TWO THREADS EMERGE

An Introduction Baldwin Breadwinner didn't meet Harrell when she didn't get transferred to the Hawai'i Fridays on Season 7, day 73. She had no memory of ever having met her before because she hasn't. Maybe it was mutual unreality, with Baldwin only half real and Harrell being ████. Maybe it was a mutual temperament, both having learned to play to the give and take of the world. Maybe it was a mutual interest, long hours of baking bread together, and the in between, where dough needs time to rise. They filled a space in one another. The dread was there the moment she hadn't laid eyes on Harrell, really. Like tracing the fray of pre-torn shorts. What they must have looked like, had they never been cut, a world removed from when you held them in your hands. The dread only grew when she held her in her hands. When a deal is cut signed, there is a give, and a take. She will never remember the things that were given away, as she never remembers the things she took; the good gentleman holds the thread, he holds the scissors. He gave you nothing, because it was what you asked for. She can't remember the things that were given, as she never remembers the things he took. But she can infer. ███ █████████ ███ █████ ██ ██.

The dread was there the moment she didn't lay eyes on Baldwin, really. Like catching a forgotten, poisonous memory of middle school antics ██ years later, and wishing with sour face to let yourself forget again. You let the memory slip from you hands. The dread only grew when she held her in her hands. A good gentleman promises to do it clean. The knife is sharp pen is steady, and the line draws straight across. But this world isn't a clean one, and nothing can be perfect, even at the hand of the master. Baldwin and Harrell's fingers clasp together like puzzle pieces, like key in lock, like gnashing teeth. There was a █a█████-shaped hole at her side, where she isn't on the couch. This isn't a memory, because these things didn't happen.

Harrell doesn't wait, patiently, for Baldwin to pick up where she left off. She doesn't smile as the seconds pass. You will not take this moment from me. The mirror looks so upset with her that evening and she doesn't know which of them is the one making the face. Why does looking at her face take her back to the handshake? The snip deal was supposed to be clean. This isn't what she signed up for. Against the very rules of the real, she remembered something: At the edge of that place, on a creaking, foggy dock, two figures sit before a flowing knit sweater. Fingers bloodied, she unravels carefully the hem at its waist.

She had no memory of ever having met her before because she hasn't, just like everybody else. There is no recorded history of any will so defiant before the cosmos that it would carve itself into causality by force. But there is no recorded history of all the wills who fail to do so, either. But if there was something worth being for, why aren't we drowning in the incorporeal? It takes a keen lack of eyes to see the drowning. Harrell is taking it a step further, into being. Harrell is breathing air today, on Season 7, Day 73. You do not get to unwrite my story. Baldwin Breadwinner doesn't lock eyes with Harrell. When their eyes don't meet, a circuit closes, somewhere deeper than bone. At the edge of that place, the trees grow thin, but they grow tall. Two old friends are sitting by a fire, sharing a bottle of wine. Baldwin Breadwinner is crying, and the paths of her teardrops crawl down her frame and through the dirt, and up to the good gentleman's eyes. The more she recalls to him, the more she sobs, and he cries with her in reverse. They're both laughing between gasps too, like every word is part of a great stretching punchline.

It vexes me, Harrell, to be bested in my own domain. Causality can be such a fickle thing, as can I. But, old friends, I am willing to concede to you here. We can do this forever, or I can let you two have each other, for a price. There was going to be a price.

An Introduction

Baldwin Breadwinner didn't meet Harrell when she didn't get transferred to the Hawai'i Fridays on Season 7, day 73. She had no memory of ever having met her before because she hasn't. Maybe it was mutual unreality, with Baldwin only half real and Harrell not being at all. Maybe it was a mutual temperament, both having learned to play to the give and take of the world. Maybe it was a mutual interest, long hours of baking bread together, and the in between, where dough needs time to rise. They filled a space in one another.

Baldwin doesn't know if Harrell isn't because of her actions, or because of Harrell's own. Or perhaps, Harrell isn't because she isn't, and neither of them have anything to do with it. When things are wrong, or sad, or hurting around Baldwin, she tends to jump to that same scenario: is this the price she doesn't remember that she paid? So of course she would think that this is all her fault.

This wouldn't be the first time she's struggled to keep her distance from those she wants to protect. Nor is it the first time that she'd lose in that struggle. Already, the Fridays look up to her like some kind of team mom, and Harrell is starting to get the same treatment, and they keep ending up having to wrangle that responsibility together, and afterwards, alone together, with the mess of the day to clean after, there she isn't again.

When she looks into the mirror, she sees herself smiling more. She doesn't trust the smiles in the mirror, they could be her own but most times they belong to someone else, and it scares her when he has something to smile about. But she isn't so worried anymore, because she knows. Besides, what would that geezer have to be smiling so much about anywa-

Trade to the Baltimore Crabs

...

Hey Baldwin.

...

It's been a while, since we talked. Technically, we've never actually talked, but you know that. Ha ha.

Your starter almost died, nobody was checking on it since you left, but I kept some in the freezer from maybe a year and a half back, so I just wanted you to know it's safe. The kids too, I guess, you probably care about those also.

We aren't sure if you'll be coming down or not, all we know is what they report from the observatory, and it apparently isn't great stuff. I tried to scry, but I don't have a strong enough catalyst. I'd sacrifice anyone to pierce that veil, but the ingredient isn't something in my reach right now, so I can just hope.

Keep kicking butt up there. If anyone on that team of weirdos can, it's gotta be you. Come back soon? There's a fresh loaf waiting for you, like always.

Thanks for keeping it real. Ha ha.
