sometimes you just gotta say, "buck, step forward."

because sometimes you're the only one who hasn't. everything else has stepped forward. everyone else has fronted for whatever eternal roll call this is. and you're still curled up in bed, trying to keep warm, trying to keep safe. but you just gotta say it. buck, step forward.

and sometimes you've gotta say it twice. step forward, k? it's hard enough already.
