as reply to Hotel Guy
The kid wiped his face and neck. Over and over. But he remained drenched in his own salty water.
He reached for the powerade, but hte bottle was empty. Damn nothing to drink in the car.
How long were they going to drive? The time said they'd only been driving about five...

When the shooting broke out, he knew the fifteen dollars an hour wasn't worth it.
He should've known better as soon as Blayne threw him the keys to his truck. Definitely when Blayne warned him not to go into Danny's house unless he was invited in. And why didn't he just...

never came back after
as reply to The Ritual
"So they really got your guy?"
Blayne nodded. Although he didn't know who the guy was. The guy was just a guest. But Danny wouldn't help unless he thought it was someone close to Blayne.
Danny took out a cigarette and lit it, his hands covering the flame from the sea side...

as reply to Could Do
Was his name Blayne? Or was it Blain? Nobody knew. Why'd it matter? Danny would say.
Danny always had a cool demeanor. The kids on Blayne's floor loved that. Always would be asking when Danny would be coming back.
Blayne liked it too. because now the floor hung out with him. but...

Jack heard someone through the door and walls. He thought about yelling. But then held his tongue. Who knew what was going on. What if that was an innocent person. What if Jack yelling would cause a commotion and get an innocent person involved.

The therapist's name was Carol. He called her Dr. Carol instead of her lastname. It was a joke they had. He talked alot about hi self. But also asked a lot of questions about her.

Blaybe grabbed the red pen and began to scribble on the white notepad. The Kid noticed everything in these next few seconds. He would remember the sound of the pen scribbling across the sheet for the rest of his life. As well as the sound of the sheet being ripped...
