Anastasia

Jimmy

Anastasia
I thought Simone and I were just going go to a speakeasy or something and I could vent my frustrations about your gender lol, but she took me to her cabin… upstate. And I partied with her and her friends. Only ladies. It was a celebration of womanhood.
Anastasia
let say I’m not getting back today lol
Jimmy
We have to be out of the dorms like tomorrow!
Jimmy
you partied with a bunch of old women, in a cabin, in upstate new york…
Anastasia
no… they were my age or at least, I think they were. They all didn’t look a day over 19, but the way they talk… they knew so much, such authority… I never been around such strong women.
Anastasia
would you want to live forever, Jimmy?
Jimmy
hell no… living the time we got is hard enough… y?
Anastasia
it was just something that came up a lot last night
Jimmy
Is simone goin bring u home?
Anastasia
yea prolly… its just strange… everyone gone, but the cars are in the drive way and they left food out for me?
Jimmy
TBH I’m kind of worried.
Anastasia

Jimmy
Anastasia? r u back yet?
Jimmy

Anastasia

Jimmy
why hasn’t she taken you back yet?
Anastasia
I didn’t want her to.
Anastasia
look… Im not staying in the city for the summer… I have to go back to Connecticut…you know what’s in Connecticut? Shitty beaches, ignorant people, and a whole lot of nothing.
Jimmy
im officially worried
Anastasia
omg NO! chill out, I already talk to the dorm administrator… it’s cool.
Jimmy
so I won’t get to say good bye to you?
Anastasia
I’m coming back today relax… your flight isn’t till tomorrow.
Anastasia
I’m fine… I mean I sorta of woke up with a hickey.
Jimmy
I thought you said there are no guys there…
Anastasia
there weren’t and I didn’t hook up with anyone…
Jimmy
You’re saying someone did this when you were unconscious?????
Anastasia
that’s not important.
Anastasia
but it sorta hurts.
Jimmy
is it like infected????
Jimmy
do you think you need to see a doctor
Anastasia
I took photos on my phone… and it looks fine… just two small bites…. I prolly was just drunk… the ladies here are hot.
Jimmy
do you need me to come up and get you?
Anastasia
NO! you don’t even have a car, how you would get here?
Jimmy
I’d rent a zip car.
Anastasia
omg no… you can barely afford your books… I’m fine. To be honest, it’s kind of refreshing to just be with women… no offense.
Jimmy
look, please come back to campus, TODAY!
Anastasia
they’re not back yet…
Anastasia
its gotten worse… I’m curled up on this bed… I keep taking photos and it looks fine, but it isn’t!
Anastasia
my fingers crawl up my neck and I can’t feel the holes… its dead flesh.
Anastasia
All I feel is the burning. It goes so deep. My body quivers and convulses. I’m crying hysterically one minute and laughing the next. I don’t know what’s happening to me. I’m changing though and I don’t know into what.
Anastasia
the worst is the hunger… And I can’t go outside… the sun is blinding. All I can do is curl up on this bed in the fetal position and wait for someone… The dreams are even worse.
Jimmy
it’s going to be okay.
Jimmy
tell me where you are
Anastasia
I’m sorry… I didn’t listen to you, Jimmy…
Jimmy
It’s okay I’m coming to get you.
Jimmy
Okay… I got a car! I’m coming!
Anastasia
it was a misunderstanding… I’m fine… turn around.
Jimmy
I can’t just… turn around… I rented the car…
Anastasia
I’m going to put this clearly: turn around, get on your plane tomorrow, and forget about your silly crush on me.
Jimmy
what did they do to you, Anastasia?
Anastasia
they liberated me… I’m warning you, turn around.
Jimmy
I’m getting out of the car…
Jimmy
LET ME IN! CAN’T YOU HEAR MY SHOUTS! PLEASE, DON’T SHUT ME OUT!
Jimmy
I thiiiinnkkk I fucked uppp my hand breaking the window… but I’m inside… I’m going find you.
Jimmy
Can’t you hear me? I can barely scream anymore?
Jimmy
OH MY GOD… What was that! ANASTASIA… COME OUT… WE CAN LEAVE TOGETHER!
Jimmy
I called the authorities. They said that cabin has been abandoned for years. They searched it and found nothing… I didn’t tell them what I saw. Those teeth. Those eyes. The blood.
Jimmy
They think I was high or something, but we both know I don’t do drugs.
Jimmy
I’m leaving today… we could still say good-bye.
Jimmy
Where are you? Are you even still alive?
Jimmy
I’m sorry…I was a coward. I was supposed to save you. We were supposed to be together. I’m going keep texting. I won’t stop.

A lesbian society pragmatically reveals that the division from men of which women have been the object is a political one and shows how we have been ideologically rebuilt into a 'natural group.'"

Anastasia? Is that you? Where are you? Please tell me. I need to know.
