Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

Peterson met Bishop at a Salt Lake City roller-skating rink the day before. They talked about skates, Peterson mentioning that he would like to sell his and buy a new pair. Bishop feigned interest, telling Peterson he would pay $35 for the skates. It is unclear whether Bishop agreed to meet Peterson on Sunday or what name he used, but Peterson left home with the skates telling his parent he had found a buyer.

I was laying with my back naked in the middle of the room. Ria Pacquée spray-painted a diagonal through the space and over my back. Then she removed the paint from my back with sandpaper. On the floor I wrote: “I don’t belong here”.
