The first time Farley went to the gynecologist, she was nowhere near as blasé. She picked at the appointment like a half-healed scab, and ran to her mother every time it hurt. Her mother, to her credit, did her best to assuage her daughter’s worries and fears, but a mother’s assurances can only do so…

Sensible
You can tell a true office worker, who has been working in the business a while by her shoes. She’s smart and despite her pretty, flattering dress and matching jewelry, her feet are clad in practical running shoes with cute rainbow striped socks. Her sensible or maybe sexy heels are tucked away either in the…
I Love You
His first “I love you” was spoken to me with a puff of white breath on a cold snowy January night. I had just received my first kiss and agreed to be his girlfriend. Startled out of my wits, I mumbled that I loved him back and climbed into my mother’s Honda. Love? How could…

Solitary
Bright, florescent pink running shoes and it looks like he’s not wearing socks, but maybe just really really low cut peds. Dark grey sweatpant shorts with a white drawstring. The exposed legs between sneakers and shorts are covered in long, dark hair. He’s wearing a body armor long sleeved shirt with the sleeves pushed up….
Timestamp 2007
There are bits of reality lying around my house. The mostly full, still hot, unplugged coffee pot sits patiently on the counter. It’s two sinks down from the cell phone chargers that are plugged only into the wall. The closet light cuts a swath of brightness through the darkened living room, cold in its emptiness….
