He buttered her up so good she had wanted more, and a quasi-relationship ensued. Truth is she was a bit nutty and funny like Charlie was. Once she had come over with a plant. Some kind of Ivy. 
"It's just a plant, thought you'd like it here. You don't have...

"Oh, yeah?" 
"It's kind of fucked up."
"I like the sound of that."
"I thought you would. Listen, did I ever tell you about Charlie? Guy I used to work with?"
"Nah, don't think so. Anything particular?"
"He was alright, kind of a funny guy. Like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. You know, made you...

The co-worker, again. Doug's curiosity got the best of his integrity and he picked up.

"Charlie! Long time, what's up, man?" He tried not to sound annoyed.

Started with The Lighter and went up to today's post and then went all the wat back to https://adagia.org/content/12701. Somehow feeling the Dick and Jimmy flow better than...

Reddit is for normies. After I got banned from there for suggesting trannies have a mental illness I deleted all my apps, never looked back. Last I heard these reddit readers are dead now anyway. No surprise the site's name rhymes with "faggot". Can't believe I wasted so much time...

There was this site a few years ago that encouraged you to write without stopping. Some kind of stream of consciousness type thing. I don't remember what, if anything, happened if you did stop -oh right, it was called freewrite.com or something like that. Anyway I found some stuff I...

Something pulled me back here. After rarbg went down a few weeks ago I felt a pang of regret and nostalgia. You wouldn't think a website has any pull -- let alone emotionally-- on your headspace, but I couldn't help feeling like this was the end of an era. The...
