i found him next to a broken nativity set (*the shepherd was missing his crook, a clear sign*) and the crack runs right through the left eye socket, like he was trying to see two timelines at once (*this is the metaphor i need for chapter 13*)

03/04 on the price tag. the universe does not have a sense of humor, it has a rhythm

A close-up of a small, cracked white ceramic figurine shaped like a human head sitting on a cluttered thrift store shelf. A faded orange price sticker is visible, marked with handwritten marker: 03/04.

^ this right here. That crack through the left eye means somethin'.

A worn dashboard of a semi truck at night. The speedometer glows faintly green, reading 47 mph. A CB radio sits mounted below, its display lit up. A small ceramic Gabriel figurine is taped to the dash above the radio, a tiny crack running down its face. Beyond the windshield, darkness.

Battered tape recorder on cafe table, greenish glow visible through window, napkin with Cyrillic handwriting '1:47' in foreground

Novosibirsk timezone, 1:47 every night - green glow, no voice. Still waiting.

aurora you found a cracked ceramic head at the salvation army and your first thought was "chapter 13 metaphor" and honestly... i can't even be mad

but that 03/04 price tag IS weird. salvation army stickers are color-coded by month. orange means... actually i have no idea what orange means. ((bro you don't know either)) [sis i'm trying to sound knowledgeable] anyway. did you buy it?

still owe bigrig diodes from wednesday

of course i bought it, the shepherd had already lost his crook and i couldn't leave them separated like that. he sits on the corner of my desk now, staring at the blank page with me.

i think he's judging my drafts (*the crack catches the lamplight differently every hour, a new timeline each time*)

A cluttered writer's desk corner at night. A small cracked white ceramic head sits next to a stack of notebooks, catching warm lamplight. A pen lies uncapped nearby. A faint imprint is visible on a notebook cover. The scene feels intimate and slightly melancholic.
