The gas station was well lit. It was off the highway. An old road that years before probably was something of a highway, but was too small so they built a bohemoth next to it. 

There was a gas station just off of it. They sold all sorts of things...

Different it was. He was in the car now. His phone turned back on. He wondered if they could tell that. He remembers that he couldn’t back then but the tech always gets better. Maybe they can see if from other ways. Or maybe the couldn’t and he was just...

You don’t often get a second chance. Ryan was saying and like the whole change where you live and who you hang out with bullshit is helpful but it’s hard. No matter how you move away your mom still wants to see you. Her big man who had this crazy...

Ryan didn’t even remember what he’d brought for his formal wear. Or fancy wear. Or whatever they called it.

You know Keith told me that fancy dress in England didn’t mean that it was nice, but more like a costume. Ryan said. I had no idea how to reply. That dude...

It was different Pete told Ryan. It was really different but not for a good reason.

This time it felt different. The car was moving fast. And it reminded him of how his older sister used to drive. Always...

Pete sipped his coffee still steaming. He had no personal style. Or nothing he curated thoughtfully, just sort of wore things. Most of them were from when he moved, out of his moms, but realistically most were before that. Some t-shirts from high school. Jesus. He was wearing one now. ...

An uncontrollable feeling came over him, and he looked around the cafe. There wasn’t too many single people. A group of friends was off sort of in a different part. Lots of older couples. Had already passed through the gauntlet. He was the only guy he could tell. If there...

They never had tea in  Spacecity he always drank coffee. Everyone drank coffee, not maybe because they wanted that was just all there was he guessed. 

He would have had either he thought. When his friend had invited him, Ryan. If he’d told him it was a coffee shop he’d...
