking she’s being clever.

“No, that’s not true that’s absolutely untrue! I think the opposite has been true throughout most of history. That was my ideal. That’s Lacey‘s ideal and if we met at other it would’ve worked out great but that’s not what happened but I was trying to make that happen with Jack.” says Lem. “I thought I was gay and he was going to be my lifetime partner I was going to commit to him and make being gay as feasible a lifestyle as possible.”

“But it didn’t bother you that he married Jackie?” asks someone.

“Oh no, I wasn’t hurt by that. Jackie and I actually didn’t get along very well at times, and I felt very awkward and I questioned my role and the appropriateness of everything but I understood why he was getting married and I respected what he was trying to do and it was necessary for office, and I thought she understood and no in many ways she relieved me of some duties, at least. Women took the heat off me and I liked that. Sounds psychotic but that’s what she’s hearing and that might be what I’m saying.” says Lem.

“The liberal elite are psychotically attached the idea that Lem was gay. And demons could easily be lying to psychics because the psychics don’t want to admit that. And Mr. and Mrs. Blue have everyone’s empathy because they are on the same team and they really can’t think outside that box even if they’re in the Illuminati. So right now, we’re counseling Mr. and Mrs. Blue in their marriage, while Lem is explaining US history to us. But we’re just oblivious to it, if this is actually Lem.” says Wobbly objectively. “Mrs. Blue thinks that her husband was attracted to Lacey, but was mostly just interested in her for reasons of jealousy. But she doesn’t like that theory because she thinks that it lets Lacey off the hook for having interest in a married man and it means that her husband really wasn’t interested in Lacey and that lets Lacey off the hook in other ways because she really wants to hate Lacey and think she’s evil.”

“OK so she still obsessed with that seven years later even though they have an open marriage? And she probably loves to focus on that because it makes her feel better about that open marriage. Or it just it’s distracting to her or what but why is she obsessed with that?” asks a woman.

“And that’s because she feels threatened by that idea that he could just meet someone anywhere, but she wouldn’t know.” says his former mistress. “Because she lives in a world where you don’t meet people other than in very specific ways and that’s the world she chooses to live in. She doesn’t realize that there are people seeing him by the millions daily and that she can’t control that because she’s insane and that way. In her mind she can still control it because in her mind he has this limited circle of people he knows and so that’s her safety net for her and that’s not reality but that’s the one that she chooses to live in.”

“So she really doesn’t get it that you were a real threat and that I was an imaginary one essentially, but he just chose to sort of use as his punching bag because I took it so seriously not him.” says Lacey. “He was looking for some nerdy hook-up and I was looking for love, and I didn’t realize that I was talking to the Illuminati.”

“So why does this woman take it so seriously if Lacey moved on seven years ago practically they think she’s obsessed with Lem and that he’s gay? It’s obvious that they’re obsessed with her for some petty reason from the objective point of view. And it’s obvious that she’s really not obsessed with them and that she just does this that they leave her alone basically. And honestly, it’s not clear that he was gay at all. It seems far more likely that he was bisexual or straight, and that they’re homophobic, and in capable of understanding how complicated people could be, especially under certain circumstances. I’m sure these people have a hard time with anything complicated, and so people who are transgender who really aren’t transgender and have ruined their bodies don’t exist to these people either.

And actually if I was Mrs. blue, I’d be worried that a real trans transgender woman could get a crush on my husband, especially a hot one with a strong chin line and big boobs. And I and I think he would end the marriage for that woman if he met her in the right social circles that I’m sure you’re in. And then you’d be out of a paycheck, you a little gold-digger. Because I’m noticing that in Lacey‘s case very specifically, though, just in her case, when people accuse her of being one they usually are themselves. I think her former step mother-in-law was definitely a gold-digger. I think that most women in Mr. Blue’s life are gold-diggers. I don’t know that his wife was to begin with, but I think she could’ve been if she knew what kind of a life he was capable of giving him because that woman is not stupid whoever she is. And if she has industry ins in Hollywood, or wherever he is, I am sure that she knew that when she met him. And she saw him as her little investment that would pay off long-term and then she could be whatever she wanted to be, and he would just go along with it out of thankfulness. It’s funny though because I don’t think Lacey would ever make that argument. I think it would floor her to hear that because she really isn’t a gold-digger so she doesn’t think like one at all. But you know I can think like one if I want to. And I’m warning you I really think there could be a woman out there who could steal him from you and it isn’t Lacey and you’re gonna feel very silly someday if she ever emerges and he remarries her and leaves you…because Lacey is not going to care, and then you get to take it out on Lacey again anyway? Because she really is just your punching bag psychologically…and don’t try to make that about social class to feel superior because the truth is she’s probably superior to you. I have a feeling there are multiple people in her family who have a higher net worth than the two of you combined, even with your industry ins.” says a perfume hater.

