Written in a black, soft-cover notebook. Sized A5 and frayed around the edges from time, not use. Impressed into the smooth front cover: MOLESKIN. Inkless indentations score the front and back, suggesting it's more often used as a writing surface than journal. The handwriting within slants right, the loops blending together, superimposed and nearly illegible.

Harper Rock feels like liminal space.
The cracked stucco on the ceiling's still cracked; even if the pen I threw up there is long gone and the ink stain's been diligently painted over, it's still bloody cracked... And isn't that a lovely analogy for this damned city?
I've not yet moved back into the flat, but I will, eventually. Guess it's a matter of how much longer Sol will let me run up her electric bill. It's been quite a feat updating my setup. Can't say storage's been kind to the wiring in my absence, but it gives me something to do.
