"So, you'd be the Thor to my Jane."

"I have no idea what you speak of," Agatha chugs down half a glass of wine, and Bruce is half expecting her to throw it to the floor and shout 'another!', but she just stares at him instead, "You are strange."

"I'm strange?" He laughs, loud enough that the couple a few tables over send him a dirty look, "That's good. I like strange."

Agatha shakes her head, ...

My breath punches out of my chest to the rhythm of the song blaring in my left ear. I wince at the razor sharp sound of an electric guitar solo.

Either Mötley Crüe or Led Zepplin - I hate both.

"Seriously Ethan, quit playing this junk when I'm working."

I press my back against the concrete wall across the yard from the main entrance. The chill of the wall quickly seeps through my wet bodysuit....

**Sweet morning dew clings,**

**Sweet Morning birds sing,**

**The sky is alight,**

**Melting away the silent night...**

**Stark grey skies,**

**The seagull cries,**

**Waves crashing down,**

**The sun begins his journey to the ground...**

**The Serene owl calls,**

**Tranquil Night falls.**

Rooftop Cigarettes

_"Light claws at the dark,_

_Pericing the black veil,_

_Color ignites a spark,_

_Clinging darkness soon will fail..."_

I watch the slow sunrise,

Reading bad poetry from 1875.

Smoking my rooftop cigarettes,

Trying so hard to forget...

All the pretty things you did,

How I acted like a stupid kid.

Fell in love too fast, too deep,

Should've known better,

You were never mine to keep...

But now Prett...

You're character did a very, very bad thing (not murder, too easy)... yet they aren't the villain. Does the guilt eat them alive? Does the shame nearly kill them? ...

Is this what Stevie Wonder sees? Just an endless chasm dripping wet with void... Now I'm even more impressed about 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered'

Jacob's cute smiling face was the last thing I saw before the power went out. Troy's- _frankly embarrassing_- screech was the first thing I heard. My baby brother hit a note only the dogs can hear.

The air feels sharper, like cool glass against my skin. T...

I stick my hand into the werewolf's mouth, palm grazing rows and rows of canines. Searching for a loose - Ah ha, got it. The tooth comes out clean, and white. Not enough glue, not enough paint.

"Can we get some more yellow on this?" I toss the tooth at Mark. It dings off his forehead and hits the floor. "We're making a werewolf, not a telletubby."

Mark paints a thin layer of yellow-ish brown on ...

A box full of 'Me'...

I shove my hand in blindly.

"That's a stupid idea," Chimes Sanity

I feel something soft,

Something very hard...

"That's what she said."

Hope cracks a joke, laugh echoing in my head.

My fingertips freeze icy cold,

It's a memory of snow, it's very old...

"I'll be 'very old' by the time you get to the point."

I ignore Hope, always the impatient one.

A memory of soft summer grass...

Cardboard Coffin

I hear your laugh in the wind,

I see your smile in the waves you couldn't swim...

People get close

But never closer than you.

People are funny,

But they're jokes never do.

Where did you go?

You fell off the face of the earth,

Is that all we were worth?

Severed ties, no 'Goodbyes'...

Maybe it was for the best,

Despite this ache in my chest.

Have you changed at all?

Probably still small.

Do you look...
