Marc Love was surprised to learn that Drew had a phD fromΒ
Cambridge
. Not because Drew didn't seem smart but because he was here now in America working as a cashier at a grocery store. Love wanted to ask how he came to do that but didn't want to...

jack is keith
as reply to Looked Back
So that's how it began. How Jack andΒ
Imogen Howe
began speaking withΒ
English
accents. And in fact... they even began calling Jack by a new name Kieth. Jack didn't know where the name came from. But he went with it. And he was happy because the two of them...

maybe he needed to listen?
as reply to Perfect
The heat and humidity had him drenched. By the time he arrived at
Rust Bar
, he no longer smelled like the cologne.
There goes the plan, Jack thought. He figured he'd tell Imogen the story anyway now that he didn't smell like he was trying to go on a date....

can you meet?

After establishing a routine... Jack developed his routine further.
Now he spent most of his days between two activities. Staring out his window and walking around aimlessly.
The two activities were interluded with a session at the gym.
Jack could blend in for the most part so long as he wore a hoodie....

The next night she had a dream in that same world. In the dream world it wasn't the next day. But it was after the accident. Just after enough to be the next logical step. Everything that happened between the day of the accident and the second dream was just...

why did he have to eat it?
as reply to Toilet Paper Guy
She walked away quick. Just as swift as she arrived. Jack was confused. He had thought they were joking together. But now that he was revisiting the short encounter in his head, it was as though she was actually not joking. There were people who might be following her. There...

jack had free time
as reply to Trapped
Jack was doing overhead barbell presses when the text came. He felt the vibration distinctly. His phone now muted almost every notification so when it did vibrate it was impossible to ignore.
Plus it meant that it was one person. He had even muted Aaron awhile ago. They still texted all...

She was going to deliver pizzas until the car broke down. A good way to send the car off she thought.

She sent one more text. Then she closed her eyes and tried to sleep. Didn't want to get stuck in a long text message. Also with who would this long conversation be? Some stranger who made his ownΒ

? That would be absurd.

After the car drove off it was a little too quiet in the house. Chris was dutifully licking the vanilla ice cream. "Come on," Ryan said while waving his hand and nodding his head, "let's get some pizza rolls."

One night she was bored. Alan was watching the fight drinking beer and eating potato chips. The volume was so loud. The images and colors were so bright. She decided to go to bed early. But she couldn't sleep. She sat there scrolling her phone. And then she had to...
