" i wasn’t staring ” he’s standing in the elevator with her. this woman who has decided to step foot in the worn-down, vandalised wooden box. each movement it makes, up and down, sounds as if one of the cogs at any moment may rust and cause it to just drop. somehow, each time it doesn’t. somehow, each time, arthur is disappointed that it doesn’t. he speaks to her, his voice so quiet, as if speaking may make it worse. but arthur has found that people are uncomfortable around him. ‘ they find you fucking weird, arthur ’ his own boss had said to him earlier today, referring to his colleagues. ‘ they find you fucking weird, but i like you but- ’ and there’s always but’s if only because they keep the opportunities open for them to take advantage of arthur.
“ i was just- ” he had noticed her when she stepped in. if only because he was surprised she got in the same space as him. because arthur walks around, usually, with a large invisible aura around him that repulses people and keeps them away. “ - t-the elevator. the sounds - i was- ” he was listening to the sudden thud he heard in the ceiling of the elevator, but when he’d looked away he’d looked at her. and now he’s speaking, where speaking isn’t necessary. so he looks away again. eyes, firmly glued to a sticky spot on the floor, where gum has begun to grow moldy.

he listens to her story. haunted. everyone died. how she had come back and seen nothing for her. and how the only option was suicide. what a waste of a life. but he thinks there's some humor to it. if only because he sees it from the perspective of a woman who had given up, who had thought death would be the one way out, but even her death sounds as painful as those moments in her life were. “ and died? ” he's slightly leaning on the sides of his feet. in anticipation despite the doors beginning to open for his floor. how his feet are beginning to walk in the direction, but half of his body twisted, as though waiting for confirmation from the woman in the elevator who tells stories. he'll remember her. he'll hope she'll have more stories to tell.
he finds it funny. funny. humor is subjective, is what they say, but whenever arthur has something to laugh about he's always met with a concerned or disgusted grimace from anyone who has overheard or seen the sight of him. and he can't seem to help himself now, mouth upturning into a wicked smile and tongue, laid flat as though to make room in his mouth for the laughter that's escaping. but he covers his mouth quickly, fast, as if to muffle the sound. with a sort of unapologetic innocence a child would have when they knew they've done something wrong but think they can hide visible guilt or visible satisfaction at the wrongdoing.
“ y-yeah it's my-” he can't get a word out between his laughter. some of which is stirred on by his uncontrollable, compulsion to laugh. a condition he has developed from head trauma that correlates with years of childhood abuse, and even if it had a chance to recover, the abuse he receives as an adult - constant beatings by strangers in the street using him as a punching bag - wouldn't allow it. he manages to suck in a deep breath, enough to hold the tickling in his throat of laughter yearning to continue. not because he finds it funny now. but because it refuses to stop. “ thank you ” he says, as his feet begin to exit him from the elevator. “ maybe next time, i’ll have something to tell you ”

okay so i got like, three books delivered this week, and in anticipation i reread another book that i had, and lads, let me tell ye, it was like quicksand. so now i have a list, some from my head, many from my wonderful friends’ heads, of prompts that basically made us all very soft or very “pleasantly scandalized rich lady from the sixties who just found out a juicy bit of goss about the new neighbor”. i hope ye like them! (DO NOT ADD TO THE LIST. I WILL MAKE A PART TWO. AND THREE. AND FOUR. MANY MANY PARTS. EVENTUALLY. )
[ HAIR ]: sender slowly reaches out to catch a loose strand of the receiver’s hair and tuck it gently and securely back behind their ear, letting their touch linger afterwards. (if the receiver has short hair, then the sender reaches out and gently runs their fingers through their hair to smooth it back.)
[ CLOSE ]: while standing remarkably close to one another, the sender is unable to stop themselves from running their gaze across the receiver’s body, lingering for a moment on their lips, before returning to initiate prolonged, intense eye contact.
[ CHIN ]: as they stand close to one another, the sender hooks a finger and tenderly lifts the receiver’s chin, tilting it up so that they can look at one another, and running a thumb across their skin lightly.
[ THUMB ]: while cupping the receiver’s cheek in their hand, the sender slowly glides their thumb across their cheekbone in a tender, sweeping caress.
[ WOUND ]: upon noticing a recent injury on the receiver’s person, the sender carefully moves closer, running a thumb (or hand) across the wound in a gentle, troubled manner.
[ INHALE ]: while standing in very close quarters to the receiver, the sender shakily inhales with desire/anticipation as they realize how intimately close they are to one another.
[ DANCE ]: when alone together (e.g. the bedroom, the kitchen, literally anywhere once they’re alone) the sender takes the receiver’s hand, and pulls them into a graceful yet intimate dance as a spontaneous act.
[ BARE ]: as they get undressed, the sender gently places a soft, tender kiss against the receiver’s bare shoulder.
[ SCAR ]: noticing a scar on the receiver’s skin, the sender tentatively stops them from covering it up, and rests a gentle, soft kiss over it.
[ FOREHEAD ]: placing a hand on the back of the receiver’s neck, the sender guides them close and rests their foreheads together.
[ PALM ]: taking the receiver’s hand, the sender brings it to their mouth, and places a tender kiss against the receiver’s palm.
[ LINGER ]: taking the receiver’s hand, the sender lifts it to their lips, and gently kisses their knuckles, lingering for a moment before withdrawing.
[ BEHIND ]: upon entering the same room as the receiver, the sender steps behind them, and winds their arms around the receiver’s waist, drawing them close against them.
[ WAIT ]: realizing the receiver is about to leave the room, the sender hastily reaches out and catches their wrist, preventing them from continuing their departure.
[ ARM ]: after holding their hand, the sender releases the receiver, but slowly glides their hand up the full length of their arm, lingering on the upper arm, then the shoulder, then resting their touch against the side of their neck.
[ HOLD ]: while close to the receiver, the sender wordlessly takes a hold of their hand, for no other purpose than to be holding it.
[ PLAY ]: while sitting together, the sender absently lifts the receiver’s hand, idly running their fingertips across the lines of their palms, mapping out every inch of their hand with slow, lazy touches.
[ GUIDE ]: in the process of guiding the receiver through a crowded place, the sender’s hand protectively grazes against the small of their back
[ TOUCH ]: while touching the receiver’s waist, the sender’s hand briefly dips beneath the hem of their shirt, skimming briefly across the bare skin of their waist.
[ CUP ]: bringing both hands up to cup the receiver’s face, the sender draws them in closer to them in order to get a better look at their face.
[ TUG ]: the sender tugs the receiver close against them by resting a hand against the small of their back, pulling them flush against their body.
[ HUSH ]: while standing close to one another and hiding from pursuers, the sender reaches up and places a finger against the receiver’s lips to prevent them from speaking and revealing their location.

