The room had no windows. He faced a computer all day. And the coffee was bad.
But he was no longer in that motel room. So he was glad to be here.
Big Joe still brought him Chinese food. The same kind he got delivered in that dingy motel room. He'd...

Streak City
Pre Nostalgia
J extended his right arm, palm facing the sky.
"If you find this to be bad then you ought to thank me for insiting on that final drink." Berkan let out two burps. He then covered the top of his face using both his hands. J followed suit.

Freedom
Tim stepped out from under the roof when the rain waned to drizzle.
When he first moved to Streak City any amount of rainfall had cause him to run for cover. Then he bought an umbrella that he carried everywhere. And now finally he didn't even notice drizzling rain and walked...

The late afternoon crowd
Chewed up Pork Knuckle inside their bellies and a new round of beer on tabletop, you could now look around The Boar Hall and see the dinner crowd start to fill in.
The late afternoon folk, the early drinkers, cast an entirely different atmosphere than those who had made dinner plans....

Pork Knuckle
They arrived at a place called The Boar Hall. It was too late for lunch, but a bit too early for dinner.
A waitress placed two beers in front of J and Berkan immediately after the two sat down. Five minutes later when their beers were nearly empty a different waitress...

Two writers head to dinner
Inside room 217 was a young man standing barefoot on his bed while spinning a towel in the air.
"Oh hello."
He got down from the bed and came over to shake J's hand.
"My name is Berkan."
"Hi, Berkan. I'm J."
"J? Hmmm. An interesting name. Where are you from, J?"
"Nowhere."
"Ha! Well we must...

The Importance of Meals -- pt 2

Elementary School

I heard two phrases nearly every meal during this phase of life.
Eventually I'd learn to not leave a single grain of rice in my bowl. I'd learn to leave not a drop of deanjjang chigae. But until then I kept being told to scrape my...

Scrape your bowl clean.

The Importance of Meals -- pt 1

Elementary School

My mom had to drag me away for meals. I would either be playing outside with the neighborhood kids or inside glued to a videogame. Whatever had my attention, it pained me to step away for something as trivial as a meal.

Implicit vs Explicit beliefs on importance
Whatever it is, if I'm doing it, then some part of me believes that it's the most important thing I could be doing at that moment.
Often it's something obviously unimportant. Like scrolling Twitter yet again.
In such moments there's a dissonance. A part of me implicitly believes that rest and...

My mom taught me to pray before each meal. I even believed that you would go to hell if you forgot or neglected enough times. Whenever I'd skip a prayer my brain would begin racing to remember the last time and calculating my running ratio. Most times my...

A booster pack of Pokemon Cards
----------------------
Elementary School
--------------------------
My introduction to Pokemon Cards was a booster pack from my friend Eunchan.
"Let's play." he had said.
"Okay."
We left my parents' apartment. I followed him thinking we would be playing outside. But instead of running to the playground or to get our bikes we walked slowly. Eunchan caressed this...
