Drew last shared their writing Check on Him
Drew didn’t talk about Cambridge too much. Would just say things like “it was a long time ago.” Or “yeah yeah those were the days”.

Marc wanted to know more but didn’t pry. There had been a change at how they interacted. At the store they didn’t say hi, more ignored...

Be Ready as reply to a desire to get away

Marc left the room, wearing a fedora, and trying to slouch. He thought he would seem short. He had glasses on, and in his left hand a pocket mirror. This a trick from Denver allowed him to watch that car without turning his head. The car didn't move just stayed...

Idling as reply to last supper

The Car Door as reply to reminiscing

In the same amount of time Max was somewhere else. No closer to home, but with almost enough of something he felt like he could return. Now with all of his skills the diner would accept him with open arms.

Doug 14: Wasn’t Read as reply to Doug 13: the risotto thickens

Godot was laying down his phone directly over his head. Times before he’d drop it on his face but this time he was focused. Ready to answer.

It never Stops as reply to just like him

Marc Love had been so out of touch lately when he saw the headline.

" Blue Man Like Killing Spree, Has He Returned?" he didn't flinch.

It wasn't until Sammy's dad said something.

Doug 14: out loud as reply to Doug 13: the risotto thickens

The cops who arrived first messed up the scene. They didn't use gloves, got shoes marks on the ground. It was in the words of the new detective contaminated. 

He felt as soon as he entered the scene something was wrong. It didn't feel like a suicide. He didn't leave...

Doug 11: The Story as reply to Doug 10: a mistake

One of Marta's friends was into crime podcasts too. Listened to one about small town murders. Strange happenings, stuff people couldn't confirm of deny. She was listening to one, a crazy story about a guy who left buckets all around. He'd go stay in a small town like a year...

Max's as reply to cigarettes on a walk

Chris could finally grow hair. Or it was the way he styled it now. What was it five years up in  Spacecity and now he can grow a decent beard. Not like Keith's he was thinking. Always he compared himself to Keith. A habit that started the day he arrived...

Ethiopian Place as reply to cigarettes on a walk

"I could use a charge."

Max said. Taking his phone out gesturing. 

"Better than charging this with the car. Its just burning gas so I can send some texts."

Keith didn't respond, but made a face and nodded. To him that was reasonable, why would you burn gas just to send some...

His Head as reply to max's

Keith paused a bit too long. His head was hurting, maybe because of the weather. Or the heat. Too many changes he thought. 

"There a bit far away, he he, ummm too far to drive. So I'll just stay around you know. "
