    ““ WHAT I AM NOT, Nicole Krauss

    My brother and I used to play a game. I'd point to a chair. "THIS IS NOT A CHAIR," I'd say. Bird would point to the table. "THIS IS NOT A TABLE." "THIS IS NOT A WALL," I'd say. "THAT IS NOT A CEILING." We'd go on like that. "IT IS NOT RAINING OUT." "MY SHOE IS NOT UNTIED!" Bird would yell. I'd point to my elbow. "THIS IS NOT A SCRAPE." Bird would lift his knee. "THIS IS ALSO NOT A SCRAPE!" "THAT IS NOT A KETTLE!" "NOT A CUP!" "NOT A SPOON!" "NOT DIRTY DISHES!" We denied whole rooms, years, weathers. Once, at the peak of our shouting, Bird took a deep breath. At the top of his lung, he shrieked: "I! HAVE NOT! BEEN! UNHAPPY! MY WHOLE! LIFE!" "But you're only seven," I said

    Summary

    Saps presses forward and slashes again. He hears the whole crowd scream, the sound muffled as if from underwater. The floor is wet and iron-rich and his whole head is pounding. He’s waited for this moment for longer than anyone here knows.

    He raises his axe into the air and Flux reaches a bare hand up and shouts, “Wait!”

     

    or, Flux surrenders in the colosseum. The rest of the world tries to figure out what to do with him.

    Wemmbu scrunches up his nose in distaste. “No.” 

    “I didn’t even say anything, bro.” Egg lets his sad, pathetic stare do the work for him. 

    "We don't have time for a festival," Wemmbu sighs, but even as he does, he's already taking Egg’s hand. It was a lost battle from the start. Egg always wins.

    ----------

    Egg, nightmares, a festival, and his stupid idiot best friend.

    Summary

    Explains:
     ● how to make a work skin;
     ● how to view fics' work skin rules;
     ● how to colorize text and circle words and highlight backgrounds (examples in head-note), and change and resize your fonts;
     ● how to turn all links blue-underscore automatically;
     ● the CSS code for diacritics to render properly, e.g.: “ầ” & “ồ” (with diacritics not superimposed), or “ị” (with underdot directly beneath, not kerned to the left), without breaking words such as “gầu” or “vịt” (using a monotype font for these letters would create gaps to each side of the ầ or the ị). Head-note has corrected examples;
     ● Site Skin addenda to block / shrink tags, and block authors / works;
     ● even a quick way (code included) to simply make a Site Skin so that you can read everything in your font of preference!

    Full code is included.

    I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome!

    Summary

    Jason was doing his best not to feel any concern for Tim – it wasn’t Jason’s job to make sure Tim ate and slept and didn’t dose himself with harmful chemicals – but he had to admit to feeling somewhat disturbed. Did anyone else in the family know Tim was this bad at taking care of himself? Did anyone else care? Someone should have probably cared. Not Jason, but… someone.

    “You must really hate yourself,” he observed.

    Tim made a vague hand gesture. “It comes in waves.”

    That was a joke, right? Jason was going to tell himself that was a joke. This was already more than he’d signed up for.