More later.

Later Hotline Bling (Billie Version) from Instagram plays.

Hotline (edit) by Billie Eilish plays.

“So I don’t understand why Lem being with Jack was such a big deal. Explain!” says a reader.

“Because…Lacey has no way to be a man.” says Lem. “She can’t be a man without destroying herself completely.”

COPYCAT by Billie Eilish plays.

“Jack can imitate her. But she can’t imitate him.” says Lem. “And she needs me infinitely more than he ever even sneezed at.”

“Who told Jack so?” asks JP.

“Who do you think, dad?!?” says Eunice.

“Joe.” says Kick.

A reader opens her mouth. “So…Joe warned Jack. Not to mess with it. Let it go?”

“Yeah. And Jack…is…struggling.” says Eunice.

“So…Lem…you…umm…love Jack more. But…somehow Lacey got the idea that you…were betraying her because she was too feminine?” asks a gay man. “And loved you too much?” he asks crying. “Damn.” He closes his eyes. Cries.

“So…Joe understands and understood her…wild, determined character. Hmm. …And we ruined that.” says the psychic.

Lovely by Billie Eilish.

“You and Joe are parents.” says a female psychic. “He gets Millennial coparenting.” She laughs. Rubs her forehead.

Therefore I Am by Billie Eilish plays.

“They keep a friendship now, easily.” says Pat proudly.

And…in their case…it’s real. Platonic. Dead. But loving.

Joe sighs. Straightens his bowtie. Looks at Jack across the table. Challenges him.

“I made it work!” says Joe. He glares at Jack. “She still loves me. I still love her. But…maybe we don’t belong together. Can you do that?”

He thinks. Changes by Hayd plays ironically and not.

“I pick great women. Or one. Really great one. And…I let go. It was Hell. But I did it.” says Joe. “Can you say that?”

“Are we still competing?” asks Jack, crying.

“As long as you want!” says Joe signaling.

Lacey bows to God. The God of the Bible.

“You have proof she wasn’t ugly! Did you see her ass?!? Lem let her do that! Isn’t that great of him?” says Joe. “I never did.”

Thank You by Dido plays.

“Joe…you didn’t want war…because you knew you’d die. Why?” asks a pacifist.

“I stayed alive. Under rare conditions.” says Joe. “I fought extremely well, actually. But I…got killed loving Patricia.”

Desert Rose by Sting plays.

Joe is entranced by Pat. In the 1940’s. She was seductive. And Lacey understood and understands. Too easily. And that was the problem.

Lacey loves on. Few tears.

“So she’s angry at me because I was wrong.” says her ex boyfriends.

“Unfortunately…yes. You shouldn’t have been wrong. That was crass.” says Joe.

Lem laughs. And laughs.

“I warned you to pick Eleanor Roosevelt over Jackie Kennedy.” says Lacey’s seventh grade honors English teacher.

And she did. She warned Lacey.

“No, they’re two very different women. Jackie was beautiful, but she was a far more shallow woman than Eleanor Roosevelt.” said Lacey’s seventh grade honors English teacher to Lacey. She was scared by something Lacey had said, comparing and complimenting them both.

“She didn’t realize there was a war between them. How could she have realized that?! See, she thought they were just both very cool women in American history and that’s all.“ says Michael sitting in her room at age 13.

Lacey’s old English teacher laughs. She looks at Lem and Michael. Joe. Elliott. Louis. Harold. Scott.

