THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: STOP THE WAR

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: MANNY HAD TO GO
No one knows. No one knows, Cal. I’m going to find out. I still have the phone message. He must have ditched the phone, because they never found him, or if they did, they never came to me about it. I listen to it, sometimes, when I’m lost in a problem and I can’t think my way out.

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: RUMMAGE SALE
It didn't come to me first, of course, and I have no idea how old it is really. I have some ideas though, you can kind of work it out from what's in it. I mean, I'm pretty sure a portion of it is from a Buick Skylark dash, there's a ZX Spectrum computer, and a 1966 Zenith black and white TV.

I know where you go when you sleep. Where we all go. Hell, I’m not sure if it’s that, or maybe we come here from there when we wake. It’s so hard to tell, now. We’re in week 7. I can tell that it’s week 7 because it’s on everything. On my meal tray. On the pill tray.

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: WE WERE NOT THE FIRST, A SUICIDE RANT
First Cliff, I’m not dead. I mean, where you are I am dead. But I’m not dead, really. I'm at the library. I know this doesn't make sense. But I've included all you need to come find me inside this box. But put the rock aside for a bit. I know you. You're thinking Sandy fucking checked out. But no.
