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...

The Kid -- Charlie Samuels -- was poor. Or more accurately his
parents
were. This meant Charlie had to eat a poor child's breakfast:
cereal
and
orange juice
. He ate this every morning without variation. By the time he was awake his parents would already be at the
motel...

The Blue Man. Or his hold self on the screen. The kid said "that's my hero. I know he's disappeared since, but I still watch his old videos."

an accident

One time it was a Saturday morning. Marc Love had woken up a little later than usual. And since he wasn't going to work he didn't need to shave. The kids were still asleep. And he wasn't feeling so tired and thus wasn't cravingΒ
coffee

pending death
as reply to Go Back
The first thing Love noticed when he woke was the feeling of the air. Cool and a bit damp. The light outside was the type of bright white. Filtered by clouds thick enough to stop aΒ
sky
from being blue, but thin enough that things wouldn't appear gray.

close shave
as reply to Took Off
If he didn't shave, he ended up eventually looking like those kung fu masters with wispy long beards. He could never grow a full beard. That's why the man in the expensive suit had him shave completely bald before his videos. HE learned to shave using a straight razor. It...

Denver had been the one to introduce them. Denver was old school. Didn't know slick aboutΒ

Charlie only one thing went the days became this hot. They only became this hot in the summer when school was out. His parents would force him to go to the motel with them during the day. Couldn't afford daycare. Wasn't even a daycare center in town actually. The rich...

People seek answers throughout life. Some realize
answers
areΒ
ephemeral
.
An answer correct today will be less tomorrow.
Is there an answer that lasts? Weren't there discussions of such a thing. By buddhist andΒ new age thinkers?
Love thought about this while driving. His gas tank was near empty now. He usually...

woman found dead (2nd attempt)
as reply to A few seconds
When you have a car that's old enough to have miles under it's belt, but not too old that the repairs are getting costly, it can be easy to think that that car can go on forever. Can be difficult to imagine that one day theΒ
car
will become un-drivable....

In a glass covered hallway, a man draped in navy blue walked. The air outside seemed ready to turn over to late fall. For now the temperature was cool enough for a suit. But not cold enough to warrant a coat.
