The Bog by Jonathan Raymond

The Bog
Fiction by Jonathan Raymond
Originally appeared in issue #1 of 2 Gyrlz Quarterly

    Adam is the sexy one, who's driving, and Eric, the smart one, is in the back seat. It's his mom's house we're going to, out on the Olympic peninsula. Brad is the funny one, who comes up with most of our names for things, and finds most all of the music.

I'm not anything, really.
