I'm loving this twitchy neurotic character and his definitely-not-repressed background. This: "Ideally, I hope to overhear them talking about their kids so I know they’ve got skin in the game." Skin in the game of surviving and not dying in a plane crash? Okay...

At the same time I feel for Trevor, I mean it's one thing being friendzoned, but being flight-phobia-zoned? Rough.

Since the story switched to like "normal" life this time I almost forgot there's an alien threat out there back in the Wild-West-land.

Haha yeah the character is quite neurotic, I feel bad for Trevor too…for having to deal with him at all

Love the bit about sweat. Made me think of Lyle from Infinite Jest. I like how much we learned about the character here, can't wait to see what happens back on the west coast

[Will Boucher]

omg I forgot about Lyle! I’m shocked I missed that connection…interesting.

Time will tell! We’re cruising to the end!

This could easily stand on its own!! My fav chapter so far. Trevor and trazodone beautiful stuff

[Will Boucher]

Thanks! Yeah I think this one is my fav. It’s between 3 and 5 for me.

The characters fixation on sweat was super interesting in that it gives us a window into him through what he thinks about.

On top of that, the whole piece has so many unique and interesting descriptions. A very enjoyable read indeed. :)
