The old lady was once young. Drank a lot of Jim Beam herself back in her day. The youth could never imagine that. How the old people had once been young. Some of them knew that. Very few really knew they would be old one day. To them it was...

This time he forgot his book however. So he sat there looking at the other customers in the laundromat. He didn't want to just stare at his phone. Because well... well it was obvious. People were spending too much time on their screens these days. So much that they would...

prickly
as reply to Actual Adult
The commute to the hospital took about an hour. He got mixed reactions to this. Some made it sound like it was the worst thing in the world. A great way to waste a large part of his life. Others said it wasn't so bad. A few said it was...

Her first instinct was to buy

like old times. She couldn't remember when she drank it last. Theo nly kind of whiskey she drank these days were single malt. She'd drink it neat, no ice or anything else: the scotch alone. She learned this from Imogen's ex brother...

There was snow, but not like she remembered growing up. She rememberedΒ

coming in December and staying for weeks. That never happened anymore. She wondered whether this was actually how it was, or if her memory was romanticizing the past. It was possible that she remembered the snowy days...

McKayla had always wanted to move toΒ
New York
. This desire she kept at bay. Deep down she knew the city would break her. It was a place where everything was monetized. To have fun in the city and live a good life you needed money.
