Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing bitterness
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....

nice to know as reply to Turned Around

Dave... the other one, not the one who worked with Keith in a lab, was still stuck inside that motel. He hadn't eaten in four days now. Was worriedΒ  Big Joe would never return.

Dave felt the fat on his stomach. Estimated he had about four or so weeks left to...

a familiar coastline as reply to Could Do

There was nothing good on. All the good stuff went to streaming services now. TheΒ  TV was akin to paper mail. Nothing but junk and ads.

But the big man hadn't left him a computer. He didn't have his phone on him. There was nothing to do but watch the tube....

at least the groceries as reply to Dave Said.

It was enough food for two days he supposed. Calories. No nutrition really. But something to consume and not be 'starving' at least.

He didn't know what he was going to do. In fact he had never gotten a reply to the question: how long would he have to hide out...

swell as reply to Been Changed

Keith had always found his upbringing sad. Over the couple days he told it to Imogen Howe , he realized it wasn't sad at all. Had he read a similar upbringing in another man's biography he wouldn't pity the guy. Would find it relatable. Nothing to be ashamed of.

That's what...

in decades as reply to Feel the Best

She was asleep when he returned. The song kept playing in his head.

"TheΒ  Seaside Rest , the place that knows you best."

Stuck in his head. An ear worm. Funny that it was this motel jingle.

He thought about what to do. Sat on the chair near the other window, away from...

convince me, Big Joe said as reply to No Idea

And he would have no idea. Because in a flash he was blacked out.

THUD.

He woke up later. Not sure what time it was. He could tell it was a basement. But the windows were completely blacked out. There was no way to sense whether it was day or night.

"You're awake,"...

you promise? as reply to How did She Get Here

Imogen Howe never left town after high school. She had one the "most likely to never return" for her class' mock awards. The award show had taken place in the gym. Dark with the spotlights on the stage. The song "I'm leaving, never to come back again" played as Imogen...

quietly as reply to Was There

After a moment he felt safe. Safe enough at least. He knew that he'd be safe there so long as he stayed still. He wouldn't be found by any hostiles. How did he know? Too much experience in 'the field', he thought.

The safety had him relaxing a bit. He could...

keith heads to the airport as reply to It was Cold

The air chilled as it glided across the sea. The sun was no where today. A bad omen Keith thought.

When a good thing was happening was when he worried. When things weren't going well, an omen didn't mean much.

Imogen was flying in though. He feared the worst. Knew it would...

eerie feeling as reply to To Her

She checked the time. This flight was too short. She wished she was a few thousand miles east now. She wasn't ready.

Suddenly she felt that same fear . The same discomfort that haunted her in the darkness of that strange highway exit. Outside that strange house with the lights on...
