I spent all of last week stranded in Edmond, due to my car hating me and Will offering to help repair it. What I thought was going to be a weekend of us working on the car turned into a week of making sure we hadn't broken anything! But, we did accomplish what we set out to, so I'm grateful. :)
What I didn't enjoy was Denae's standoffishness, her apparent inability to cope with reality without drugs, and Will's placation of her to the point that he's emotionally submissive yet subversive.
Now, believe me, I'm no pillar of mental stability, but being Empathic allows me a certain sense for these things. If you can't handle life without needing to chemically alter your perception of everything, then how can you really LIVE your life...? I posit this question not only for my benefit, but for the benifit of those I love and care for deeply.
The car's running just fine now, with the help of a very friendly man named Johnny. He's a GM Certified Tech, and was able to properly re-time my beast with no issue! I just wish the whole ordeal hadn't've been fraught with so much tension and discomfort. My hope is that we all have learned something from this, and that we grow towards being better people.
