god, all of this is so good, from the beginning of it (the distance of the crisis to the viewpoint character, the way she's thinking of this only tangentially) to the ending (the lack of inflection in cap's voice, the way you bring it back full circle to the job search).

holy. eff. and the headlines, where you can almost tell exactly which website posted which article (i'm pulling for mic.com on one of them tbh).

the reactions of the TSA agents as they realize. i am a kettle of high pitched shrieking. well done. have all these empty cigarette packets and old pay stubs, you're a genius.
