Cambridge

Their relationship begun in the winter.Β
Winter was always special for that reason.
But each passing winter, it felt less special.
And their relationship felt less a one of a kind and more of a clone.
The creative, sensitive man now seemed plain, irritating, and unoriginal.
And her cafe. No longer felt like a...

made him smile
as reply to A Little Longer
When he woke up it was quiet. His son must be out of the house he thought.
By now he'd gotten used to having Aaron around. They spent only a few hours awake at the same time. But the house felt more whole with his own kind bopping around. He was...

we should do this again
as reply to Dancer Together
He got up. Laying in bed made him sick and he couldn't fall asleep. He was too drunk. Maybe the last three or four beers that done him in. Otherwise he would probably be sleeping right now. A shitty sleep, but at least some shuteye.
Aaron's snoring filled the otherwise quiet...

sean is cool
as reply to Like the Rest of Us
Alan knew hating Sean was childish. He'd played this scene before. Knew where it headed 99 out of 100 times, and still he couldn't escape his role.
Sad too. He liked Sean. Always had since they said hi while Alan moved in. They probably would be friends had they had something...

cool people butting in
as reply to Don't Forget the Mustard
He was surprised that the comment came from
Imogen Howe
. It was something Aaron would say. Or Jack after a few drinks. Were they rubbing off on her? He was overthinking things. His face reddened more, continuing to think that she knew what he was talking about.
But on her...

"We broke our promise to you, boy scout." Aaron gulped yellow lager into his mouth. Alan could see the beer pour in. Aaron was the only person who drank beer without the can touching his lips. "We went out. To get these." Aaron said while pointing to a cluster ofΒ ...

like a guitar that had been tuned
as reply to Silence
The sound of a tuning guitar brought back memories. College.
Ashley was still college aged actually. She had attended for only a year before dropping out. It had been a mess. A waste of twenty grand.
Afterwards she was too embarrassed to move back home. She worked at a cafe near campus:...

korean soup
as reply to Something Calming
Spoons clanked in a steamed room. Voices intertwined between slurping sounds and laughter. Alan's head remain shrugged, his eyes closed. It was bright. He imagined slim fingers of an east asian masseuse rubbing his eyelids.
He was alone at the table now. The three had gone to get their order from...

It had taken everything in him to get up. But he was suddenly able when
Imogen Howe
mentioned visiting coffee shops.
Until then he felt like death . Didn't care what the others did. Alan only wanted the time to pass. Time was the only thing that could cure a hangover...
