I stuffed my right hand in my jacket pocket— partly for warmth —but also to pull out my crumpled railway guide.

“Damn it’s late,” I whispered, glaring up at the small clock connected to the large, beige building. It read 12:28 in the morning.

Seeing the time only increased the painful sting in my temples.

Gently pressing the affected areas with my thumb and little finger, I felt s...

The candle floods the room

Warmth from the heaters

The room breathes

The sweet whisper of jazz

The needle weaving through the grooves of the record

I slowly opened my eyes, trying to recall the events of the night before. I felt a drop of liquid fall onto my neck and looked down at the puddle that had formed under my feet from the dripping remains of the storm.

Looking back at my pitifu...

I softly chuckled. I really thought that this would be a good idea.

“You should get away for a while,” they said. “Take a vacation,” they said.

Well some vacation this was. Here we are, stranded on this pitiful island.
