Tin House: Summer 2016
Weight: 1 lb
Method of Disposal: Donating
Have you ever experienced night paralysis? There is this moment of awareness before the visions start. You feel that your body is heavy and unmovable, and there is this dread that overcomes you. Will you be able to wake yourself up in time or is it too late? If you give in completely you will be overcome by horror and completely incapable of escaping it.
That is the gloom I have been living in since November 8th. Some days I wake up and can almost forget that we are on the verge of collapse--that my whole life could possibly change. That a lot of lives could change in ways most Americans would struggle to imagine. I don't think this is dramatic. My worst nightmare is the collective leadership of Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Ben Carson, Mike Pence, Rudolph Giuliani, and now Steve Bannon. It is like a really bad SNL skit and my deepest darkest nightmare combined. It is so impossible I do not know how to wrap my brain around the fact that it IS possible.
What will happen to us?
