John clattered down the granite stairs and out onto Harlow Street, hanging a quick left. Immediately before him was a tall woman he was going to crash into. John could just barely push a foot to try to miss her, but he had a head of speed. He only brushed her shoulder and hip, but the course change set him at high velocity directly at a city litter basket....
Chapter 6: Conversations The arid land lay before him illuminated by the rising lemon moon, casting deep shadows around the rocks and low scrub of wormwood and camel thorn.

My friend Marcus and I entered the building and caught the elevator to the basement floor, and when the doors opened we looked at each other warily. The hallway was extremely dim from what we could see, and for a moment I considered letting him go in by himself. "Are you sure this is the right place?" I asked. "Of course. 69 Appleton Street.

I wake up with my head on Masters chest, his hand stroking my strawberry blonde hair, like every morning for the past two months. I smile and untangle myself from Master and walk to my dresser and pull on a pair of bright red boxer briefs before heading to the kitchen. As I make our omelets, a task I'm now so used to, my mind wanders. The past two months I...
"Hey man, you want to come to visit and stay with me a few days? My parents are taking my sister to Europe for two weeks and asked if I could house-sit while they're gone." I first met Scott when we joined the same middle school softball team. We became best friends and hung out together all through middle school and high school. We were really bummed when...
