He liked the diner, how it moved, and everything was together, in sync. Him and Dave had worked there for years, it was crazy, sometimes they didn't have to speak to each other, they just knew what the other one was saying, what the other was thinking. 

They had been...

There was a new cafe in another town far far away. If this other cafe had an online presence then Imogen Howe might've learned about it from all the time she was now spending online. However this other cafe didn't post on social media. They weren't on Instagram sharing photos...

Imogen was on her phone a lot. Checking it here and there. At one point she ran outside and was talking to someone, then she seemed to calm down. Jack noticed this, she acted like his assistant. Vigilant concerned. Jack looked at his burner phone, no one had his number...

Jack finally turned on his phone. Notifications started raining in, he wanted them all to stop. He had taken out enough money to be fine for like another weeks. The texts mostly consisted of threats, questions about "what the fuck he thought he was doing?" or "Where the fuck are...

"Well you two should get going no? Don't want to miss the dance."

"Mom. Can you stop calling it that? It's not a dance."

"Will there be no dancing?"

"People don't do that at our age anymore."

"Well why not?"

Jack smiled for himself and Alan. "We'll make sure to have a good time Lynn....

He read something last night. Maybe it was on  Instagram or  Twitter , where you don’t remember like the top writer or the top football player, but you remember a good teacher or a good coach. These people you read about don’t really matter it’s the people who are close...

Marianna didn't reach out of respect for Keith, she told herself. She then made her  Instagram public, and started posting here and there. Checking the views, and the likes, no one but the normal people, friends or friends, or friends of Cal. No one else. She was hoping for some...

Marianna worked at a school, although she wasn't a teacher. That was her end goal. Right now she helped the teachers, prepare lessons and things. He favorite class was art class, a lot of work for her, and made the day go fast. The teacher she worked for there was...

Jared was by nature a nervous guy. He triple checked that the door was locked at night, and when he left during the day he made sure the oven was off. Even though he barely used the oven, the microwave he used frequently nuking  pizza and other derivatives daily. After...

"So whats the deal with her ?" Jimmy said as they were walking back.

From the restaurant they had to walk up a hill, well that was the short way. You first had to climb under a fence then into a field. This field had trash everywhere, then you had to...

Terry strolled through the park doing his usually lap. Terry's walk he would later tell his wife . The whole perimeter then through the center. While he did this, he'd walk slow. Sometimes stopping at a bench, sometimes just scrolling through his phone. It was his lunch time, so he...

"At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral"

"What?"

"Its that song, you know Band of Horses, the chorus"

"No, I know the song, just at this time feels a bit off" Derek told his wife.

"I like it, its nice to listen to sad music sometimes. I never knew thats what...

Keith was in the public space outside of Marianna's room. His other friend just left to bed, and left Keith to find his way back home. He stayed on the couch in the public space. Scrolling through the most recent new's on earth. Then to  Instagram then to  TikTok and...

When the IPA hit his lips he let a long ahhh. The cool taste he hadn't had in awhile. Maybe it was last Tom's birthday. When he found out where he'd be stationed. He swallowed another gulp.

" You hear anything from Tom?"

"Not in awhile" Lindsay said.

She only kept...

There wasn't much time left. Soon something would irreversible would happen.

Uneven, deep breaths passed through her. Camilla was looking for his phone number. She had to reach him now. Before Fred arrived at his place. When Fred had left she had seen him concealing his left hand in his jacket....

Sandy Bridgers picked at the white glob on the verneer tabletop. She shivered slightly, then took out an Italian flannel shirt. Sandy aimed to keep a long sleeve shirt in one of the bags bags she carried, no matter the temperature. American buildings blasted the AC unlike any other country....

No action is ever out of the question.

There is always a proper place and time for anything.


Take a man's daughter from him

and threaten to kill her

but give him a chance to slit your throat

and he will.


When looked at like this

life is less about the individual

and more about the setting.


But who...

He hadn't been to SSD since he got his puppy. But before that he used to spend all his free time, weekday or weekend s, at the SSD. He liked the first S the best. It stood for  shooting range . It was not that he found pleasure in shooting...

Everybody was dressed like they might need to make an appearance on another's Instagram . A lot of black and light tans,. A lot of wool and metal.

You might not expect me to be fan of the holidays if you knew me in real life but i did actually enjoy...

When you're 23, the most exciting thing on your mind should be the new features you are unveiling to users this Friday. The most exciting thing should be that trip to Boulder next month. The most exciting thing should be how one day the startup you've just joined will make...

I'm glad  Instagram wasn't a thing back then. I would've been super annoyed with the amount of pics that we would have to take to make ourselves look cool. We still took photos, but not as many. But funny thing we did was we would just en masse post them....

She waited eagerly. Everyday. Especially when walking under the summer sky on her walks, wondering what this winter would be like. 

She secretly hoped that COVID would be worse this year. That it would be bad enough that her university would let her work from home again. 

She wanted this...

The error is nested so deep within the stack trace he feels cortisol flood out from his capillaries. After a few seconds of leg shaking he shuts down the laptop, shoves it into his messenger bag, and escapes.

Outside he is cast Instagram Blue. Bad day for perfect weather he thinks...
