Gorgonzola College is a private institution housing one of the top 10 collegiate level basketball programs over the last few decades.

The results from Gorgonzola’s pupils have allowed it to be recognized as a top 100 national college.

Yet, many of its pupils would find it surprising that it would produce a Lyon Measle out of the 1,000+ graduates it produces every year.

After all, Gorgonzola College values intellectual depth and competence.

From the outside looking in, Gorgonzola College is exemplary. From the inside looking out however, Gorgonzola College is just like every other aspirational elite institution that barely makes it into the top 100…

It encourages unmeritable individuals to shine bright like a diamond.. only to faithlessly watch them be gruesomely treated by life’s most cut-throat & unforgiving beams of expository light after graduation.

The Lyon Measle, however, is not about Gorgonzola College nor its beautiful campus.

It is about an individual that would seem to be no different than you…

The Lyon Measle.

Despite an extreme dependence on his sterilized father and cake making mother, The Lyon Measle went on to land a subordinate job for a basketball team within the world’s most esteemed basketball league.

This story highlights Lyon Measle’s time during and after his undergraduate years…

A time when he was deemed so much more than just a simple lying weasel.

Chapter: Ring A Ring O’ Roses

On the Eighteenth September morning of the year Two Thousand & Twenty… the entirety of Bleu Moon was finally settled back into the house from summer break. They were able to get a taste of what the last couple of semesters would be like as it now had been a little over a couple of weeks since that first day of September that marked the beginning of the school year. The Bleu Moon Girls still couldn’t get that bittersweet taste out of their mouths after finding out that they were living with a highly coveted individual, in the form of a handsome young man named Kaizen.
Much like how their rise and fall of hormones had synced up, the Bleu Moon Girl’s thoughts had done so as well. After ensuring no guys were around, they would often discuss men amongst themselves, just as they did yesterday evening… Could it be that Kaizen truly has a big appetite for very appealing women… an appetite he can satiate in such a sagacious manner? If so, why does he wilfully choose to hide his very natural nature? Could he really care about every single lady he’s been with, so much so he’s willing to not expose all of his rendez-vous to keep their reputation intact? If so, why has he not reciprocated our advances towards him?… After all, we live under the same roof, wouldn’t it be very easy to hide our rendez-vous deep within the bowels of the basement? Are we not being obvious enough with him? Would playing hard to get work with someone like him? Are we not good enough for him? ALSO, how is he able to live such a sedentary lifestyle and remain so very fit & healthy while we have to grind so very hard at the gym to even get an ounce of attention? Is veganism really the way to go? Why is he able to remain working from home while we have to go wipe the butts of strangers and touch them in undesirable ways while he gets to stay home? What does he do? What does he possess? How much time does he have on his hands?
Sure, Yerma, Patsy, Ruth Leslie & Gair might be nice to look at… for someone that had no other options. So clearly, it would be hard for someone like them to keep Kaizen’s attention. Plus, the world often kept Kaizen very occupied. The Bleu Moon Girls didn’t know this however. So, given that Lyon and Fagan had failed to find any insight on Kaizen when they took him out for his birthday about a month ago (they had even invited Senica Sidwell & Layla Rohrbaugh to stop by and see what kind of girl he was into), the Bleu Moon Girls had to consult someone else whom they believed could get the job done when it came to an investigative task… Chap Chamberlin. This should have been quite embarrassing for Lyon, given that he was the one pursuing a career in journalism. Anyway, that’s besides the point.
There was a problem with the Bleu Moon Girls’ new strategy. First off, though both Chap & Kaizen were deemed admirable, they were entirely different people. Kaizen did not dilly-dally and always carried himself with integrity. Chap, on the other hand, didn’t seem to mind toilsome conversations about anything and with everyone. Chap was less conservative with his energy and much like Lyon, he also didn’t seem to mind warping any truths.
