¡Jack is funny!

Jack is not a friend of mine. I prefer the irish or the Scottish, liking them best if they're twelve years or older. But Jack is a funny guy, whose sense of humour swills around in the depths of his amber blood.

It's a pity that random things happen when random people interact. That a person might be exposed to unexpected, or unpleasant sights when they leave the house. That we might see trash, homeless people, the effects of gentrification, closed stores in polluted streets, trees withered by mercurial weather, people in environmental suits, afraid of the diseases lurking within the safe confines of those suits. The world divided into those who have to face the streets, the Outside, and those who are safe Inside. It's a pity that these still interact.
