Sudden Decisions

On the playground at Shorewood I discuss family with Matt. We decide we should create a new family, and wonder who else we should invite to join, but in the meantime we make out, because in the situation it was the right thing to do.

I go back to visit my original family; we are on a road trip headed west. We get off the ferry and my mom drives us over a bridge and along a road winding up the side of a mountain. She decides we should make our new home up among the boulders on the mountain, so we all climb over the treacherous rocks and settle ourselves along a ledge. Then I notice my grandma is with us, and feel annoyed that my mom chose such an inaccessible spot to live, but she explains that grandma won't ever be leaving anyway.

I browse through a small store on the Ave. The walls are covered with jewelry of varying degrees of quality; they seem to improve as I move towards the back of the store. I stop to admire a silver pin, and as a do so my beau comes up behind me and remind me that I need to pick out something for him to buy for me (at this point my semi-conscious mind cringes). I carelessly pick out a diamond-encrusted necklace- my beau seems pleased (CRINGE). I turn around to the racks of plastic jewelry and then walk up to the front of the store. As I am about to leave I remember I need to buy a pack of cigarettes, although I have never smoked.
I make my way along the same wall that was previously covered with jewelry, now examining the different brands of cigarettes. Again, they seem to improve as I move towards the back wall, but after a certain point they are all the same brand, only with different art nouveau covers, like collectible cards. I wonder if there is any difference between the beetle pack and the daisy pack.
