But if I don't like what I see
And my grip starts loosening
The edge of the big reveal
Could be the end of the story

And my grip starts loosening
The edge of the big reveal
Could be the end of the story
~ Silversun Pickups ‘Dots and Dashes’ 2012
The old man: he whose teeth reside in the glass case from whose surface Ellie’s greasy fingerprints are even now being erased by Kay’s cleaning hand; the old man used to say that fetish is a consenting lie, where the giver and taker agree to the rules of the game and act out accordingly. He told Ellie that she’d have to be prepared to do unthinkable things in order to protect that lie.
Much later he said “My life is a lie…” through the pain. It was some days before he finally gave up the ghost and the room was full of people.
Ellie leaned in, and hissed into his ear “You’re a fucking wizard Gil” she being the only one who ever used his name, the others preferring to address him as Granpa.
He’d grinned his metal grin at that, his right hand clasping hers, his left waving everyone else from the room.
