'38 Rue Utopia ~ Ep.31

I don't think I can handle
She goes channel to channel
Cold lookin' for that hero
She watch channel zero
~ Public Enemy ‘She Watch Channel Zero’ 1988

Valis ~ Walter Bruneel

He’d curled himself up against the sharp drop in body temperature.
Down there near the composting pit among the grasses that grow over head-height.
After Daniel and Alec left, the women went out looking for Marty, unable to believe he’d gone with the other three.
They’d mostly given up and headed back to the commons when Alice found the path he’d made through the grass when he’d crawled in there.
Foetal, knees drawn up; arms extended, hands together at wrist bone as if offering something up to the demons of guilt. He’s hacked away at the inside of his forearms with a piece of glass; ladder-rungs of pale blue flesh hang between cuts; blood stains a blackened cloud on the flattened grass.
Alice has seen a lot of bad things both before and since the collapse, but she can’t equate this much blood with Marty’s slight frame; the always somewhat putrid odour of the composting pit combines with the scene to catch her gut off guard – she retches into the reeds.
Fuck.
Where the fuck is Ellie?
