10 – 05 – 2021
“I FOUND A REASON TO LIVE. WELL, IT FOUND ME. ON MY DOORSTEP, I FOUND A NOTE. IT WAS FAN-MAIL. APPARENTLY, I HAVE FANS. APPARENTLY, PEOPLE LISTEN ME. ISN'T THAT AMAZING? HA! ANYWAY, I'M GOING TO READ IT OUT LOUD TO YOU ALL. HOPE THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU, KATE.
“ANYWAY, IT READS:
“DEAR CON ART,
“I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO YOUR SHOW FOR SIX YEARS NOW. IT'S THE ONLY RADIO SHOW AROUND THESE PARTS. YOUR SHOW IS ALWAYS FULL OF INCOHERENT BABLE AND SOME OF THE MOST OBNOXIOUS RAMBLINGS I HAVE EVER HEARD. YOU ARE AN ANNOYING PERSON AND I WOULD PROBABLY HATE YOU IF WE EVER MET.
“BUT YOU'RE ALSO WHY I AM ALIVE RIGHT NOW. ON SOME OF THE QUIETER DAYS, THE NOISELESSNESS DRIVES ME CRAZY. I LIVE IN ONE OF THE VLLAGES. THERE ARE SIXTEEN OF US HERE. NOBODY IS REALLY HAPPY. WE TRY AND MANAGE TO STAY ALIVE, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SUICIDES AND THEN THE MONSTERS LIKE TO REAR THEIR UGLY HEADS. IT'S PRETTY BAD.
“NOBODY TALKS AROUND HERE. THERE'S NO CONVERATION. NOBODY SITS AROUND AND TALKS ABOUT NOTHING. IT'S ALWAYS BUSINESS OR HOW TO SURVIVE. THERE IS NO ESCAPISM. IT'S BEEN THIS WAY SINCE IT ALL STARTED ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO. I MEAN, SOMETIMES WE'LL PLAY A CARD GAME OR READ BOOKS, BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH WHEN THE PEOPLE ARE AS DEAD AS THE ZOMBIES AROUND US.
“BUT YOU, CON ART, ARE NOT DEAD. YOU'RE LIVELY, ANNOYING, AND YOU TALK ABOUT THE MOST INCOHERENT BULL**** I HAVE HEARD BEFORE AND AFTER THE APOCALYPSE. YOUR INSANITY HELPS TO KEEP ME SANE. KEEP DOING WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE DOING. AND JUST KNOW, THAT YOU AREN'T SHOUTING IN A VACUUM. I HEAR YOU. I WANT TO KEEP HEARING YOU.
“SINCERELY,
“KATE.”