After all, Chap’s acceptance into Gorgonzola was mostly thanks to all of the sympathy points obtained through his ‘closeted sexuality’ and the ‘many perils it entailed’, as highlighted in his personal statement. Chap totally forgot to include any perils of the indulgent kind, such as having fellatio performed on him by others he deemed just as ‘feminine’ as himself, such as Ruth Leslie. Granted, he didn’t know Ruth Leslie back in his high school days, but boy did he like getting his very little masculine energy drained by Ruth Leslie during his time at Bleu Moon. Fagan had partaken in similar indulgences as well. Sometimes with Ruth Leslie, and other times with Gair. Unlike Lyon, who had been sodomized by his high school basketball teammates, Chap pretended to be ‘playing for the other team’ so that one day he could ‘change his mind’ in hopes that he could keep partaking in such indulgent perils. It would be easy for many to think Oh poor Lyon, his high school days must have been so very hard, which would be a waste for those many of their sympathetic energy given that he liked it hard. He liked the struggle. He liked the pain. He romanticized his high school days so much, he seeked many ways to keep reliving them all throughout the rest of his life.
Lyon’s head was always in the clouds, which is why he was of no use to the Bleu Moon Girls when they sent him on espionage duty during Kaizen’s birthday. Now that the Bleu Moon Girls had asked Chap to find out more about Kaizen’s sexuality, they had to deal with a situation that further complicated their inquisitional quest. Chap didn’t go out of his way to hang out with Kaizen, after all, Chap was the only other heterosexual male inside of Bleu Moon and he didn’t want to open up any doors to those he deemed competition. Chap was no competition for Kaizen, however. Another reason for Chap to despise Kaizen’s straight shooter lifestyle. Chap liked being in the spotlight, yet also not being deemed threatening. Hence, why he always wore clothes that made him look like a little boy. It also explained his pretend boyfriend, Lorge Knows. What was quite odd, if one were to think about it, was that Ruth Leslie had spent her college days performing fellatio on ‘little boys’ such as Chap & Fagan. But let’s not get distracted here. The Bleu Moon Girls were looking to inquire about a man. Chap didn’t like befriending individuals with an unapologetically masculine essence such as Kaizen. The best compromise the Bleu Moon Girls could think of was to use Gair Mallard’s birthday as an excuse to get closer to Kaizen. An excuse that would bring about many crises.
So this morning, in an attempt to help the girls save face while keeping his friendly reputation intact, Chap compromised and texted everyone in Bleu Moon to make Gair’s little birthday party announcement.
“All right guys, I don’t give a single flying fork about what you’re doing for the rest of the day. Tonight is Gair Mallard’s birthday party. It’s a 90’s themed party & every single one of you will be there!”
The Bleu Moon Girls, along with Patsy & Malaney, had also invited the Dixie Girls to the party, except they had actually been given ample time to prepare for such an event. Kaizen did not have this luxury. At least that is what everyone thought. Kaizen was always prepared for anything and everything. He didn’t take life too seriously.
The Dixie Girls were infatuated with Kaizen. Many, if not all of them, had bumped into Kaizen at some point throughout his collegiate life. Gair Mallard’s birthday would be the perfect occasion for them to pounce and see which one of them Kaizen prefers. Little did they know, that night, would not go exactly as they planned.
Sage Burland, Taylor Hues, Britney Hues (an honorary ‘Dixie Girls’ member as she had just arrived on campus to finish off her last college semester with her sister), Elsie Appleman, Cathy Blake, Havana Crosse, Blaire Darton & Fabienne Freckle made up the Dixie Girls. They liked to think of themselves as Southern Belles yet still sophisticated enough to keep a refined sense of taste while everybody on campus only saw them as ‘hot stuff’. They weren’t far from it. Hence, the ‘Dixie Girls’ name. Dix meant ten in another language which reflected very well their ‘ten out of ten’ self-perception. They just added the ‘ie’ at the end to make it sound cute. They were creative, to say the least. Kaizen accounted for them as the ‘Dixie Chicks’. He felt it suited them better.
After Chap’s morning announcement, Kaizen compiled clothes from his closet that would provide the best composition for a 90’s themed event. After doing so, he kept himself busy until the rest of the house arrived from either their work or school related activities. The last one to arrive at the house for these kinds of events was Yerma. She felt she had the most in common with Kaizen. Both Yerma and Kaizen were seen as having very antisocial tendencies, but really, this was due to them being the most productive individuals within Bleu Moon. All the guys, including Kaizen, did find Yerma to be the most attractive girl in Bleu Moon, but a very nicely carved body and a tight bum was not enough to make up for Yerma’s unlikeable personality. Her insecure habits and awkward personality repelled any normal guy, which in an odd way, was exactly what she wanted. She wanted someone who only used her for her body. She wanted to feel what other girls seemingly had managed to attract quite easily… the masculine embrace of a tall, dark and handsome man. Due to her twisted way of forcing a tall, dark and handsome man to feel inclined to approach her… she often found men like Kaizen fleeing from her presence. Yerma’s nature was both a gift and a curse.
