Why Superman Could Never Find a Phone Book – (Chapter: 17: Illusions, Mirrors, and a Chevy Malibu)
Blanche DuBoise: I don’t want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don’t tell truths. I tell what ought to be truth.
~A Streetcar Named Desire~
…So it happened?
“Yah…it happened.”
How do you feel now?
“I dunno…happy I think. And warm.”
Warm?
“Yah…inside. My insides feel warm. Like I just swallowed hot chocolate…with whiskey in it.”
Whiskey?
“Uh, huh. But not in hot chocolate. That would be gross. More like just hot whiskey.”
Hmmm…
“I’m worried, though.”
How so?
“About her. And me, I guess…about what’s going to happen now.”
What do you think will happen?
“Nothing.”
Nothing?
“Yah.”
Why nothing?
“I can’t explain it.”
Why not?
“It’s just…it just happened. Like, it was meant to. Right then. But that’s it. There’s no continuation. It just…exists.”
So…
“It exists here. In my head…I just hope she remembers it.”
Is it important to you that she does?
“Absolutely.”
Why?
“Because…because I am in love with her; I’m pretty sure.”
You are.
“Yes.”
Does she know that?
“I think so…I’m sure I told her. When it happened.”
You don’t remember?
“See…that’s what’s part of the problem.”
What is?
“Remembering it. It’s like…I sat there, staring, at her, the front seat, at the dirty windows, the cracked windshield. I tried to memorize it all.”
Memorize it?
“Yah. And I’m so scared it will slip away.”
It’s that important to you?
“God, yes. I mean, what happens if I forget? When I get old, or even a year from now. What if I forget the feelings, and like, the smells, and how soft her skin felt.”
Do you want to tell me what happened, exactly as you remember it?
“Okay…that’s a good idea.”
Start whenever you’re ready.
“Okay…so…can I stand as I do this?"
If you’d like.
“It makes it easier for me to remember. Oh, and I might have to shut my eyes, so I’ll try not to look too weird for you.”
Don’t worry about me. Just focus on that night.
“Okay…
I thought it would be nice to just sit…outside. It’s been so hot lately and I love the feel of the breeze on my skin when I’m sweating. Um, I tend to sweat a lot. The doctor’s say it’s a glandular thing and I may outgrow it, but doesn’t matter, cause it sucks. I try and wear white tee shirts a lot, so that people won’t see the sweat stains under my arms and in the middle of my back. Most of the time a carry a handkerchief around so I can wipe it off my face and stuff. Lots of kids make fun of me about it. But, I either laugh it off, or push them over, cause I’m so tall, so, you know.

I really liked Aiden’s converstaion with himself the whole obsession to remember everything exactly and yet how he still is unable to leave the memory for what it was, he has to recast himself in his new body. I really, really loved that. Great job.

Of course, I loved the writing in this chapter. I love all of your writing because it is beautiful. What I didn’t love about this chapter is what took place in it. It’s weird, but it’s almost like I felt jealous for Spencer or something. I think this is the first time I’ve ever felt jealous while reading a fanfic. This was an important chapter though, so it is much appreciated :)

First time I leave you a comment, but I’d like tell you that I love your story. It’s very different from the others I’ve already read in this site and it fascinates me how you are making that each chapter contributes to a global view of the main characters’ lives. Keep writing and please, post as soon as you can!;P
