"How are you feeling?"
A oddly large number of people have been asking me this lately. I've been saying "okay", because I haven't really been able to describe it. But today, while talking to Matt, this popped into my head, but I couldn't explain it to him(and this is why you should watch Firefly and Serenity, Matt, so I can use stupid metaphors.)

And there's that terrible sinking feeling, because there is hope, and possibility - but there's going to be a huge fucking stake coming though that window...right now.
But it is the second viewing. And you already know that no one else is going to...
