"Being forgotten saves you the hardship of getting ahead."

Baltimore's port area is near the mouth of the Patapsco River, and the urban area surrounds the Patapsco Estuary.Now I have enough time to praise the beauty of my hometown, or predict whether the Orioles will mobilize all the cells in my body to sit in the audience and shout when the next baseball game starts.

The bed boards are made of iron, and if one day they hear from the prison that the prisoner’s choice of suicide is to hit the metal bed corner with his head, they will be very happy, and there will be one less bastard who is dawdling in life—— They, my colleagues, at least a few years ago, didn't think it was a good idea to lock their colleagues behind iron gates.

I counted the cracks in the damp-crumpled skin on the ceiling and divided it into pieces, wondering how long it would take for it to fall on my face.Bend your elbows and put your head under your head, just imagine the fluffy new lawn, the cotton candy clouds, the wet spring, and the fresh taste of the stems in your mouth.I took a deep breath in my fantasy, but my real chest soon collapsed.

Now let's face it, I was arrested.

I smashed up a bar, but at least I should have been given a chance to defend myself, and the other guy struck first and challenged my utmost patience with as many fancy words as he could come up with while sitting on the toilet seat—

The weather is fine and I'm wearing a black jacket with a glass of Chardonnay spilled on it that my sister bought me one day a year ago, if the man whose hairspray could cause a hole in the ozone layer over a bar Ken saves the money to buy hairspray to heal his shrinking brain, he will definitely learn to shut up when he meets me.

"Look at him," he whistled dryly, moving the few remaining bristles on his head, "Green Lantern is here—"

He grabbed the wrist of the passing waitress carrying the plate, ignoring the look on her face when she saw dog poop on his beautiful high heels, and the drunk was making a lot of noise, as if he didn't have to pay for calling Green Lantern.

"He's the one who got fired."

Oh.

"Green Lantern wipes the ass of aliens, lol."

Oh

"The source of the plague is like AIDS, which can be transmitted by blood."

Oh.

His drunken voice is like a chicken whose neck is pinched halfway through its crowing, and the smell of alcohol in his mouth can kill microorganisms in the air.Except that the background music is still playing, the others are just like a cassette. They look at Chardonnay on my clothes, the chicken feathers on his head and the wrinkled back of his head, and they keep order when forcing a class of primary school students to sing the national anthem silence.

Dad likes Marsala, so I smashed a lot of those types of bottles when I swung the bottle, like when he threw it at me.There was chaos in the bar, and they broke a bunch of light bulbs when I couldn't tell if I was you or you were you, and someone tripped a group of people by pulling a stool.

When the police arrived, I was only thankful that it wasn’t the old girl who caught me for the second time. She slapped me last time. This time I used squares instead of addition. If it was her who only slapped me, I would still accept it.

"Be gentle with the Green Lantern, man." I glanced in the direction of another police car, and the bird and his feathered companions were already stuffed into the car and headed for Hopkins Hospital.

"build…"

It's a bit like a sigh, like the sound that an old tree makes when its branches are creaked by a saw.

"It's you again." He casually pressed the handcuffs, raised his gaze at [-] degrees from the upper left, and then moved back. The sky may have been idealized by him, "Since you left us——"

"I'm going to be the space police." I can only raise my hands to stop him from continuing to talk about those boring internal documentaries.

I bet if I'm still a Red Lantern now I'll explode if he keeps talking.The blue light ring purifies the angry red, and I choose to take a temporary vacation. I hide in Baltimore and I won’t hear the truth about Green Lantern and him, or Oua’s daily behavior is standardized, and I can live without the ring for a few days. Watching movies and going on dates are all within your reach.

I turned my hands back and forth to show him.No ring, I don't have paid vacation, I'll ask the turkey for the compensation.

He reluctantly opened the door for me. "They'll all know."

"It's not the first time I've been on TV. Don't underestimate the local TV stations. They don't bother to take up time for such a boring news program."

When I stuffed myself into the car, I had already thought of the headline of the newspaper headline as "Ex-Green Lantern Fights with Local Citizens in Bar, Bar Losses Up to Ten Thousand Dollars", and next to it is the tourist information and printed in the same font size. "Baltimore Touching Stories Issue X".

"Don't smoke in the car, you're going to choke the prisoner, Marcus."

Then he glared at me.

I was locked up for a week and my brother greeted me at the gate the day I was allowed to leave, thank goodness I didn't go in for a week waiting for a slap on the eighth day.He gave me a hug, and then tried to explain to me the concept of "the family is used to it" in more understandable sentences.

He took me to the main street, and as time went by, the street lamps were lit one by one, and the flying insects under the bulbs gathered together like dust blown by the wind. If there is no light, the darkness will be impossible to verify. time, there is no evidence that life ever existed.

"The little saxophone band at school always takes out that precious thing and makes it scream twice." He said, "You can do the same thing in your own bar in Oa."

I stared at the street kissing couple on the next corner and told him, yes, I do it a lot.But I don't like orchestras.

Everything is fine at home, my brother told my dad misses me, my sister misses me, he misses me too, and mom - he means I haven't been there for a long time The cemetery saw her.

"Why do you have time to think about taking a vacation for yourself." He teased and thumped my shoulder, and I rubbed that place cooperatively.

"I forgot to wear the ring to go out because of an accident." He said.

My family's memory of me stopped when the Surrey Cougar appeared in the west of Surrey in 1960. Later, people would gradually forget about it because of work or time. It's like my family doesn't know that I'm no longer a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

"Do you think red looks better?" I asked back, then put my hands in the wrinkled pockets of my breasts and walked towards the kissing couple.

"What red?"

shirt.I answer him.red shirt.

"A green shirt looks better—"

The sudden sound made the quiet lane to Main Street dimmed by the big green glowing lighthouse, and Kyle Reiner came down over our heads to block the way ahead, the kissing couple swaggering from the gap between his arms and ribs, It just turned green.

You look best in nothing.

My brother's eyes moved between the two of us, and I heard him "oh" and envied that I had someone to pick me up and go back to work.

"You don't even want to go back to the Legion. I haven't been back to Sector 2814 since I was stationed in Oa. It's really hard to see you."

Kyle took two steps and opened his arms to hug me, and I went to his ear to correct him. "It's Earth, Kyle."
