"That's some Stephen King thing, right? I was never a big fan of the guy." Not even when he was alive. "Now my brother... he's the pop culture guy. I think he saw every movie ever made." She doesn't talk about Yorick a whole lot out here. First, it's stupid and second, if walls have ears, then what about corn? That's what they call the damn things: ears of corn.
"But no. Movies weren't ever really my thing. You could say I'm a little pop culture-impaired." They all are now, of course: there haven't been any big Hollywood blockbusters since the plague started, or at least not that she knows of. And that's weird, because society loves its entertainment, even at the worst of times. Then again, ancient Greek and Roman societies were a little more balanced than this one. What's the point of some unattainable romance? And no one wants to see horror, because frankly they've all seen enough of it.

"What about it?"
