where could dave be?
Carl was worried for his boss. Dave the Big Dog had never shown up to work late in his two years there. Now it was eleven. No message or whereabouts known.
"What do you think we should do?"
"Shush. Let me think, James."
Only the two of them knew that Dave hadn't come...

what would it be like?
as reply to She asked
Aaron was doing well on paper. New York City. Chef. Self Made.
But because he texted him everyday he knew that his personal life was different.
"He's doing fine." he said. He could've said that he was doing good. But he didn't. Why?
"That's good." Imogen smiled. Did she hear him wrong? Good?...

He turned the engine off and read the text before putting the phone in his pocket. It was his friend. They texted each other several times a day. But he didn't look at his phone when driving. He wouldn't respond to this text until later. There was nothing to say...

His shift was only half done. This was the worst part. Stuck in the middle. At least a liter of sweat lost in this hot kitchen. Hot and loud. The fan they had spinning to ventilate the kitchen made it feel like they were working nearby...

after pizza
as reply to On the Cold
Joey wiped the curst off his lips then dusted his fingers onto the tray. And then he wiped the grease off onto napkin that reminded him of paper towel.
For a moment he wished he was back home. What was he doing here?
That feeling quickly disappeared when he went outside. It's...

His first name was Cash. It was not a nickname. His mom had given him the name during a different time. People didn't call moneyΒ

funeral home
as reply to Some Questions
The man was obviously a detective. Joey could tell by his demeanor. His emotions weren't shook like the rest of the folk. No. He was here strictly on business.
"I'd rather not."
The man pulled out a badge.
"That's completely fine. But it would help us maybe figure out what happened. We actually...

Joey left his gun on the dresser before heading out. He had thought about bringing it. But why bring a gun to a funeral? Was that even legal, he wondered.
He had bought this gun with his friends during the weekend of Joey's 21st birthday party. It had made them feel...
