They took him to a big metal pull barn that was the size of a hangar. Inside the air was cool and dry like they were air conditioning and de-humidifying all day, everyday.
Their footsteps echoed across the empty space. He thought of how his ex girlfriend would obsess over demarcating...

The thought of returning home felt unwise. Although he spent all day dreaming up sales copy that could convince bozos into buying almost anything, Dempsey couldn't imagine a plausible explanation, a believable story as to why he had been gone all night.
It painted too perfect a picture: the cheating husband....

The man who turns water into blood
Man saw that every time
urine
left his body he would soon die...
if it were not for water . Pure, clear water that he could drink so that he would not run out of blood .
The earth provided so much water. It seemed an endless supply. Man would urinate in...

You've never seen Max Dempsey's beard
Compared to other men
downtown
late evening, Max Dempsey has an edge. While others sport the dark blue shade of a
five o clock shadow
, Dempsey's chin and jawline flaunts fresh.

What I like about physical books
As somebody working in the
info sector
, I spend much of my
time
on a computer. Even if I were to be hyper disciplined and used
computer
s exclusively for work, the portion of my week spent on computers would still be significant. That's why I prefer
physical books...

The
email
arrived as a surprise.
For the sender had been dead for a year now.
Had they been dead for much longer, it wouldn't have invoked the same fear. He couldn't explain why this was.
But the fact that his friend had only been dead one year... not even that... made him...

There wasΒ

in my food. My friend told me it was bad, that they should give me a refund.
I didn't mind.
At least tell them he said.
Nah. I don't want them to feel bad.
Feel like they should give it to you for free, he said.

Only thing is that it is hardly ever open. Still the cafe is my favorite haunt. I'll go there for a cup of coffee and sit around sipping it in the thick, white...

buchingae and rain
Near the horizon
rain hits ground
in bed it sounds like battered vegetables
frying in a skillet .
Last summer when my mom told me
on a rainy day
that the rain instills in her a craving of buchimgae
I asked why?
"the sound. it sounds like buchimgae frying in a pan."

Breathe
When she saw his eyes lock onto her instead of anybody else's in thatΒ
cafe
she knew that she would die.
Each sliver of a moment following felt longer than physically possible.
She had previously feared dying. Certainly she neither expected nor wanted to die this young. But now that the moment...