Right before heading over to So-Li Brewhouse, Yerma made sure Urbana Partisan was invited to Gair’s birthday party. She wanted to feel as if she’d contributed to the social aspect of the party by inviting someone she had a lot in common with. Urbana was also blonde, though of the platinum kind, and they were both going to be nurses. Unlike the other Bleu Moon girls, who wanted to be doctors and physical therapists, Urbana had been pursuing the same bachelor of science degree and knew what it was like to be a servant of many in the form of a nurse. Also, both Urbana and Yerma, had ties with those working for law enforcement. Yerma’s father, Thiede McCallum, had been part of that workforce his entire life. He eventually became a well respected detective. Urbana would eventually marry an enforcing officer going by the name of Augustin Goldstone. She just did not know it yet.
Bleu Moon’s plan for the night of Gair’s birthday was to head over to So-Li Brewhouse, drink some drinks, and then come back to Bleu Moon where they would meet the Dixie Girls along with Malaney and Patsy. Gair’s boyfriend, Kanhaiya Chargeant, had come all the way from the Southwestern part of the nation to join them on their walk to So-Li Brewhouse and have a good time at the house as well. So-Li was located about three blocks south of Bleu Moon, on the Eastern side of the road. This would provide Bleu Moon the perfect opportunity to inebriate Kaizen and hopefully, put him in a vulnerable enough position to gain more insightful information about him. They wanted to know what made Kaizen tick. They wanted to know if he could be inebriated to the point where perhaps one of the girls, be it the Bleu Moon Girls or the Dixie Girls, would get lucky with him that night. They also had something else, quite special, planned for him that night in case everything went according to plan.
Once Bleu Moon arrived at So-Li Brewhouse, they were greeted by an attractively pleasant and familiar face belonging to Senica Sidwell. Senica led them outside to wait for their table to be ready. Though often reserved, Kaizen had always been a big witty flirt, and fun to be around because of his animated nature. What made Kaizen especially amusing, was how respectful he always seemed when flirting with everyone. His flirtiness gave those that didn’t deserve his attention a false sense of worth, and a boost of self-esteem to those that were accustomed to this sort of behavior. Kaizen knew this, and had a fun time knowing his attendance at Gair’s birth celebration (which he viewed as a good deed in the form of community service) would warm a lot of hearts and make even more people weak at the knees.
Patsy sat next to Kaizen during their wait time and sized him up to see if he would be boyfriend material. Kaizen, naturally, acted coy. He didn’t completely dismiss her so as to completely destroy her hope. When Kanhaiya stood up from his seat to get closer to Gair and turned his back for a split second, Kaizen quickly licked his index finger and pointed at Kanhaiya whilst making a ‘zzzzz’ sound to compliment Kanhaiya’s lean anatomy as it looked like he worked so very hard for it. Gair hated this, but she kept it to herself. She hated that Kaizen wasn’t in the least threatened by someone like Kanhaiya. Gair thought that she had been very clear when she made a move on Kaizen that summer, and hopefully one day, he would give her an excuse to break up with her boyfriend. “Kanhaiya is the only person I kiss” she had told Kaizen during the summer, right after she had let herself into his room and locked the door. This out of the blue comment had come after a series of compliments aimed at Kaizen’s advertising agency, even once calling it his “well-conceived baby”. Gair thought that maybe if she drew enough attention to her one piece cougar colored leotard during that one night in the summer… maybe if she convinced Kaizen that “everyone needs some companionship here and there”… maybe if she cornered Kaizen enough, leaving very little space between him and her while he was in bed… then maybe he could convince him to put a baby inside of her. Although she had not worn it for months, she told anyone and everyone she had an intrauterine device, especially guys she wanted to bed. Kaizen, being a man with a moral code, never conceded to such advances, especially with a girl like Gair.
