Gonna start posting my fan-fiction! Wrote this one for Camus’ The Plague after I had to read it for class a few years ago. I was working on an essay about the book at the time which almost gave me a mental breakdown and I think it might come through in the writing a bit 😅.

[text ID: I am going to outlive myself. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat. Exist slowly, softly, like these trees, like a puddle of water, like the red bench in the streetcar.]

“When I was a child, when I was an adolescent, books saved me from despair: that convinced me that culture was the highest of values…”

Baghera was desperately trying to ask a question but Dapper and BBH managed to spawn a wither and let it escape while she was searching for a word so right after she was like

Baghera: IF YOU WERE PRODUCING EGGS FROM YOUR BUTT WOULD YOU EAT THEM?

bbh: What the fudge? Was that your question?

You know what charm is: a way of getting an answer without having posed any clear question. Vous savez ce qu’est le charme: une manière de s’entendre répondre oui sans avoir posé aucune question claire. -The Fall (Le Chute), Albert Camus, 1956

The same feeling of not belonging, of futility, wherever I go: I pretend interest in what matters nothing to me, I bestir myself mechanically or out of charity, without ever being caught up, without ever being somewhere. What attracts me is elsewhere, and I don’t know where that elsewhere is.
