![“Medusa,” from Severance by Robert Olen Butler. That is, Medusa’s death-monologue as imagined by Robert Olen Butler.*
*The conceit of Severance, a short story collection by Robert Olen Butler, lies in the fusion of two seemingly unrelated quotes [nearly a century apart]: [01] “After careful study and due deliberation it is my opinion the head remains conscious for one minute and a half after decapitation.” – Dr. Dassy D’Estaing, 1883; and [02] “In a heightened state of emotion, we speak at the rate of 160 words per minute.” – Dr. Emily Reasoner, A Sourcebook for Speech, 1975.

To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.

Of course, I cannot sleep. So. Currently reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Willya just look at this gem from Ford Prefect:
Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
I want you badly, Shirt.
