Good to know that those lines resonated with you. They were there from the first draft, I didn’t edit them at all. The electrocute part is inspired by a line I read somewhere years ago, about having blood in your caffeine stream (it sounds better in German). Ironic how the best imagery sounds so obvious but you can’t force it… it just appears from who knows where.
I love the author notes and the questions you ask at the end of your newsletters! They always gives me something to consider as I leave and move into the next, “so important,” life task.
I like this a lot, Vanessa, and I appreciate the author notes, too.
There's something special about these two lines:
"a drunk badger tackles the light"
"nod off or electrocute your bloodstream"
Thank you so much, Nathan!

Hehe, that reminds me of similar that I've heard: “There's too much blood in my alcohol stream.”
