as reply to Giorgio's
The man in the red convertible was driving down to get some cigarettes when he saw the young man. He was walking with a girl to the convenience store. Or actually no. They walked passed it. And they were heading into the pizza shop next door.

dennis goes homeless
as reply to Wanted to Know
Dennis was the smartest guy Johnny knew. And still he had ended up homeless and unreachable. Johnny tried. Damn he tried so hard. He even almost failed his medical school exams because he was driving all over the place looking for Dennis.

a server
as reply to What's your Deal
There were so many rows in a database. Anytime, anyone wrote a new post a new row would be inserted into a table in this database. This database lived on a server somewhere out in New York City. He had heard Dennis talk about this once. Back when he was...

they'd be talking for weeks
as reply to What's your Deal
The 5'6 adult girl stepped awkwardly across the street like one leg was tied. A 6'2 wiry frame enveloped her shoulder like giant trenchcoat draped over a miniature coat rack. The whole time he was uttering and groaning indecipherably.

johnny makes a run for it
as reply to And Madder
She was definitely mad. Fog spread against the glass in front of her mouth near the letter L of "Laundromat".
Johnny's heart was beating and he thought piss might escape his urethra.
He suddenly remembered how his mom would lose her temper. She had been a calm lady. So whenever she freaked...

as reply to Watch It
The old lady was once young. Drank a lot of Jim Beam herself back in her day. The youth could never imagine that. How the old people had once been young. Some of them knew that. Very few really knew they would be old one day. To them it was...

come to momma
as reply to His Book
This time he forgot his book however. So he sat there looking at the other customers in the laundromat. He didn't want to just stare at his phone. Because well... well it was obvious. People were spending too much time on their screens these days. So much that they would...

prickly
as reply to Actual Adult
The commute to the hospital took about an hour. He got mixed reactions to this. Some made it sound like it was the worst thing in the world. A great way to waste a large part of his life. Others said it wasn't so bad. A few said it was...

as reply to She Thought
Her first instinct was to buy
Jim Beam
like old times. She couldn't remember when she drank it last. Theo nly kind of whiskey she drank these days were single malt. She'd drink it neat, no ice or anything else: the scotch alone. She learned this from Imogen's ex brother...

cleaning
as reply to To Happen
He saw the timer on the dryer. 23 minutes. He had started a cycle for 45 minutes. So it had only been about 22 minutes since he began cleaning. He was surprised by how much he had gotten done. Some dishes, vacuuming, tidying up here and there. This made him...
