Okay so like, I am FUMING, absolutely seething, because I went to pick up my grandpa for his stupid card game — the weekly one, you know, the one with all his old cronies — and it was just… pathetic. Like, there were only two other guys there, just two! And one of them, I swear, looked like he was about to fall asleep in his soup, not even joking. My grandpa, bless his heart, he tried to play it off like it was fine, like "oh, so-and-so's got the flu, and old man Henderson is just having a bad day," but I know, I KNOW it's because everyone's just… gone, or going, or too sick to even bluff. And I just, I couldn't even look at him, because it's like, what am I supposed to DO? It's a tiny town, there's no like, senior citizen social club for him to join, it's just this. This sad, dwindling, frankly depressing card game. And I just wanted to scream, or maybe laugh, because it's so ridiculously bleak it’s almost funny, but also just UGH.
