When McKayla toldΒ
Imogen Howe
she needed time off for a vacation she never said how long. Imogen didn't ask the duration expecting McKayla to offer it herself. However no further details came. McKayla didn't even say the destination. These were all details that seemed basic to a vacation request....

i hope so, calvin
as reply to Ring Off
She didn't take the ring off because she was interested in Calvin. She took it off because she was embarrassed to say she was looking for a man named Keith. And of course Calvin would ask, is that your husband?
She would feel stupid saying no. I am married though. To...

keith learns a lesson

Keith, his mom, and his brother moved away from theΒ
ghost town
before Keith hit middle school. Thus Keith never really knew what it was like to grow up there. He thought you didn't really know what a place was unless you went to at least middle school there.

Keith had worked more hours a week than he had ever done on earth. Yet it never felt like he was working. Each working day felt like he was just 'being'. Doing something he would normally do had he had the day off.
This was probably why he...

where'd you go?
as reply to Find the Time
She couldn't find the time anymore. Back then she could only write regularly because of a trick she learned from a co-worker named Abe.
He said, "All you need to do is have aΒ notebook with you. Make sure it's not a nice one. The nicer the notebook, the more you'll...

a routine
as reply to Afford That
He liked writing about the man who lived exclusively off delivery. Over the days he observed him more closely. Certain things felt peculiar.
Like how the man never left the room. It seemed like he stayed there all day. Another thing was that the man never seemed to order the food...

close enough

Jack was lost. It'd been months. He should've had his book out by now.
Instead he had run from California. Nobody online knew where he was.
He'd gone to Westcity . Big enough that he could blend in. small enough that he felt a part of something. And the real reason. It...

as reply to Would Happen
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...

"Have a little bit more to drink."
Keith looked at the cameras. Wondered which one was the one the person was looking at. Keith wanted the person to see Keith straight on.

He wasn't sure if he could leave the room or not. He had passed the test. What did that mean?
He had nowhere to go even if he were to leave the motel. So he stayed put. Was just happy to have eaten somethign for the first time in days.
