She walked up to the door and was about to knock. But her hand didn't move. Instead she placed her ear against the wood and listened.

Crab Bucket

I was walking around downtown waiting for Karen to come for lunch.

She was thinking about changing her name, because everybody was making fun of her.

I told her not to worry about it, but honestly I thought it was a good idea.

At Night

It must've been years since the last time he walked alone, out onto the street, this late at night, after having drinks.

Rain had come and gone. Now he felt as though he was walking through mist rather than being hit by falling raindrops.

He was two blocks over from the smack...

Beer or whiskey

If he had to pick, he didn't know which he'd let go.

On any given evening he knew what he preferred. But then again letting go of something. Leaving something behind, was different than having it wasn't it?

He spent much of his afternoons on walks.

Around campus and along the main strip. The early part of the day when he could nurse a coffee were his favorite part. Once the sun started going down feelings grew heavier within him. Have to find someplace that he can call... he...

Solid, Physical

D.W. spent much of their days on a computer.

Assigning human readable names to data. Assigning human readable names to operations that manipulated data.

The firm that employed D.W. compensated well. They could afford to order anything they wanted to eat and have it show up at their door. They had not...

The Bar

One day she realized something.

And after that her days of finding meaning at the bars were over. She had now found truth.

Only... she had to let the others know about this truth. There was more to life than going out to bars. More than just getting drunk and hooking up....

Three minutes without oxygen and you're dead. Fly too close to that time and your brain's toast.

Three days without water and you're done. I always wondered whyΒ  Walter White andΒ  Jesse Pinkman didn't just dehydrate their first murder to death?

Journeys

During many long walks on cold nights I remember proclaiming to drewbaca_ on long walks that I feel no sense of loss in the fact that I spend so much time away from my parents.

What-ifs

Most of our energy is spent on what-ifs instead of what is.

Fist as weapon - V

When you were new in town you had to prove yourself as quick as possible.

Roddy didn't have large hands, but he had a crazy temperament. Calm one moment standing next to you lending you a cigarette on a cold day, mashing some random guy's face in the next.
