Just Fine as reply to new summer

Kevinย  noticed everything. The motels floor was scratched there, so they put carpet over it. The paint chipped there, he could do that next week. The roof needed work. That job had to wait for his nephew to come. Once a year he'd come stay at the place. Help Kevin...

Dance with Me as reply to the decision to leave



When Marc stopped dancing.

It wasn't an intentional thing.ย 

It was slow like filling a room dripping faucet.ย 

Life in some ways took it from him for sure. ย 

He was running for his life.

Competition as reply to eventually

Sammy didn't know how to reply to Marcs question.

"Why do you want to do this?"

"I want to be like the Blue Man."

Marc froze for a second. He doesn't know. He just keeps saying that.

To No One as reply to eventually

Marc ground the head of the cigarette out. He flicked it into the grating of sewer opening. Its all gunna end up in the same place, isn't it he thought. He at first was motivated by Sammy, but now he didn't understand something he didn't get it. What did Sammy...

Toast and Coffee as reply to bread
