#42 Travel Troubles
He smells like beer, like cigarettes. Back when you could still smoke in bars. On the motel bed, leaning against the stained plywood headboard he closes his eyes and smokes; it’s six am.
Miles of road in two directions, East and West. He shoves his hands in his back pockets and scrutinizes the choices with narrowed eyes, smoking, a different cigarette.
The fight is over pool, he talks too much trash, his game is too fine. They think he’s hustling them.
“Where’s your tooth?” The parking lot is an inky ocean all lost in its depths.
“It’s just a tooth.”
#46 Endings
The de-evolution of relationships:
“I like spending time with you.”
“You’re so funny, you just get me.”
“I adore you.”
“I love you.”
“You make me feel like no one has ever made me feel before.”
“This is good. I love us.”
“I don’t care whatever you want to do.”
“I have to work late, don’t wait up.”
“God I hate it when you do [insert appropriate action here.]”
Silence.
“Whatever, I’m sleeping on the couch.”
“Seriously? How can you be so fucking stupid?”
“You’re such a burden.”
“Stop being such a bitch.”
“Shut the fuck up.”
“I hate you.”
