Masturbating won’t help this situation.

K

I’m going to kill this woman and I hate how funny that was.

Kaiser

I thought you were there and could handle all this and now who knows where the hell you are. I’m busy. Get a pipeline going, fill in a planning spreadsheet, tell them you want a shower. Anything. But I have enough on my plate.

Z

Don’t you Kaiser me

I’m busy.

Kat

KAT!

Job?

ZANE

Dearest John -

As a matter of fact yes. It’s a paying job, I love it. Don’t speak to me this way. Fuck off. And hold on, I’m thinking of something else to say, wait. Oh, I’ve got it.

Fuck off

Didn’t sleep a wink. I fucking hate him and his egotistical ass telling me I should cover his end of all this. That’s not my job. Dodged a bullet there thinking he was ever something. Ass.

I post a cropped version of a photo of me labeled “Park.” I was flipping off Courtney but he gets it instead. I don’t look gorgeous, but I look happy. I know it’s a bit juvenile but he’s being a bit too simplistic and assumptive. I’m done with anyone defining what and who I should be.

Z-

One more thing.

I shake it off because I’m in India and it’s both magical and eye-opening. Riding in the car to the train the next morning, I notice the vast disparity between America and India. We hide our poverty. There’s so much of it here it spills into every open crevice. We pretend it doesn’t exist.
