I can hardly wait. Everything will work out right this time. I'm positive. This time I will not feel disappointed after a month or so. This time I'm going to eat both of her eyes.

Payback (the big bitch)

There was something wrong. It was driving me up a wall, because I couldn't figure out what it might be… I had done everything- I was sure of it! I'd finally got off work after I did everything there. I had already done all the homework I was going to do, so it wasn't that, either. I'd drunk the obligatory twelve pack, shaved my head and bleached it out-

What else could there possibly be?!? Then I realized nothing else was wrong. I just didn't have a life!

The Space

Do you remember our boat upon the lake? Watching the leaves fall onto the water while the butterflies chased each other across the water as the clouds raced their reflections. In the middle of nowhere, just you, me and a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. The humidity making the air into wet velvet on our skin. The silence so loud. The plum blossoms in your hair. Nobody around for miles. Nobody to hear you scream.
