Obsession: Exposing

“Tomorrows Saturday.” Jueli reminded me.
“Ugh, I know, i know.”
“So what do you think he’s up too?”
“He couldnt talk to me directly, so he took extreme measures.”
“Dont you think he’s a bit unusual?”
“Just a bit, Jewels. He’s like..”
“Crazy?”
“Not the word I was looking for, but yeah.”
“Do you know alot about Marzark?”
“Its not like I researched the place, but its pretty exciting. Why?”
“Havent you noticed anything.. strange goings on around here?”
“Jared. He’s whats strange.”
“Has it ever happened before?”
“No, just when I came here.”
“Marzark isnt your regular town, Gabe.” Jueli warned.
“Or so I noitced, Jewels.”
“No, I mean it isnt a really good place to get too involved in.”
“Hmm?”
“I mean, people here, they get attached easily. Very easily.”
“Jared for example?”
“He is exactly my point. He’s like.. nevermind.”
“He’s like what?”
“Too attached.”
“I think beyond, but sure.”
“So you know what I’m talking about?”
“No, not exactly. What?”
“Uh, Jared’s… obsession?”
