Yesterday, inspired by a dream I had, I began work on a children’s book entitled YOU ARE UGLY AND NO ONE WILL EVER FUCK YOU. It’s the story about a young boy who is painfully shy and not good with people and kinda gangly, but good-hearted, and while the other children might pick on him (in a very mild and average way, the way all children pick on each other, but still, you know, he’s spurned by everyday society I guess) he knows that someday something great will come of him which will force the girl he likes in his homeroom class take notice and fall in love with him, and then he discovers a secret hole in the backyard, which he descends via a very clever rope-and -pulley contraption he builds himself, and at the bottom of the hole there is a giant squirrel whose legs are broken and is starving and half-mad, and the boy talks to the dying squirrel as to how he is sure to be destined for great things until finally the squirrel dies and then the boy steals the skull of the dead squirrel and wears it on his head like a helmet and the next day at school he runs around with the squirrel-skull on his head whooping and screaming as to how he is the greatest boy in the world and hits a third-grader who once laughed a little at the boy’s mismatched shoes in the head with the skull until the third-grader does that terrifying silent cry where they can’t get enough air and then the boy runs into homeroom and jumps on the desk and tells the girl that now she must love him because he is the greatest boy in the world and the girl says YOU ARE UGLY AND NO ONE WILL EVER FUCK YOU.
