Safety First!</br>As you may know, summer is not very long in the province of Quebec. You may also know there are lots of rivers up there. Some of them are at the same time easy to paddle (to a certain degree) and very secluded. So... for us ladies, it can be tempting to see in it a good opportunity to take a perfect suntan... Exactly what three lady friends of mine were doing on a perfect June day, going down the Bonaventure River in their birthday suits in their green canoe.The trip is normally made in five days, without seeing a house (except in the last half-day) but it's always nice to "feel free". The water was calm and the current steady... praying mantises were mating all around... The perfect vacation afternoon!Until...Four men who did not intend to have many surprises on a river that was reputed to be of no surprise had an endeavour of their lives! A bad manoeuvre sent one of the canoes smooth side-up and the guys in the other canoe worked to rescue them and their camping gear. When my lady friends became aware of the situation, they of course went to help, not thinking of the way they were "dressed"...after all, safety is paramount!.I don't know exactly how it all finished, but everyone survived and let me tell you, the guys were very happy about their "rescue team".It has stayed as a legend in my canoe club for years!

snow can be cold

The longer you keep waiting for snow, the more you forget how cold and uncomfortable it can be
The end

I am 28 today. I was 21 when all of this began. In the middle, there's a whole life, in a sense. I've moved, I had so many stories, I was a fresh twentyager and and now I'm on the verge of leaving my twenties forever.

In the first strip H. just got up from some useless, unrestful sleep.
The penultimate strip seems to wrap a day, a 7 years long day, as H. goes to sleep again, the last two panels recalling the first two of strip #001.

A very last strip was needed: H. wakes up again, and everything looks different. All the in-between struggle hasn't been useless, the loop is vanquished and so is the logic of jumping back to the first strip.

And, so to say, *it snows*

release, and though in the first moment there is no motion, one infinitesimal beat later we've fallen a fraction, so insignificant, but already we can't attain that state of perfection, that stasis, that stability and certainty that we enjoyed just before.  we've fallen away, and isn't it a relief?  isn't it a joy, to  be unbound from your own determinism and merge with the world?  we've falling away, we are falling away, and this next moment isn't like the one before, that hair-split in reality divides now from then, the unknowable from the knowable, and it's radically different, and now you feel a twinge of fear: maybe stasis was better, sure it was safer, at least we didn't have this uncertainty, this fucking POTENTIAL!  this MMMaybe, this loose free-fall of becoming to deal with, to choke down, and now we're scrabbling to hold on to something but what?  we're all falling together and you can't throw it back up and we can hold each other on the way down
amazed

I am amazed by the fact that you know which strips are missing/broken better than myself! It makes me feel... warm. Difficult to explain. Like when my mother notices that little wound on my hands that I didn't even feel.

Anyway, I am going to fix things as soon as I am finished with the story. Then it will be time to rebuild the past, including a brief description of each character, tiny things like those.

In the meantime, I am trying to put back together the fragments of my shattered present.

Is this the third time, then, that H has smiled in Last Cereal?

The first, I remember, was "an ironic smile, of course".
