A Somber Day
Hi Everyone, I struggled with whether or not to bring to attention the date, but seeing as how I live in NYC and many of my coworkers were here when the towers went down I just want to acknowledge it. I was in middle school when 9/11 happened, I can remember being brought to the…
Nonverbal Before Coffee
Anne and her friend Wren were sitting at the kitchen table talking easily over their second cups of coffee when Farley shuffled into the room and headed straight for the small, manual espresso machine on top of the microwave. Wren opened her mouth to greet her, but Anne shook her head. “Far is nonverbal before…
Wilder Side
He stands at the door of the subway, his left arm wrapped around his middle, his right elbow propped on his left arm so he can read his phone. He switches hands and continues reading. I know he is reading because his thumbs are still and his ears are empty. He has a black sporty…

Anne exhaled and dropped the draft she was reading on the table. “Ooooookaaaaay, Farley,” she said. “You sound like a serial killer.” “How!? How do I sound like a serial killer?” Farley demanded. Anne picked the paper back up and cleared her throat. “‘I find most of my artistic inspiration in the human body,’” Anne…
Disapproving Stare
Her short dark brown hair looks freshly showered, but I can’t rule out the possibility of just a shit ton of gel. There is an upper cartilage piercing in her right ear and her precisely done eyeliner adds to the violence of her disapproving stare. She has a light amount of pale pink eyeshadow on…

Everybody Talks….
Hey Y’all, I feel like this week was not a very exciting week posting-wise because of the empty hole on Tuesday, but I am using that space to massage my brain cells and open up the nefarious plot sensors. I also got sucked down into the black hole of serial killers. I have been wikipedia…
Dear Myself
Dear Myself, I have to talk to you about something, something difficult, that has been affecting our relationship for years, maybe even over a decade.
