The Movie Theater at the End of the World As a child I threw the line around whenever it rained and I wanted to go outside and play with friends, ride bikes through new neighborhoods, get lost on trails in dark woods, creep around an abandoned house, play street hockey or baseball, or just sit on the front porch and talk and talk and talk, all of it irrelevant but somehow utterly perfect. Sitting in a dark room, watching movies, I convince myself I could get it right this time.
