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...

being watched
as reply to Watching Him
There was a feeling the entire time. From the Uber, to the airport, and finally inΒ
New York
. The feeling of being watched.
He'd spent so much of his time watching others so he knew what it felt like to watch. It was uncanny to feel what it was like...

empire state building
as reply to She thought
Keith had never observed anyone who worked at theΒ
Empire State Building
.
Growing up,Β New York felt like the center of the universe. And little Keith could not imagine a world where everybody in New York didn't work in the Empire State Building.
Of course he grew up and got over...

spy again
as reply to Felt Different
Today he felt different. Today he wanted to know more. He spied on The K Man. And it turned out. He didn't actually wear the same dirty pants. Keith saw from K Man's laundry room camera that K Man actually did wash his pants. The pants happened to have a...

tall black
as reply to Back to Clean
Starvation. That's what people on the other side of the world faced. Keith read about it everyday in the news. He read a physical
newspaper
everyday with a
cappuccino
. Somehow K Man the barista convinced him to order a tall black.

keith saw truth
as reply to Want to scream
Most people's lives, most of the times, were delusions. It usually wasn't until the end of it that anyone saw things truthfully. That's why Tulsa skipped the middle of people's lives. There was no point seeing the meaningless middle. It was all noise.Β

driving to fog city
as reply to Sessions
It was a cool day. Made him not enjoy theΒ
vape
as much. Balmy summer days he could hit the magic all day err day. Would kill his throat, but fuck he would take another hit gladly.

what breed?
as reply to See you Soon
Maxxx was confused. Why would James send him that photo. Maxxx wasn't stupid. He didn't follow the news, but when three people died locally then you couldn't not hear about it. Especially when you worked at aΒ
diner
.
A lot of people talked here. Talked a lot. They wouldn't shut...

should've went to college
as reply to That wasn't in the plan
The new car made the perfect getaway. Tinted windows. As dark as legally possible. Michelin tires. A nondescript beige color. 300 horses under the roof. Henry also had made sure that the gas tank was full. Not that Big Joe and his lackey would need the full tank to get...

comfort on the phone
as reply to Folded
He picked it up nervous. When he turned it around there were no words on it. He had expected some kind of note.
He didn't know what to do next. Call her again. He did that. But nobody answered on the other line. He was not surprised by that.

turn of events
as reply to Got up and left
Even though he was fired... it turned out his company paid for those 4,000 hours he clocked.
At his 35 dollars an hour rate, that amounted to 140 grand. Not bad.
He would take a year off from work. Travel. He'd break up with Crazy Meghan first thing.
Yes. Maybe he'd meet a...
