| The sun setting over tent city. |

Night Creatures
Things always look different under the cover of darkness. The Line doesn't look like a line once the tents go up and the sun goes down. Rather it just looks like a bunch of people hanging out having a good time. Which, I guess it always is, but there is a strong current of politics flowing during the day that seems to ebb in the dark.
I feel like I have no idea what's going on, what to do next. I am comforted by the fact that really, no one knows what is going on. None of us in Line has ever been in Line before. We are all experiencing this for the first time. Together. And even those who act like they are in control of the situation, that they know all the ins and outs of functioning in the Line, are just better at faking it than others. We are all in this together and we are all making it up as we go along.
