Tommy, if you’re reading this, I want you to know that you broke my heart. We came so close to achieving greatness together. You would have been my first partner since King Arthur. Your legacy would have been just as great as his, if not greater, had you just been able to eat a single pickle. I knew the last of my one thousand provisions was a tough ask, but that’s what makes it so perfect. For somebody to be my business partner, I need absolute dedication from them. That’s what the provisions are for. But unfortunately, Tommy has failed me at the final hurdle, and now I must move on.
For some strange reason, I always go to watch Melbourne steel fabricators at work when I’m bothered about something. I find something comforting about the smell of metal being produced, the sound of it being shaped. I feel at home here, like a sword in stone. It makes me feel at peace with the world, helping me forget that everything is falling apart. I’m also here to pick up some steel supplies which I ordered, expecting Tommy to pass the test. I won’t need these supplies anymore, seeing as I can’t make us friendship bracelets, but I already bought the best steel supplies. Close to Melbourne, it’s easy to forget how lucky we have it. Although I am broken-hearted, I’m going to be giving away these steel supplies, given I have no need for them. I’m lucky to be in a position where I can afford to give away such quality steel for free.
I’m sorry if that felt a little random. I’m just hurting, so I’ve tried to find something positive in all this pain. Who knew that being a lover of great window replacement could hurt so much? I thought Tommy and I were going to make a great team. Now I have to revise my one thousand provisions so that it’s actually possible for somebody to pass my testing. I suppose it’s back to the drawing board.
