Yes! This is it. Summer. Three months of reduced responsibilities and freedom. Long after you've graduated from school, even, you'll still be irreparably wired to think of summer as a time of respite and recharging—of free time.

Turns out, "free" isn't always good. Sometimes "free" is written in car-chalk on a mattress someone dragged out to the sidewalk. Just because it's free doesn't mean you should take it. Without purpose or direction, you feel restless and listless at the same time. Three days slip by and you can't remember if you were staring into the fridge or your Facebook feed. You can't waste your summer. You can't do this. Something needs to be done. Pile your friends into a car and go somewhere. Yes! Destination? Who cares. The journey is the destination.

They got into this weird hypnotic rhythm where they just repeated the release date, July 18th, over and over and over.

They drilled it into my head. It was all I could think about. It echoed feyly through the byzantine corridors of my mind, breaching in and out of its quivering lobes. To the point where I'd wake up at night in a cold sweat, wondering if maybe July 18th was the day I would die. Sometimes I still do.

Anyway, here are some things that have happened on July 18th.
