? Caravan Palace – Wonderland (Vendredi Remix)

I’m used to exhaustion and an empty stomach I deal with those every day. I’m intimate with desperation and death. Hope? That’s something entirely different, different to the point of feeling alien. This morning I beat the life out of a wild turkey with one of my boots, it was the most luck I’ve had with food since then.

While you see a lot of animals in the forests, most of them aren’t the kind you want to bother with like Javelinas. On my way out of Texas, I saw plenty of survivors get trampled to death trying to mess with them. There’s no shame in going after easy prey, low hanging fruit, or even animals that are already dead. While No pain no gain and Fortune favors the bold roll nicely off of the tongue, they are sentiments that will get you killed.

Anyway, there are more signs of life out this way which gives me hope that I’m getting somewhere. Hope feels somewhat like dread after all this time.
