Keith hadn't touched his phone in weeks. Before he woke up in this room he would listen to  Imogen Howe 's voice messages like a  podcast .

That's one of the things he missed most being stuck in here. He understood that they wouldn't let him have a phone, but couldn't...

"Excuse me, miss."

Damn Elena thought. The  podcast was getting to an interesting point. She would need to resume a few minutes before. To get the whole thing setup again. You couldn't just stop and resume at the same spot. Conversations built up to a crescendo. Climaxed.

On our way to the airport I was squinting, trying not to be blinded. After seeing Ana off at the passenger drop-off, I drove home under violet swirls, the kind that makes you think God...

I can no longer count how many times I've tried to coordinate some type of Writing group. I remember each iteration I'd begin thinking "this is the time" as in I would believe that some in the group -- including myself -- were going to be writing 'here' 'together' until...
