95.5 - when autumn leaves start to fall

[hard-talker.livejournal.com]

[for once, there's no broadcast. this Monday evening finds Mark stretched out in a pile of leaves, with a few pillows he's wished up to give it some more substance and squish. his boombox is nearby, but he's not blasting it, per se - anyone who comes within six feet or so will be able to hear what he's listening to.

he's got a book in his hands, and his journal propped open in the leaves nearby, a flashlight tucked in the pocket of his shirt to read by, now that the sun's gone down, and a blanket over his shoulders]

.... Okay, so ... how've I gone from ten minutes to a building blowing up, to ... group therapy? Jesus, this book is whacked. ... [he snickers to himself and keeps on reading]

I love it already. ... [and then he tosses a remark toward the journal]

How's everyone else killin' time during good ole Leafstock?

Indeed there is that fear there that something will occur with too much wishing. And did he now? That is, fascinating...

And there is nothing wrong with that, and yes I know the TARDIS. [He gives Mark the break and smiles even though Mark can't see it. He likes it when kids get the deeper meaning behind things.] And that is the type of idea that not many would get. I am glad to hear that you do give such thought to your reading.

Yeah, he did ... I guess not everyone gets consequences like that when they wish for stuff, though. It's really bizzare, no pattern or anything.

Yeah? Hey, thanks. Don't gimme too much credit, though, seriously, it's ... kind of hard to miss in a few spots. If you want to read it sometime, I can let you borrow my copy.

Fascinating really. But perhaps it was the time span in which he wished for it all the.

Yes it may be but a careful reader reads, then rereads sections to truly understand what is written. And I just may, thank you for the offer.

You know, I hadn't thought of that. But I guess that's why you're the smart guy, yeah?

Not many do, and you could say that yes. [Smugness in his voice? Oh yes.] Part of reading is being an active one, you will find not many thing escape you if you pay attention.
