and brittle, hollow nothings.
If I sit here too long I'll lurch forward and dredge forth archaic, saccharine words regurgitated into lingering ulcerous sentences.
& you're still as far away

I knew you as hours drowned in cheeky self-replicating smirks; as phrases flung out carelessly in that purple italic font. I knew you as the following variations on the letter P: =P ;P xP

Unnatural Vice - Part 14While the house was burning, I ran. I ran, dear reader, reeking of gasoline, with no destination in mind. If I must put it honestly, I've been running ever since. But we'll talk, for now, of that particular morning: The sun still hadn't risen and the streets were deserted. I eventually ran out of breath and collapsed onto the hard damp pavement. There was a car next to me, parked on the grass verge of the road. I squinted at the window: the car was unlocked. Seizing upon this lucky coincidence, I opened the door, climbed in and sped away.
