In Our Short Years, We Come Long Way: Alien Ant Farm and Lit Play Paper Tiger 08.23
The lights were dim and the disposable contact lenses I was wearing were way past the monthly recommended utilization period. Shawn and I had been standing for less than ten minutes and I could already feel my knee buckle from keeping my body weight on it. We were...