The fact Kaizen was very indifferent towards Gair and Kanhaiya’s relationship was very heartbreaking for Gair. She thought that maybe Kaizen would display an ounce of jealousy. She was also very disappointed at how painfully socially unaware Kanhaiya was all the time. Kanhaiya was, in some way, the opposite of Kaizen. Kanhaiya had lied about his height to keep playing collegiate football. At least Kaizen had a moral code. Still, Kaizen respected Kanhaiya’s work ethic. It takes a lot to come all the way up north to visit a deceptive girlfriend. Though Kaizen felt bad for Kanhaiya, he didn’t let this dampen the mood.
Once Senica was making her way over to notify Bleu Moon that their table was ready, Kaizen made a point of letting everyone know he was starstruck. She had been at Kaizen’s birthday party, thanks to Fagan. So Kaizen called Fagan’s attention and mouthed the words “Oh My God” while pretending to hide his face behind his own hand and playfully acting coy towards Senica. All Fagan could muster up was a weak chuckle. If Senica had really tried, she could have probably kept Kaizen’s attention for more than a night. It was unfortunate, for her, that she had to wait tables that night. Otherwise, she would have tried to see what Kaizen was all about. At least that is what she told herself.
Once everyone was seated at their table, Kaizen continued to be an enhanced version of himself. So as to liven the mood, he made sure to flirt with everyone, or at least make an alluring face to everyone. Kaizen was forced to sit next to Lyon, which he didn’t like. Lyon was a boy no one could ever take seriously, even for someone like Kaizen who respected all walks of life. Kaizen viewed Lyon as a coward. Everyone instinctively knew Lyon played for the other team, but he tried so hard to hide it. It was like if someone as straight as Kaizen pretended to not be straight, it would be odd and unbecoming. Lyon hated Kaizen, for he had the courage to be as honest as possible in all realms of life, whereas Lyon often hid his odd desires. This was another reason as to why not only Kaizen, but many other people, had no respect for someone like Chap who hid his heterosexuality.
So when Kaizen mockingly made kissy faces towards Lyon, Lyon reacted like any other coward would… he made his best attempt at seeming like a masculine guy by punching Kaizen’s liver. Thankfully Kaizen had the best reflexes known to man, so in spite of being forced to be slightly inebriated, he rolled with the punch. Still in a righteously mocking manner, Kaizen playfully uttered “I could’ve died right there”. Ruth Leslie, who was sitting in front of them, couldn’t help but giggle. She couldn’t wait to go back to the house to ruthlessly make herself known to Kaizen, no matter what it took. Malaney sat next to Ruth Leslie awkwardly. It was as if she wasn’t even there.
Not long after Bleu Moon had arrived at So-Li and eaten their dinner, they decided to make their way back to the house. A party needed tending. Their quest back was sidetracked by a photobooth that attempted to suck everyone in. The only immune one to these kinds of sentimental formalities was Kaizen. When everyone told him to get in at the last second, he pulled out a kissy face that made its way slowly to Yerma. Yerma could not hide her blushing face. She was, however, able to hide her intrusive thoughts… Oh please, Kaizen, just do it already. What are you waiting for?! Put your lips on my cheek and make me yours!
Beep… beep… cluck-cluck-cluck the photobooth quickly snapped. Kaizen stood up and said “Guess it’s time to go!”, leaving Yerma alone in her thoughts. She finally stood up, after being pushed out by everyone, and proceeded to follow them back to Bleu Moon.
As soon as Bleu Moon arrived back at headquarters, it didn’t take long for the celebration to commence. The Dixie Girls were the first to start transporting themselves into the living room, attempting to find parking space for their well-fitted ‘dumptrucks’. Given that Lyon & Chap had already cleared out the living room by moving all furniture to the sides, this was not a hard task for the Dixie Girls to accomplish. Fagan had excused himself to his bedroom as soon as the first invitees arrived. Patsy, Malaney and Urbana had already been at the house way before Bleu Moon arrived. They had been hovering in the kitchen, making it seem as if they were on some sort of patrol duty.
Chap ensured the LED RGBW strip lights were on and pulsating to provide ambience while he played his playlist. Chap had worked very hard on the playlist, a multiple week effort that did not disappoint. This provided the perfect environment for a small party. The Dixie Girls and Bleu Moon spent that night playing a few card games but mostly spent it with a bunch of dance games since the loud music defeated the purpose of a card game.
