Abraham Kim last shared their writing George Baker enters the cafe
George Baker 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...

win win as reply to To Be

Up in  Spacecity Keith had worked more hours a week than he had ever done on earth. Yet it never felt like he was working. Each working day felt like he was just 'being'. Doing something he would normally do had he had the day off.

This was probably why he...

where'd you go? as reply to Find the Time

She couldn't find the time anymore. Back then she could only write regularly because of a trick she learned from a co-worker named Abe.

He said, "All you need to do is have a  notebook with you. Make sure it's not a nice one. The nicer the notebook, the more you'll...

a routine as reply to Afford That

He liked writing about the man who lived exclusively off delivery. Over the days he observed him more closely. Certain things felt peculiar.

Like how the man never left the room. It seemed like he stayed there all day. Another thing was that the man never seemed to order the food...

close enough as reply to Called Out

Jack was lost. It'd been months. He should've had his book out by now.

Instead he had run from California. Nobody online knew where he was.

He'd gone to Westcity . Big enough that he could blend in. small enough that he felt a part of something. And the real reason. It...

heat as reply to Called Out

The infared camera was Dave's favorite. When it was dark, the guy in there couldn't see shit. But Dave could see all of the guy. His heat.  body heat was an amazing thing. Something Dave took for granted until this job.

There were so many movie scenes he rememberd. Where a...

watching as reply to Would Happen

The room had no windows. He faced a computer all day. And the coffee was bad.

But he was no longer in that motel room. So he was glad to be here.

Big Joe still brought him Chinese food. The same kind he got delivered in that dingy motel room. He'd...

keith wondered as reply to Keith Thought

"Have a little bit more to drink."

Keith looked at the cameras. Wondered which one was the one the person was looking at. Keith wanted the person to see Keith straight on.

"You must be thirsty. We know you're dehydrated. So go on. Have a drink."

Keith kept looking. Felt his mouth with...

nice to know as reply to Turned Around

Dave... the other one, not the one who worked with Keith in a lab, was still stuck inside that motel. He hadn't eaten in four days now. Was worried  Big Joe would never return.

Dave felt the fat on his stomach. Estimated he had about four or so weeks left to...

a familiar coastline as reply to Could Do

There was nothing good on. All the good stuff went to streaming services now. The  TV was akin to paper mail. Nothing but junk and ads.

But the big man hadn't left him a computer. He didn't have his phone on him. There was nothing to do but watch the tube....
