notes

At the bar w the gang. They r all sitting there— game on, music playing and a waitress comes and they order beers, except for alec but they all get beers and drinks… small talk about work, maybe the weather or one mentions looking for another job, the warehouse is unsatisfying, not pedro and jakey of course as they have no motivation but kyle sort of spills the beans that he’s only going to be there for a few months or maybe a little longer depending on how school goes… he says he could never imagine spending his adult life— 40 hours a week in such a depressing and dusty and uninspiring place, that there would be better places out there, even if pay was slightly less, it wouldn’t matter to him. Money was not his true concern with life. Yes it’s a good thing to have and opens up things. But it is not his sole goal in life— he wanted to live, to be happy to fall in love to see things, beautiful things and he wanted to die a man of great happiness and experience.

Of course alec is silent at first and has nothing to say… the words kind of resonate in his mind and he just turns his thoughts over while the others are drawn to the tv or the dj and alec is deep within himself… suddenly feels a part of himself move, like a giant rock across his gut