Glory Box by Portishead plays.

“I don’t think Elliott is right. Michael…is…never going away unless he’s fully outdone.” she says then she smiles. “Joe…is…her perfect soulmate. But…God is the best judge. The bestest.” She squints. “Louis is-“. She cuts off to cry. She looks down. Looks nervous. Cries.

Weird Fishes by Radiohead plays.

“I’m…so wrong. About so many things.” she says. “And it’s wonderful.” She sighs. “You were a pacifist in disguise?” she asks Louis.

He smiles.

“You would have married her.” she says. “I’m sorry. I have to say it! …And Lem, you warned me. You warned me. …Harold I’d have made you do projects with Lacey. Often.” she says, smiling. “Partially out of curiosity. Just to see what you two could come up with. Scott…if you and Lacey were in the same room I’d have been scared by what you’d two would do with the conversation.” she says.

“Why would my relationship with Lacey have scared you if you could tell that I was attracted to her?” says Lem.

“Well frankly, because you are 13 year olds. And if you both were in my class the year that she was there…I would’ve been worried about teen pregnancy. She doesn’t believe that but that’s what I would’ve been worried about.” she says.

“How could you have no one what we were capable of?” asks Lem.

Louis laughs.

“You have a certain power over her but I don’t think you have that over anyone else but yourself and I could probably have sensed that. You seem dangerous in different ways to different people, probably. Joe wasn’t wrong to be cautious of you. He just didn’t have the right reasons. But I would’ve known that people fell in love and got married young sometimes. And I would’ve known that you two were capable of that. You’re both very serious people.” she says.

More later.

“You’re actually dead!?!” Lacey says to Mrs. Koppelman in shock.

Lacey looked her up. Feeling that she should. And was shocked to find her dead. She died last summer.

Lacey cries slightly.

“You taught me English. Actual English.” says Lacey.

Lacey is shocked. She imagined her in her classroom so clearly.

“Are you all actually there?!” asks Lacey.

“Yes. Mostly. You’ll see.” she says.

Lacey stands there.

“I’m worried.” says Mrs. Koppelman.

“Wow it’s hard to believe you’re dead.” says Lacey. “I weirdly thought you were. But I didn’t believe it. And you actually were close to death and are dead.” Lacey thinks. “You don’t seem dead. You seem…transformed into some sort of Purgatorial state.”

“Where are you?” asks a witch of Lacey.

Michael laughs. As does an Asmat.

“I am in 2023 and 1998 both.” says Lacey.

“You’re also at the Edina public library.” says Mrs. Koppelman.

“I loved the place.” says Lacey

Mrs. Koppelman laughs.

“You are more in awe of me than Louis!!” she says. “And you’re so chill about the celebrities.”

Lacey looks awkward. “I’ve been talking to Joe since I was young.” she admits. “If you’re real. I think we might have been in love. He’s just…Joe to me.”

“And in a way…that’s…exactly why you’re writing this. He was so human. Not just a celebrity. …And he was so handsome too. But…he tried to love you and did. And it affected you. And…he was never US President. And eventually the whole century ended.” says Mrs. Koppelman.

“I don’t want to leave the 20th Century.” says Lacey.

“The air was better.” says Mrs. Koppelman.

“I don’t like the world without you all.” says Lacey.

“At least there’s still England.” says a man.

“It would feel like Hell or Mars without it.” says Lem.

“So…you and Lem were supposed to be together.” says a man.

“Or me.” says Michael.

“Why is Judith worried?!” asks a man.

“Because Lem was straight.” says Mrs. Koppelman.

Later.

“No…I’m not worried about Joe. He’s…handsome. And very content. …His wife was…and is…Pat at the start of this post and now. …I’m more worried that Lem…won’t be heard. Lacey needs…peace.” says Mrs. Koppelman. “And her seeing me…is far too weird. She had a sense I was dead. And I am. And it’s weird!” says Mrs. Koppelman. “And Michael is…extremely dangerous and barely dead. He’s dead…but…I don’t think he’s dead the way I am.” She smirks. “God may have had to raise him from the grave a bit.”
