Tonight won't end until dawn says so

Start here

Shreds of a bizarre world is not a diary you have to swallow newest-first. It’s an archive of scenes, satire, and arguments. Start where you’re interested:

Scenes from the world — things seen in the street
The country we deserve — Italy watched from outside and from inside
Keeping a clear head — how not to get eaten by polarization
Counter-catechism — against inherited doctrines, without swapping in new ones
Living on my own terms — work, age, pleasure, personal freedom

All posts by date are still below. Better to enter through a door, though.

Tonight won't end until dawn says so

February 03, 2010

Last night he gave up, overwhelmed by sleep. He fought for a while against the weight of his eyelids. Then he remembered his friends' advice. Why do you care? Tomorrow always comes. He's not that sure, chromosomal skeptic. But he concedes that at the end they've always been right. Anyway today you've got no excuse. You've slept enough, you don't have to work, tonight won't end until dawn says so. What's the point? You might be thinking. The point? Well...why? He replies with surprise. Tomorrow, as you say, will probably come. But the day after that...well...how do I know?
