Elon felt stupid wearing a white muscle shirt, jean shorts, and a baseball cap, especially in November, but the person behind the text message had told him not to dress like himself to avoid getting recognized. Like anyone in Middle-of-Nowhere, Northern California would recognize him anyway.
He waited by the shore of Whiskeytown Lake when he noticed a woman in a bulky black coat and Levi’s approaching him. He might not have recognized her if it had not been for the splash of green in her dark hair and the dark makeup.
“Billie Eilish?” he exclaimed.
Billie grinned.
“Surprised, Elon?”

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Oh boy...I loved this Billie Eilish twist.
Oh, I like Billie as a protagonist in this tale. She should combine forces with Elon’s estranged child, Vivian Wilson. I think her transition is what made Elon lose his mind.
I like the characters and yeah I can see Billie doing this
Whatttt??? Billie Eilish??? That was so random hahahahhaa
