Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved. Drugs, movies where stuff blows up, loud parties - all these chase away loneliness by making me forget my name's Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know.

I was on Batman with "Superheavy" or "Zero Year" where there was a lot of fun and bombast, but it was also personal.
