Alice,
DK asked me to forward this to you. I told him you werent interested in direct comms, and he grumbled a bit about that. But I reminded him it was him that was all toxic and he stopped after that. Guess he wanted direct contect. Not to hit on you or anything, just “I wanna float something past her” or whatever.
Didn’t read his email. just forwarding it. If you want to respond, I can do it once or twice, but really don’t want to be in the middle of this if you two start talking more than a few emails back and forth.
oh, got to thinking about it. if you want a copyu of EFA, I wouldn’t charge you. Free. For old times. Not trying to pcik you up or anything. Its just — Grendel was always chill around me and I got to thinking I ought to pay that forward a bit. You know. Or pay it back. Whatevs.
ANyway, let me know how to get you a copy of “#Two” and I’ll do that, k?

Alice,
I just wanted to apologize for my behavior in the commetns the other day. I had too much to drink and got all triggered on the tunnel talk.
Sounds stupid, I know.
See, I used to hit the tunnels back then too and have some unresolved issues. Not that that’s an excuse for how I acted. I’m just trying to explain why I was a jerk. A little. You know.
So I am sorry. Please accept my apologies. I shouldn’t have said those things about your brother. And I didn’t know he had died. Even drunk I would have known that was just mean. I have a problem and I working on fixing it. Hopefully you can overlook it and we can be freindly with each other. civil at least.
Also. Rumor has it Kali the Night has hooked you up for a little adventure. I got to thinking I could maybe resolve some of those unresolved things if yall would let me in on the thing which will not be mentioned.
I’d be in youre debt if you could put in a word for me. I need to let that shit go and seeing those old ghosts put to rest might help.
Lemme know.
Grendel was not a dick or a poseur. We just ran different crowds, is all. I’m sorry I was being all toxic and drunk.
Dan (DK)

Mike,
Thanks for forwarding this. I guess I should go ahead and accept DK’s apology. But that’s it. I can’t help but feel that he is more interested in smoothing things over because I might have something he wants. Kyle would tell me to forgive him and move on, but fuckity fuck fuck

Mike,
Tell Dk I accept his apologies and that I don’t know what he means about Kali “hooking me up”. She and I are just discussing music and she’s telling me about some hobbies of hers. Not that it’s any business of his.
I barely know him and cannot “put a good word in” for him about some “adventure” I don’t know anything about. He’ll have to talk to Kali if she has something going. But he needs to keep me out of it, if he does approach her directly. I don’t need him dragging me into any mess he makes.
The ‘zine is a nice offer, but I was going to pay you for it anyway. I’ll venmo you the payment and let you know where it can be sent when I do so.
Thanks for passing this on. Resolution is not always easy, but I try to find it where I can instead of clinging to anger.
Have a good rest of your day,
Alice
