this morning #419.

this morning, the sun finally began to shine & she was finally resigned to the fact that she had invested way too much of her mood & money in these damn turtles. something had to change before she lost her sense of self. in classic shifty turtle fashion, they’d slowly taken over & over time, her diet started to align with theirs. now she found herself subsisting mostly on kale & apples, pan-fried crickets did not seem too far off. life seemed slower. too slow. the thought of removing her reptile companions from her life made her anxious though, so she did what she now was wont to do, what they’d taught her to do. she retreated into her shell & waited it out.
