“To think I'd miss this place so much. I used to live here, Glouster, for four or so years. wasn't the best time but it has stayed in my heart forever. the people sucked and the weather sucked worse, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I used to work in the subway in this gas station, didn't get along with anyone, but, it was my first real job. I don't even remember how long I worked there, but it was a sidejob while I was finishing high school, and it gave me something to do and hell, even enjoy sometimes cause it gave me ample cash to get high with my roommate at the time. he was cool, better than most in the town but being a trans fruitcake go figure I'd be biased against most people in town. god, I miss walking the barely maintained sidewalks, I miss wandering the train tracks and going to the dollar store after school to get snacks galore. I miss it all, and in a different world, god I'd love to live here again. give the subway workers some slack, working in a space smaller than a dorm sucks. give the rivers some wistful glances and the old buildings some gazes, know that people used to, and probably still do have life forming experiences there, that Glouster is a town. and despite living in cities and everything inbetween, some people would kill to get it back.”
