The  dreams got me higher than  cocaine . It was good that I finally fell asleep, I thought. Or I dreamt. Whatever it meant to think in a dream.

I like the feeling of coke. Best way to describe it is like a hit streak in high school. What I mean...

The company was late on its rent . There was nobody to resolve the issue so they assigned it to an  intern . However the intern didn't take care of the issue and so the startup was getting kicked out of the office. Not because the building they rented a...

Mark sat at the park bench alone. Besides the odd day when a stranger gifted him their company he sat alone. It had been this way for 12 years now. Time flew by even though his days felt slow. Now that the end was near he wished the days would...
