HUNGRY WOLF, EASY PREY

History is nothing except monsters or victims. Or witnesses. Wallace Boyer (☼ Car Salesman)

Rant Casey wasn’t evil. He was more like he was trying to find something real in the world. Kids grow up connected to nothing these days, plugged in and living lives boosted to them from other people. Hand-me-down adventures. I think Rant wanted everybody to experience just one real adventure. As a community, something to bond folks.

Everybody in town seeing the same old move or boosting the same peak, that doesn’t bring folks together. But after kids came home, their costumes matted with blood, blood under their little fingernails for a week, and their hair stinking, that had folks talking. Can’t say they were happy, but folks were talking and together.

Lowell Richards, “Rant” by Chuck Palahniuk (via youpretentiousyou)

The big reason why folks leave a small town,” Rant used to say, “is so they can moon over the idea of going back. And the reason they stay put is so they can moon about getting out.”
Rant meant that no one is happy, anywhere. Rant, Chuck Palahniuk, p. 12 (via myprivatelibrary)
