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...

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...

god damn
as reply to Out of Here
Each step he took was painful. He had to pump himself up before lurching again. God damn he wished he had another bulletproof vest on. He wished they had those full body armors like in those video games. Halo.
A bullet proof only protected you in a limited area. You could...

Cash's Cup ironically didn't accept cash.
Why the hell is it called Cash's cup then? one young man remarked.
It's the name of the barista.
Oh well that makes sense, the young man said while returning to his phone. I like that guy!
No that's not Cash. That's James. He's just a barista.
But you...

some crazy shit
as reply to Is Good
The evening light fitlered through the dust. Few people were in the bar. Nobody caught Red's attention. They were all the usual crowd. Everybody except for one.
The man at the bar. Nursing a scotch. Hunched over. Deep in thought. Red knew the look of a man in rumination. He'd been...

the town of Seaside won't let this rest

TheΒ
Seaside Rest
was an old school motel. They washed dishes by hand. Made home cooked meals. Gave guests cloth napkins; these would be washed and given to the next guest.
There was no continuous menu. The motel made what they did based on whatever ingredients they had and you either...

making dave disappear
as reply to A Good Guy
They held a funeral for Dave. They couldn't risk exposure. The easiest thing to do was say he was dead, hold a funeral, but actually ship him two thousand miles east.
The killer was never found. Or never revealed. The blue group was able to figure out the shooter but they...
