The phenomenology of depression

Noah Blue · 13 min read

The fact of the matter was I didn’t want to die. I’d spent a long time thinking I did, but when it came right down to it I didn’t. Any kind of life, even a shitty one like mine, was better than no life at all.

Gorillas have rights

Noah Blue · 13 min read

“Fine,” says the barman, shaking his head and looking cross, looking as if he’d rather be anywhere but this dingy shithole of a bar serving drinks to bibulous wastrels. He never wanted to be a barman. It just kind of happened. Everything in his life has just kind of happened.

A coming-of-age tale (mostly)

Noah Blue · 27 min read

My dad recently moved out of the family home and into a studio apartment in a rundown part of town known for illicit activities. Why that part of town, I have no idea. It’s not as if my dad is poor and has to live there. In fact, he could probably afford to live in the so-called salubrious part of town if he wanted to.
