Red Settlement 20: Curled In The Wart
I got that thing open and it hurt but it was worth it, seeing it under the light of the sun. Remember when he was a friend? The last time I loved him was on the Fairy when we went sunside and the world was full of light and Rend smiled so bright.

Red Settlement 19: Keep Me Searching For A Cinnamon Girl
They set you up in these stations and all you get is Red line, Red line, feeling this and fucking that, and you're supposed to make sense of this.

Red Settlement 18: Dix Goodfellow, Pirate Of Mars
We caress when we should cut and we shake hands when we should slap and we refuse to simply tell the truth plain: life in goggles and sweaty atmo suits is no life at all.

Red Settlement 16: The Cruise And What It Takes From You

Red Settlement 15: What We Can All Do Moving Forward
I can barely remember the point of the sentences by the time I reach the end. I can barely remember to hate myself in the spaces, grown elegantly long, grown cavernous and echoing, between the words.

Red Settlement 14: The Red Sun Over The Red Hill
You say to yourself, “I am Troy, and today I want to be …” and this is the truth about Troy. So if Tesk can only answer “Tesk,” does that make him better than me or worse.

Red Settlement 12: I Put On My Wolf Look
So I have to make the effort to do things I don't want to do to people I don't want, and there's nowhere else to put me. Down, like a dog. Like a wolf on the outskirts.
