OH MY GOD! We're at Charterstone Pool Party, the best party of the summer!Only, it's barely March. Is the Hemingway Complex on crazy pills? Because the last time we were here, it was summer, and then Drew had some crappy dates, and then Mary had a dog and gave it back 10 minutes later, and then Drew had another crappy date and here it is summer again. What? What? What is this time warp? Here the Hemingway Complex was under the impression that Charterstone time just moved very slowly (e.g. "Waiting For A Star To Fall" playing at a coffeeshop) but apparently it has sped up. Or does Mary have the ability to wind time backwards and change details to suit her whims? Are we actually at last year's pool party?!
PS, old Drew has not fared well. Here he was on track to change his life for the better and go have some fun, but Mary has strong-armed everybody to get her way (which is, Drew off to Vietnam, and no more competition for Jeff's attention). Classic evil stepmother! I think Drew recognizes what is happening to him as the plane takes off with him trapped inside:
Especially since he is backwards from the seats. He's freaking out in there, being sent off to contract cholera and be heard from nevermore.
