It was strange keeping change from a customer.Β

wasn't a restaurant. there was no tipping. At first Drew thought about putting the extra cash into the register. Instead he pocketed it. Figured it would just be wasted if he put it into the register anyway. Although the store always...

in silence
as reply to I just feel off
There must've been something in the air, Joey thought. Not only was his coworker Tony acting weird. But he noticed his girlfriend Jane being weird too. She rustled her fingers through his hair. "You're so creative."
"What?" he asked. Trying to laugh it off.
"You're like one of those artist types."
"Jane. What...

The breeze of the evening rustled the branches. The shadows danced across the concrete sidewalk and the grass. Love walked with a cigarette in his hand. A cigar he had smoked earlier. But for a walk... he preferred a cigarette. Something about aΒ
cigar

When he arrived inΒ
Bloomington, IN
, he felt different. He wouldn't leave here right away like he did with any other place he stopped.
He didn't just pick the first hotel he found. He drove around a bit. Ended up booking a bed and breakfast downtown. It looked like one...

three tips
as reply to The Neighbor
When he opened the door he was surprised to see his coworker Tony.
"You just can't open the door like that. That's how you'll get killed."
Tony came in without waiting for an invitation.
"Look I know what you're up to. So let me give you a few pointers. First one. I already...

joey is batman
as reply to "See you Tony"
It was strange. Joey had said that it was a busy night. But going through the POS system, Tony saw that there were barely any sales. Joey had probably just lied to cover up the fact the real reason he hadn't read the book.
It was because Joey was actuallyΒ Batman...

In front of him sat a book with an audacious title. The

Devour it whole. Like a python. In high school he remembered kids talking about a video where a python tried swallowing a gator whole. And it exploded.
Apparently the video was disgusting. Derek never got to see it. But the kids told him not to. So he listened.

derek the detective
as reply to Need the Cash
"What?"
"you heard me. Drop. The. Case."
"But--"
"God Dammit. I said drop the fucking case."
The Lieutenant turned around and stared out the window. The detective could see his superior's face reflected in the glass. The anger subsided from it. And a sigh came. Then he turned back around.
"How many weeks has it...

Regular people didn't have time to actually find out where theΒ
Blue Man
was. They could watch his videos. And sit in dark bars, drinking one more than they should over loud theories of whether the Blue Man was still alive or not.
But a regular person didn't have the resources...
