She walked up to the door and was about to knock. But her hand didn't move. Instead she placed her ear against the wood and listened.

Nobody was home. There was light. And motion. But she could tell the motion was artificial. LikeΒ  Home Alone where the kid rigged up different...

get the writing out of the way as reply to Coffee Shop

At the coffee shop he hoped Mari would be there. Knew she wouldn't. She probably lived someplace further out. Probably didn't make as much as Jackie. Maybe Mari lived out in Queens or Long Island. The people in this coffee shop looked hip and rich. A world Joey didn't belong...

stuck as reply to Big Apple

New York city... where the girls are pretty.

Joey said this to himself for the dozenth time. He took another swig. The coffee was lukewarm now. Barely lukewarm. Could even be classified as cold. What was lukewarm even? Who was Luke?

Maybe Luke wasn't a name. Had a meaning perhaps. He might...

night shift woes as reply to Joey Thought

When he awoke Jackie was gone. She left for work at a reasonable hour. It was Joey's sleep schedule that was fucked due to working night shifts at the cafe. In the beginning the night shifts were shared between him and Tony. But after a few weeks, somehow, Tony convinced...

maybe as reply to Into a line

They say, there's still a land where kings bow to monks.

New York was not that.

Joey arrived to a flurry of sounds. Loud metal banging on metal. Jackhammers. Sirens. Motors. Horns.

He made his way to Jackie's. Took a few wrong turns. But finally arrived just in time before pissing his pants....

at the terminal, waiting to board as reply to Confuse Them

He walked around at the terminal for about an hour. He still had thirty minutes until boarding. He wasn't going to buy anything. But he finally caved. Coffee. He needed that. Well not really. But it would make this situation feel more fun. He hadn't told Jackie he was visiting...

in silence as reply to I just feel off

There must've been something in the air, Joey thought. Not only was his coworker Tony acting weird. But he noticed his girlfriend Jane being weird too. She rustled her fingers through his hair. "You're so creative."

"What?" he asked. Trying to laugh it off.

"You're like one of those artist types."

"Jane. What...

things flowed as reply to The Owners

The breeze of the evening rustled the branches. The shadows danced across the concrete sidewalk and the grass. Love walked with a cigarette in his hand. A cigar he had smoked earlier. But for a walk... he preferred a cigarette. Something about aΒ  cigar warranted that he be seated. A...

When he arrived inΒ  Bloomington, IN , he felt different. He wouldn't leave here right away like he did with any other place he stopped.

He didn't just pick the first hotel he found. He drove around a bit. Ended up booking a bed and breakfast downtown. It looked like one...

three tips as reply to The Neighbor

When he opened the door he was surprised to see his coworker Tony.

"You just can't open the door like that. That's how you'll get killed."

Tony came in without waiting for an invitation.

"Look I know what you're up to. So let me give you a few pointers. First one. I already...
