"The Necklace"

You walk down the street, your hand in your pocket. Feeling the three hundred dollars you just made, no thought except for what you'll do with it all. Sellout. You deserve what's coming. The sun's finally calling it a day—it's been one hell of a long one for you—as it lowers itself past the towering buildings. Glowing dimmer while its colors change. Yellows, oranges, reds. Descending into the darker hues of twilight. Deep reds streaking the night sky, like blood on asphalt pouring out endlessly from his side. Slowly soaking the soles of your shoes as you stare in shock… Your hand reaches for

Dear YouMy teeth were chattering and yours weren’t, so you laughed and gave me your jacket. I found myself swimming in cloth and leather and your scent.
“Whatcha smiling about?” you asked me.
Intoxicated, I answered with another question. “Who could help but do so when surrounded by you?”
“Well don’t get too used to it. It’s cold back home.”

I hadn’t seen you in months (again) and wouldn’t for another couple (at least). In the space, all we could share was text and pictures and the rare phone call.

The Happy EndingMy sister says that I'm “life-changing.” ..she's always been a little eccentric. Clueless, I can only ask, “What?” And instead of a simple explanation, she gives a story:
“Before I was even three, our parents were on the verge of divorce...” Supposedly there were a million problems. And apparently having another baby hadn't helped things. But the real issue was dad's alcoholism. Especially the things he did while drunk: fighting, yelling, beating. Then one day I came along. A little later, God knows why, dad—drunk as hell—tried to leave mom and take me with him. He crashed six mi The Happy Ending

Romance on the Streets

100 Words - Opening NightOnlookers were clueless.
One stood in line, card in hand to pay. Another by the soda fountain, poised to take a sip. In plain sight, a group rummaging through a backpack. And still more. All frozen by an umbrella. A lone diner sat, gaze stubbornly turned toward nothing. Tucked behind a pillar, a chicken wrap stuck halfway out of a hungry mouth. And then the mouth chewed. Those previously still moved about. Drinking, eating, talking, laughing, all commenced anew, pranksters apparently oblivious of their prior state.
In the center the umbrella had shut, leaving time to tick freely. 100 Words - Opening Night

And the Trees Look Dead

Fri Nov 6, 2009, 4:13 PM

A few weeks ago was the prime time to see the leaves lose their chlorophyll (in terms of prettiness). In a few weeks it will get really cold and I'll be avoiding the outdoors avidly.

What I mean is that the fall semester is coming to a close. I've been busy with schoolwork (what with taking graduate classes and doing research and finishing up my Physics degree) leaving little time for the important things. Like reading and writing and deciding what flavour of ice cream would best suit my mood.

I have finished reading and can greatly recommend The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Other than that, not much.

And that is all.
