At the bar he scrolled his phone. He had to know, what was Kyle Sardisnsky doing. He searched at the bar, his screen lighting his face up blue. He was in the booth. No one around him. His drink had a stream of bubbles trying to escape. 

He checked  LinkedIn...

Usually Jack wouldn't respond. Or would respond, but only with short words. Aaron he liked, he didn't really need to talk. They played games together online sometimes. At one point he was playing on Aaron's poker tournament, but with Alan it wasn't like that. Always had to talk. Usually about...

Keith lay now on the bathroom floor. Why was he here again? He didn't know, nothing made sense to him in this made-up world. For a long time he thought the world was fair. When he was young especially. Even after his mom moved away, and there was all the...
