hammer the tension out

They pause their conversations and take a seat around the table, sliding their handbags carefully underneath the table. The conversation continues as they all get comfortable but is interrupted once again by the waiter taking orders. They over order as usual, it’s been a while since they last met and there’s plenty of news and [...]

something to say, nothing to do

Tiny balls of scrunched up paper fill the bin and the floor that surrounds. The room is dark except for the lamp that shines directly down on the table below. She’s been sitting there for hours but only makes progress slowly. Her wrists and fingers hurt from pushing pen against paper. She wants this to [...]

stop when I say when

The gap in the half opened window sucks the smoke out of the car that comes from the cigarette between his fingers and inside of his lungs. The waves from the speakers that connect to the radio enter through his ears but he pays no attention. The music just creates light background noise as he [...]

Lemmings

what is it about you?

We’ve been through so much, I don’t know what it’ll be like without you.
The nights we spent doing nothing but lie in each other’s arms.

These are moments I won’t forget, forgetting you will be hard to [...]

getting priorities right

She enters the bar with him following behind. Judging by the familiar faces she knows it’s going to be a very long night. Her 6 inch heels are already starting to hurt but the pain is worth it for the stunning figure. He sees some friends to the right so goes over the greet them [...]
