In Which Abigail Snacks On Rocks

after Stardew Valley’s purple-haired, mineral-munching NPC

It’s New Age to say quartz and amethyst
imbue you with energy. It’s enlightened
to actually mean it. It’s New Age to suggest
manifesting your limitations away. It’s enlightened
to actually do it. If you’re like me, you’ll take
that step. You’ll see this pretty bounty of
the earth, how it glistens even brighter than
the finest fruit, how it hoards hidden nutrients.
In short, it looks delicious.
Nothing is forbidden. “Forbidden” is a construct
anyway. So brace your teeth. Take that step.
Put that quartz in your mouth.
