Alright, your most recent message. Let’s talk about it. 

“Collision point in Denver”

Birdie, what the hell?

You can’t just leave a message like that and not follow up. We’ve talked about this. I know that our communication capabilities are limited but this is completely absurd. “Collision point”?? What does that mean?

Maybe I should stop expecting things from you. Maybe you simply being there, being someone to talk to, is enough. Maybe it isn’t fair to want answers on top of that. 

But the least you could do is stop sending me fucking cryptic messages that I can’t do anything about.

Then again, if Denver really is that dangerous somehow, I guess I did do something. I drove around. I guess you did me a favor.  
It doesn’t feel like a favor.

Because…collision point…collision is a fucking weird word to use. If some kind of bomb had gone off, I don’t think that’s the word you’d pick. So what’s colliding? In order for a collision to happen, there needs to be some kind of…what, an immovable object and unstoppable force, right? Or two unstoppable forces, I guess?

And that—well, that would imply other people. You can’t have some kind of momentous force without something putting it into action. And the most likely catalyst for something that would be dangerous enough to avoid would be…other human beings. 

So if you’re telling me that Denver has other people and you’re trying to warn me off them—Birdie, I don’t care if they’re the worst kind of apocalyptic barbarians. They’re people. And I want to see them. If you’re just trying to manipulate me or—or hoard me for yourself somehow, well, I’ve had enough of—

It’s not too late for me to turn back and go to Denver. It’ll never be too late for me to turn back. 

And I don’t know that you’ve given me a good enough reason not to.
