the bar has become his den, his home away from home. he’s consuming alcohol like it’s his favorite past time, throwing back shot after shot. it’s the first time he’s been able to get out from under the suffocating grasp of his mother, whose become somewhat of an unofficial parol officer. the bartender’s getting an earful, whether they want it or not, when the jukebox kicks in, playing a tune he’s heard multiple times tonight.. “aye,” voice cuts through the third run of free bird. `“if I gotta hear lynyrd skynyrd one more fuckin’ time we’re gonna have problems.”

“ what ?! “ she laughs slash coughs as she stops running , OUT OF BREATH from the long run. “she couldn’t remember how long it had been since she had rested. she tended to get caught up in her mind when she went on long runs like these. the ones when she couldn’t sleep at night – so she ran. it was better than tossing and turning in her sleep and annoy her wife. “ you’re … out late. “ casual conversation. easy. she untwists the cap to her water bottle and takes and extra long sip – chest burning due to the run.

“Hey!” Jamie called from the kitchen. “ Your last one to leave before the kitchen closes at this hotel.” He said while cooking up some food. He always stayed behind to wait on the last customer to leave before closing up everything. He didn’t really like having someone watching, other than his girlfriend, prepare foods he’s been experimenting with. But, this time around, he was determined to get another’s opinion on his steak, and they were the best choice. “ Since your here…mind coming back here and being a taste tester? Can’t beat free food from the head chef.”

Robyn had just finished work for the day and had a whole box of marking to take home with her. The older kids in her class had been learning some basic spelling and arithmetic, so she had a nice pile of homework to go through in her free time. Some teachers refused to take their work home with them, but she wasn’t one of those teachers.

Carrying a fairly large box in her hands, she navigated the school gate with only a little difficulty. It was when she reached her car that she had a problem. In an impressive feat of clumsiness, Robyn managed to drop her car keys on the floor, accidentally kick them underneath the vehicle when she tried to shuffle over to pick them up, and then tipped some of her workbooks out of the box and on to the ground. “Ah fuck.” She said rather loudly, then realised where she was and immediately mentally cursed herself because there still could have been kids around.

The way to get away with most things, Zadie had found, was to be so blunt and open about whatever stupid thing it was you were doing, no one dared question you. So when someone spotted her on the beach late at night, a small semi-legal bonfire going in front of her and a stack of CDs at her side, she responded with the absolute, ridiculous truth.

“These are copies of my first album, which is a blight on both my soul and the music art form. I bought out the local record shop’s entire stock when I realized they were actually selling this abomination. And this is a bonfire with which I am destroying them. Because Holy water wasn’t available. Keep a-walkin’.”

It was quiet here - peaceful even. There wasn’t enough customers to fill the place with idle chatter, and he welcomed the calm ambiance. Oryn had his hands wrapped around a a hot cup of coffee as he watched the passersby from his seat by the wide window. A tentative sip was taken from the scalding drink when a few people entered. Yet his attention was adverted from the cityscape until he felt a nearby presence. 

“Care to join?” Pale eyes glance upwards as a smile warmed his features. He didn’t work here, and there were plenty of tables available aside from the one he was seated at. Still, that didn’t stop him from voicing the question.

After many, many hours spent painting some old lady’s fence (though she was awful sweet and kept bringing him iced-tea), the best part of Bill’s day was sitting on his front porch and chain smoking to his heart’s content. Not that he hadn’t been all day. He was a cigarette fiend, after all. He was sweaty, his white tank covered in dark green paint smears there was dirt under his fingernails, but he was smiling.

He sat there for a few minutes before an alligator crawled up beside him. Unlike most people, who would probably have gone inside and shut the door, Bill was unperturbed. He disappeared into the kitchen for a moment, then came back with a few strips of bacon, which he began to feed to the alligator (a mean looking fucker if ever there was one). “How y’doin’, Roscoe, buddie? Water been good?” He ran a hand over its scaly head, which it didn’t seem to mind, then looked up.

“What you want?” @fortystarters
