Abraham Kim last shared their writing flight risk
In the store he got bread and cheese. The cashier didn't look at him more than she needed to. She wasn't part of the network. They hadn't gotten to the folks out here yet. but soon they would. He would try to savor these few days of freedom before everybody...

the parrot as reply to 43 now

That Parrot was now running for mayor. The owner had put the parrot on the ballot as a joke but people took a liking to it. So he thought why the hell not? He was sure that his parrot couldn't win the election so spun up an Instagram account to...

felt so far away now as reply to She said

Decades later Howard would wonder how he had been crushed so much on Ashleigh.

Now that she was an old woman with a potbelly. Not that he was much of a catch now. But at least he had not been a catch ever to begin with.

Back in college though 99% of...

shine another way as reply to With This

When Howard first tried acting like he didn't like Ashleigh his bluff was quickly vaporized by Mike.

The Frat Star Michael Bo had the one trick, and he always used this one trick on guys who pretended to not like a girl. "So I can ask her out right?"

That would galvanize...

who's calling my phone? as reply to To Say

The phone rang.

Who's calling my phone? Howard thought.

It was Ashleigh.

He had to answer. But he didn't want Spencer and Mike to know. Apparently they knew someone was calling that Howard wanted to talk to because a grin was pasted to both their faces.

"Aren't you going to pick that up?" Spencer...

howard hoped as reply to In Unison

The three of them all looked at each other. Nobody said it for a moment. But each knew the other were thinking the same thing. Later Howard would think it was strange all three of them were on campus Thanksgiving night. Didn't Mike and Spencer have families they had to...

all alone as reply to OR Something

When he got back to Campbell he was no longer hungry. It felt like he had to take a five pound shit. He knew he couldn't go though so he didn't bother going to the bathroom. Instead he went straight to his room. He wanted to bypass all these empty...

he liked to hang dry as reply to Go Fish

The mysterious tall guy's washer finished before Howard's dryer. They continued to play Go Fish. The whole time Howard wondered when the third person would arrive. The one who was washing clothes in the washer that neither belonged to him and the mysterious guy across the table.

However by the time...

go fish as reply to Til Now

The guy stayed in the laundry room. Howard wanted to stay too. What point was there in going back to his room. Also there was some dormant fear about this guy messing with his clothes. He had already taken them out of the washer while he wasn't here... who knew...

the laundry room in the basement as reply to The Laundry

For a place Howard spent so little time in, the laundry room took up an obscene amount of mind.

It was not a fun place to be. The route there was through a basement that reminded him of horror flicks.

Once inside the room the air was wet and thick. The smell...

damn. empty as reply to Soda in the Caf

The cup was big. Reminded him of big slurpee cups from 7-eleven. He could fit half his daily water need in it. So he would fill it and bring it back to his room. So long as he drank enough at the caf then the water in this cup would...