All of the dance games played that night, including Cha Cha Slide, was the perfect way to get everyone involved. This was because everyone there, in some way or another, was a dancer. Sage & Elsie were among the most attractive flyers in the school’s cheerleading squad. Elsie was also part of the school’s dance team, along with Lyon. The rest of the Dixie Girls enjoyed dancing as well, especially when Elsie taught them a few dance moves. Pretty much the entirety of Bleu Moon met each other during their first year dance class elective. Ruth Leslie remembered very clearly how smooth Kaizen could be on the dance floor. She reminisced about the time her first year dance class cohort had been invited to observe the other dance class cohort during finals week, of which Gair, Lyon, Kaizen and Urbana had been a part of. The most memorable dance presentation had been Kaizen and Urbana’s group, mostly because of how out of their heads they were the entire time as well as the manner in which they had finished off the dance. Kaizen had kneeled, providing a sort of seat for Urbana to sit on and provide the audience with a ‘grace face’ pose. Every girl in that dance room had wanted to be Urbana at that moment. Kaizen didn’t mind having Urbana sit on him, given that during her first year, she had been donning one of the most inviting bums in the school.
This memory, which had slivered into Ruth Leslie’s head, seemed to have sparked something that made her feel extra girly that night during Gair’s birthday. She could not stop thinking about Kaizen. She hoped that he had noticed her in her revealing outfit… nothing but a bra to cover her upper body, a blue bandana styled nicely around her head, and some light blue jeans to match her sneakers. She had changed as soon as she arrived back from So-Li Brewhouse. It was hard not to notice, not only for Kaizen, but for everyone else as well.
The most peculiar part during Gair’s birthday that night had revealed itself during one of the dance games. It had come from a dance trend on ClickClock. Though it involved less touching than an Appalachian big circle dance routine, it somehow managed to be more obscene. The name of the trend is hard to remember. The beat, not so much. It included an inciting beat, a not so complicated yet still a crisis inducing three quick beats, followed by a climactic and resolutory beat. Something like bwaaah bweeh-bweeh-bweeh boom… bwaaah bweeh-bweeh-bweeh boom… bwaaah bweeh-bweeh-bweeh boom…
This ClickClock dance trend involved coming up with a dance move, and then doing another dance move that indicated you’ve passed the beat to someone else. Kind of like a ‘pass the beat’ dance. It was very childish. Though Kaizen was very good at it, he detested it. The one that liked this game very much but did not perform very well, was Lyon. When Lyon’s turn had come, he pushed those closest to him in the circle to the side so there could be space for him to get on all fours and proceed to thrust his pelvis on the ground. Lyon thought everyone around the circle would find his ‘humping-ground’ abilities appealing. All this did was make everyone very uncomfortable.
Notably, though not by doing much, Kaizen drew the most attention during Gair’s birthday that night. This was normal for Kaizen. Plus, there was a higher ratio of girls to guys, so he didn’t take the situation very seriously given the unfairness of the situation. This, however, didn’t stop Blaire Darton from screaming “Yesss Kai” every time she found the chance to do so. Eventually, she could not help herself but to go over to Kaizen, grab Kaizen by the hand and spin herself as if she were his girlfriend.
Who the fuck do you think you are Kaizen thought to himself while he very cordially spun her one last time and retreated from the dance game so he could make his way over to the kitchen for a breather. Once Kaizen crossed the beaded curtain decoration hanging from the head jamb of the kitchen, he noticed Ruth Leslie had followed him. She gave Kaizen a quick and subtly flirty smile before bending over to grab one of the red balloons that had stumbled onto the kitchen from the living room, making sure to take her sweet time on her way up, so as to give Kaizen a nice view of what could be his for the night. Everyone, even Kaizen, pretended not to notice this. In an attempt to shift the attention of the room during the current situation, Kaizen turned over to Urbana and asked “Were you able to see exactly how Fabienne tripped and fell?” Kaizen, was genuinely curious as he had been one of the few that did not get a glimpse of how Fabienne had tripped soon after arriving at Bleu Moon.
Although Urbana had seen it, she did not want to bring attention to it, so she began to shake her head. Milliseconds after Kaizen had verbally inquired and Urbana had physically responded, there was a high pitched woop-woop outside of the house. The boys in blue had arrived.
The Dixie Girls & Bleu Moon had come in contact with each other frequently due to shared clubs and activities, so coming in contact with each other at this indoor social gathering would not break any of the school’s indoor social gathering restrictions. Plus, at 7 residents, Bleu Moon residents would technically already have been breaking these restrictions even though they had signed their lease agreement before the kungflu virus had caused all of the nation’s restrictions and social panic.
