noticed the ding only after the door had closed behind him. That was an anomoly, he thought. Most of these store door bells dinged upon opening. He turned back to look up at the bell that was stuck onto the side of the door rather than hanging from...

got such bad gas mileage that she'd barely make any money. The car would also die eventually. And this was her plan.
She was going to deliver pizzas until the car broke down. A good way to send the car off she thought.

She sent one more text. Then she closed her eyes and tried to sleep. Didn't want to get stuck in a long text message. Also with who would this long conversation be? Some stranger who made his ownΒ

as reply to Look at this
After the car drove off it was a little too quiet in the house. Chris was dutifully licking the vanilla ice cream. "Come on," Ryan said while waving his hand and nodding his head, "let's get some pizza rolls."

One night she was bored. Alan was watching the fight drinking beer and eating potato chips. The volume was so loud. The images and colors were so bright. She decided to go to bed early. But she couldn't sleep. She sat there scrolling her phone. And then she had to...

as reply to Employee Discount
Every time he took a step the pants made swishing sound. He liked taking steps with these pants. Felt breezy. His mom would go crazy when he walked around the house in circles just to hear the swishing. "Go outside!" she'd say.

jack could be that
as reply to Employee Discount
While Bella was gone to get the employee discount beers, Jack watched the pool table and checked the bouncers' reactions. You couldn't get a read on them. They were calm. Poker face. Poker body language.
The kid who'd just cracked the pool stick was breathing heavily. Heaving almost. Waiting for someone...

a show is about to begin

Jack nursed a beer. The bar was mostly empty except for fidgety eyed youngsters who were trying to fit into the scene, be a character and too concerned with whether people were noticing them. Seeing them as they way they wanted to be seen. There was a slim young teenager...

Most things would arrive in two days. Crazy he thought, how the cafe needed constant influx of supplies. Otherwise the place couldn't run.
Kind of like his own body. He had to keep breathing. Oxygen. Every breath. Didn't matter how many breaths he had taken in his life before. If he...

"Thanks. I'll see you soon."
"Oh. By the way. How did you hear about us? If you don't mind saying."

jack feels lonely
as reply to Let the Mud Settle
Jack felt especially lonely that night.
He hadn't talked to anyone he knew in four weeks. Almost a month now.
At first it was nice. A relief from his past life. Breathing room.
But now he longed to talk to somebody. Only he didn't want to talk to someone from his actual life....
