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...

swish swish
as reply to Employee Discount
Every time he took a step the pants made swishing sound. He liked taking steps with these pants. Felt breezy. His mom would go crazy when he walked around the house in circles just to hear the swishing. "Go outside!" she'd say.

jack could be that
as reply to Employee Discount
While Bella was gone to get the employee discount beers, Jack watched the pool table and checked the bouncers' reactions. You couldn't get a read on them. They were calm. Poker face. Poker body language.
The kid who'd just cracked the pool stick was breathing heavily. Heaving almost. Waiting for someone...

a show is about to begin

Jack nursed a beer. The bar was mostly empty except for fidgety eyed youngsters who were trying to fit into the scene, be a character and too concerned with whether people were noticing them. Seeing them as they way they wanted to be seen. There was a slim young teenager...

Most things would arrive in two days. Crazy he thought, how the cafe needed constant influx of supplies. Otherwise the place couldn't run.
Kind of like his own body. He had to keep breathing. Oxygen. Every breath. Didn't matter how many breaths he had taken in his life before. If he...

"Mmm okay. Order ready in 15 - 20 minutes"
"Thanks. I'll see you soon."
"Oh. By the way. How did you hear about us? If you don't mind saying."
"My neighbor. He orders Ming's every day."
"Thanks. We are trying to figure out where are customers are coming from. Anyways, thank you for your...

jack feels lonely
as reply to Let the Mud Settle
Jack felt especially lonely that night.
He hadn't talked to anyone he knew in four weeks. Almost a month now.
At first it was nice. A relief from his past life. Breathing room.
But now he longed to talk to somebody. Only he didn't want to talk to someone from his actual life....

please
as reply to Let the Mud Settle
At the bar Jack sat in a booth in the corner instead of at the bar. This was unusual to do when alone. It was an unspoken rule that loners were supposed to stay out of this booth. For the most part loners sat at the bar. That's where you...

what was i winning
as reply to Let the Mud Settle
Jack couldn't win in high school. On the internet he was known for being jacked. But that was because you could just get swole and look big in pictures.
In high school you had to actually be big or fast to win. Jack couldn't win back then. Wasn't over six foot....

Alan's mom was a simple woman. After 15 years in a loveless relationship, and raising Alan and making sure he had what he needed - school, meals, a warm home -- it was now her time.

you bet, shooter!
as reply to Called Her
He had a reasonable excuse he thought for why he skipped the last two orders.
The coins. They were pumping. so he took the money and invested it.
They hadn't tanked. But they didnt' go up either. Now down 20 percent he didnt' want to sell. Wanted to wait it out.
