Abraham Kim last shared their writing Watching
It was strange how the tea master or barista or whatever you should call them read his mind. It took him back to his days up in  Spacecity where he woudl watch thousands of hours of footage on some people and he would begin to understand them deeply enough that...

the quiet of being alone as reply to The Ceiling

Max and Dave were in sync at the diner, but not outside of it.

When Max got off the social media platforms, he had told Dave "you can text me though you got my number." Dave smiled, had assumed that Max would now be getting other hobbies. Maybe reading books or...

max eats dinner alone as reply to Cheese

This evening, he nibbled only a little bit of the pasta before spitting it out into the trash. Usually he would just swallow the not fully cooked pasta even though it was probably partially undigestable. But a week earlier he had gotten sick from eating oysters and had been bed...

you're crazy, man as reply to Maybe

"No fucking way. That's got to be made up, man."

"I'm telling you," Johnny said with a grin as he leaned forward to drink the  cappuccino , and then leaned back while looking off over to the side. The grin was still pasted onto his face. "Sometimes strange things happen like...

johnny is confused as reply to Must Happen

Johnny found it insane that McKayla was okay with letting things be. 

He checked the peep hole over and over again to see what she had seen. Eventually McKayla had to groan at him, "stop going over there. Let it go."

Whenever he looked through the  peep hole , he saw...

peep hole as reply to Find Her

She wasn't expecting to see anything when stepping up to the peep hole. Looking through it was more of a joke. Years later she would wonder how much different life would've been had she never tried looking through that peep hole at that exact moment.

Johnny came in bandaged up and...

mckayla doesn't do birthdays as reply to Same Now

He hadn't said it was his birthday. But he knew she didn't remember. McKayla never remembered birthdays. She even preferred people not knowing her's either.

Johnny always remembered her's when it came around. But he never told her happy birthday in a celebratory manner that might make her embarrassed. He'd always...

scrunching up as reply to His Deal

He was bummed that she took out her phone. If it had been another friend he wouldn't have cared. Everybody was constantly on and off their phones these days. But McKayla was different. When she was hanging out, she always gave you her full attention. So when she took out...

that had to be the one, right? as reply to Just Ranch

He was sure that McKayla hadn't seen the red convertible. It was a big ask to expect someone to spot something reflecting off a storefront's glass like that. He had only seen it because he was looking for it. Anytime he went out now he was at least subconsciously watching...