Explaining all of these circumstances to a law enforcer, was something that no one wanted to do. At this moment, Bleu Moon, the Dixie Girls and other birthday party attendees had been presented with two bad choices… these choices were either confronting law enforcement amidst the widespread kungflu virus or avoiding law enforcement by either fleeing or hiding from the scene.
The LED RGBW strip lights went from a rapidly pulsating rainbow glow to a still white light. The torchiere light turned on and followed suit, revealing the creamy white inner walls of Bleu Moon. Patsy Chi was the first girl to run out of the kitchen side door. It seemed she had already developed an instinct for avoiding situations in which she could be blamed and become a victim. This stemmed from previously having lived with the Bleu Moon girls, who had found it quite easily to use her as a scapegoat during the most trying of times. Kanhaiya Chargeant left the kitchen and made his way upstairs to Gair’s room. Fabienne Freckle had already left earlier that evening since she couldn’t handle the embarrassment of being the only one of the Dixie Girls that could not pleasantly coordinate her hips in a dancing motion. Sage Burland, Taylor Hues, Britney Hues, Elsie Appleman, Cathy Blake, Havana Crosse and Blaire Darton followed the same path that Patsy had taken to leave the house. They too, had run faster than a speeding bullet. Malaney Carlson froze in the kitchen. Urbana had taken this opportunity to head downstairs to Fagan’s room, and drain him of an even smaller masculine energy than the one Chap possessed. Lyon, Chap, Gair, Yerma, Ruth Leslie and Kaizen were the only ones to head towards the front door and confront the law enforcers.
Luckily, for Bleu Moon, the house technically belonged to the school. This meant that any disputes had to involve members of the school’s campus security as well, which were standing about six feet southeast of the law enforcers. Yerma stood ‘bravely’ in front of Bleu Moon while Kaizen ‘sandwiched’ them by standing in the back and watching their six. The law enforcers requested Bleu Moon’s student id cards, to which they complied. After receiving all of their cards, the law enforcers asked a lot of odd leading questions in hopes of knowing a little more about the members residing in the house. One of the first questions asked included “Is it just the six of you at this indoor social gathering?”, to which Gair unhesitantly responded “Yes”. Expecting this answer, the law enforcer asked “So all of the other girls that just ran from your side door were not part of your little congregation, right? I’m going to need a little more information from you.” The law enforcer asked a series of questions to each of the six Bleu Moon members standing outside that night, each one received one question regarding their student id. Almost all of the questions made sense. The only one that didn’t was the one that was queried to Kaizen… “What’s your middle name?”. Given that this was a stupid question, and that Kaizen was positioned farthest away from the law enforcer, Kaizen took this opportunity to amuse himself and ask a perfectly valid question… “Could you repeat that again?”.
“What is your middle name?” the law enforcer repeated himself. Who knew what was running through Ruth Leslie’s mind at this moment when she decided to butt in and request if the officer could “please say it louder for the people in the back?” while backing up her buttocks and letting it sag on Kaizen’s crotch. This made Kaizen very uncomfortable. The law enforcer irritatedly repeated himself for the last time… “What. Is. Your. Middle. Name?”
“Oh… I don’t have one” Kaizen finally replied. The law enforcer gave the student id cards back once they had been recorded by the campus security. Soon after law enforcement and security left, Bleu Moon went back inside to flee from the prying eyes hidden behind the windows of their neighbors. They had a quick conversation attempting to figure out who had called the police.
Chap had exempted himself from any responsibility by stating “Okay guys, I know I called the po-po on Lyon and Fagan that other time, but I did not do that this time!” Everybody else released themselves from responsibility as well, however, in a more believable manner. After no one seemed to pinpoint a perpetrator, they called it a night and went to their rooms. Urbana had said bye to everyone as she headed out of the front door, but not before cleaning the white gunk dripping from the side of her lips with her sweater.
Gair’s birthday was revelatory. It would prove to be more revelatory, once it was made known who had called law enforcement and why. The answers to those questions would show the true character of Bleu Moon.
Lyon scrolled through ClickClock that night before going to sleep. The length of the videos he watched that night averaged a length of about forty-five seconds. Lyone Measle’s entry for the night within his cardboard covered wide-ruled composition notebook read…
