everyone had to leave, everyone wanted to. at a coffee stand, at a small table that’s meant only for standing at, uncomfortable, you can hear the conversations: snow coming in today. Cousin went down the track a year ago and we got a letter back. On a, a, fucking piece of bark or something but it said come out, its good here. So I don’t know here we are. I guess she made it so I guess I should be alright. I don’t scare easy. I’m not like, invested in constancy or the reliability of experience. But I heard its not that so much, you just have got to act right? Or maybe some people get unlucky, just like here. Been here a week, waiting for my number to come up. They space the carts out so if there’s a breakdown more time to fix it or pull it off track before carts start piling up. The other day I was sitting here and saw some people come walking back. Said the track went straight down a hole, all black, and they jumped out but the brakes failed and down it went without them, so back here they walk. I heard a guide say they coulda stayed on. And now their carts stalled out there somewhere and we're gonna have to deal with that when we go.
