Consortium Co- Op Flip Flop. 
Written By: Ash Catcher

I do not want to get married. 
I have never not once dreamed of my wedding. 
I have been on my own since I was 17 and that doesn't seem very fiscally responsible to me. 
I want to build a fucking empire. 
But my habit has teeth. 
and they are fucking nawing at me raw tonight. 

I hate 2 player videogames because I like to be uncooperative as fuck. 
Think of it as a sort of consortium Co - Op / Flip Flop. 

No thanks, I'll just read a book solo. 
Just trying to tread water, not trying to reach anymore karmic low lows.

I want to take all the gender norms in my family and toss them in the nearest bin, I want to unearth the shredder- an appliance I am convinced only Gen X owns.
I want to tear everything apart. 
I want to explain to my parents and grandparents that to get ahead in this world you can't just have one avenue of income, you need to adapt.  
I would have made a terrible child bride- way too much chaos- still too much chaos. That poor dude wouldn't know what hit him. If I am on edge grandma I am sorry I just paid rent and my credit card off in one day forgive me for the sullen stares at dinner. I have not eaten meat at this table since I was 11. 

I never dreamed of my wedding- what a costly dream my brain does not have the budget for those kinds of dreams. 
We prefer the cryptic dark cyber shit, not happy to sign your fortune away. 
I want to build something but I am not about to put a price on my freedom and sanity. 
I would have to abduct and chuck some pretty ingrained habits of mine- and you want to talk about sacrifices- well fuck your fantasy grandkids your relationship with your real kids are just that much rooted in pure fantasy. Imagine having to speak to you out of obligations. 

I am not going to sit and pretend to look the other way while you try and ruin another generation of people with your generational curses and trauma.
