Devour it whole. Like a python. In high school he remembered kids talking about a video where a python tried swallowing a gator whole. And it exploded.
Apparently the video was disgusting. Derek never got to see it. But the kids told him not to. So he listened.

"What?"
"you heard me. Drop. The. Case."
"But--"
"God Dammit. I said drop the fucking case."
The Lieutenant turned around and stared out the window. The detective could see his superior's face reflected in the glass. The anger subsided from it. And a sigh came. Then he turned back around.
"How many weeks has it...

Regular people didn't have time to actually find out where theΒ
Blue Man
was. They could watch his videos. And sit in dark bars, drinking one more than they should over loud theories of whether the Blue Man was still alive or not.

Outside he went to a different place than the one he Googled. A diner caught his eye. Outside were several dark skinned men by mopeds. Their arms clung onto large delivery bags made of insulated material. It reminded Keith of those old school pizza delivery bags, but more 3D.

A commercial jet is said to burn about a gallon of fuel each second it's in the air. Keith pondered this while on his

Strange that all of that felt so far away. So long ago....

Things had not been the same since Chuck's therapist died.
Chuck's wife Linda thought this while drinking a coffee. It was already past noon. She usually never drunk coffee this late. But she'd woken up late. Things were different for her too. Not just for Chuck. Their home was in shambles.

The sky was red when he decided.
If his wife wouldn't allow him to stop seeing the therapist. Then he would simply kill her. Dr. Carol was her name.
He drank the last of his hibiscus tea. It was a different red than the sky. His wife asked him with a smile....

"Nothing. Just that. That's what my wife said."
