a story about you and laura:

I.
cut up dinner's leftovers
and put them on the table
and laura will come in the night

laura is grateful for all offerings

II.
beware: hot sugar water sticks while it burns laura's skin

III.
laura's eyes change colour in response to sudden noises

IV.
laura may sometimes forget to respect authority; do not fail to respect hers

V.
laura and your father need some time apart

VI.
laura devises violent spam revenge attacks, then counts to ten and presses "delete"

VII.
never forget laura loves you
because one day she might stop

VIII.
punch a hole in your wall
when laura doesn't listen to you
then spread plaster dust on your face
