Abraham Kim last shared their writing layla
The past four weeks she had gone out every weekend. Some weeks she had even gone out on a Wednesday. It was wearing her down. She'd wake up tired the next morning. Not necessarily late at first. She'd be surprised at how early in fact. Only to feel the slump...

The Idiot as reply to Himself

The emptiness was nice. That's not how it was when he first came to campus. As a freshmen the hum and buzz of the  cafe got him high. The more people the better. Conversations. Laptos. Readers. People just staring out into the window.

Now he was sick of the cafe always...

eating alone as reply to Names

He heard a lot of stories. He would tie the names to the stories and this would allow him to remember. Greg the lacrosse player. Destiny from Detroit.

The stories had a lot of drama. The kids, new to campus, seemed to be going through more intense life changes than the...

names as reply to Through Everything

He still tried to remember their name though. If he'd see them again for whatever reason in the hall he would say hi to them and if he remembered, then their name. This is something one of his bosses had stressed: the importance of one's name.

 He had thought names...

polo double black as reply to It was Funny

He already knew because of the high school locker room that  AXE body spray wasn't particularly a good smell. But the scent didn't get on his nerves until that all boys floor. In the locker room the smell of the spray was so in yoru face that you just dealt...

howard separates from the housemates as reply to No Doubt

That was the last summer Howard really hung out with the housemates and that crew. He'd stop in and see them at big events but he went onto have his own life separate from the gang. Chuck continued to hang out with them and Howard kind of resented him for...

guilty sadness as reply to Full tank of Gas

A full tank of gas. That was all Howard needed to be happy back then. Before he left his parents his dad would drive out with him to the only gas station in town and fill it up for him. Then he'd walk into the store and pay. He'd come...

johnny's dead as reply to It was Chuck

Howard hadn't heard a thing about Chuck in over 40 years now. This was a long time. It felt longer when Howard calculated the year. Had that much time passed? He didn't think he had much time left.  He could go any year now he thought. Strange because even 40...

with the memories as reply to His Bladder

Back when he was young it would be a weeknight with no plan to do any real drinking. Someone's friend might come over and there might be two people in the kitchen cooking, with a few standing around drinking tallboys. Summer would've just began and so people were getting used...

a commotion as reply to When

He didn't make it past the fourth beer. His gal came, placed a blanket over his lap and belly and then took the opened cans. She shook his head as he poured the remains into the sink. They used to fight over him wasting beer like this. It still annoyed...

the day after as reply to I don't know

St. Patrick's day had come and gone without him remembering the holiday.

He might never be able to remember it from this point on, because from now on March 17th would always be the date where he had dropped a baguette on the floor and Johnny's girlfriend or whatever she was...
