“I told the Kid I thought Wednesday was Latin for Satan, and that we probably shouldn't do it then because it might be bad luck.

And instead of being frustrated we find ourselves fascinated, and we make things up about you out of our own hopes and needs and all the dangerous things we're afraid to do.”