Camila couldn’t believe that she had actually let her friends set her up for the night. She’d had terrible dating history since attending college in America, and her friends had hoped that tonight would turn her mood around. It was always so awkward when Camila got set up with a stranger, but she at least agreed (only because when the time came her friends would owe her a favor and she’d certainly take them up on it). She knew absolutely nothing of the person they had set her up with either, all that she knew was that she was handed an address to a bar and told to be there at eight o’clock. She was never one to be late, instead quite early, a glass of wine in hand as she tried to figure out who she’d be spending her night with as she watched each stranger walk through the doors.
what is he meant to do? he’s been in the bar for the past hour. his fingers, distressed at the sticky sensation of the bar countertop. a futile attempt by bar staff to clean the wooden surface - and that’s presuming that they do so. hygiene. max has a thing about hygiene. he’s obsessive about it to say the least, and he can imagine some textbook psychologist would get a real sense of pride at reciting words they’d read directly from a medical book to him. they’d diagnose max in seconds. but there are many things wrong with max, according to society. and the fact he is high maintenance about hygiene is the least of what their concerns should be around. max has been listening to conversations going on around him. men talking to women. mansplaining to them. women fake laughing or laughing too much at something, if only because they’re desperate for a connection they have not yet achieved with another human being. another companion.
and all it reminds him of is how fourteen hours earlier he had been torturing a woman, for no other reason than to quench this incessant need for violence. and she had lied to him about companionship. showing to him, how desperate she were for her life, while also providing him with enough knowledge in her state of fear, about how she most likely yearned for something more in her future - a husband, a family, the traditional american dream - which she would not achieve because of max’s presence. ‘ i have a husband! he’ll be worried about me, he’ll look for me! ’ little did she know that max already knew all he needed to know. and little did she know these attempts to feign a connection with him that is human, doesn’t work on an individual who thinks he’s bigger than god.
“ i can guarantee they aren’t coming ” he says all of a sudden, his voice, raised enough to be heard by her earshot. he’s been watching her occasionally. how she sits. her body language. how she drinks her wine. alone. how she occasionally seems to fidget. he can only calculate what the cause is. “ if it’s a blind date, ” he begins with ‘ if ‘ but max is too smart to get things wrong. and if he is wrong, he finds great humiliation in it, like a cat that’s been witnessed losing its balance. “ they’ll be far too intimidated by a woman who has the balls to say yes to a blind date ”

“ i don’t know what i’m doing ” he speaks to the other down the phone. the first person he seems to call every single time there’s a problem, a challenge, or simply for an outlet to vent to on life. he had been so serious at the beginning of this conversation. panicked. feeling off edge because the path he felt he was meant to be following had gone askew. but the more he speaks to them, hears their answer, the inflictions of their tone and the vocabulary they use - all familiar and comforting - the more he seems to let his guard down. “ am i meant to know what i’m fucking doing? ” his eyes squint, lines slightly appearing on the corner of his eyes as he lets out a small laugh, almost as though, now on mutual ground with the other about the ridiculousness of it all.

i know you said you’re busy at the moment , but i think you’re lying .
i want you to give me a reason to leave .
you don’t get it , do you ?
you use me when you need a hit .
what's it cost for a minute of your heart and soul ?
my state of mind’s been steadily dropping .
might as well just hold my tongue , it’s nothing you would understand .
i don’t really know myself .
thoughts of you are racing in my mind .
oh , you had me for a moment .
you took it out on me when it got hard .
i know you’re mocking my name .
i don’t understand why i’m so afraid of who i am .
i’m done . i’m leaving .
no , you don’t care anyways .
take me home .
if this isn’t love , then i’ll stop now .
take your coat , don’t get cold .
you never loved me . you didn’t want me .
give me something real .
god , it feels like i’ve been here before .
i feel like we’re drifting apart .
i never loved myself like i love you .
maybe you could help me .
i heard your friends say that you think you're better off .
you’ll never understand .
i’ve got enough friends .
i’m finding it harder to fit in .
why are you afraid to die ?
it’s nothing you would understand .
god help you , darling .
tonight it’s hard for me to care .
can you swear i’ll be yours ?
baby , it’s too late to talk .
you say that you love me but you never could .
there's nothing more that i'd like than to be yours for life .
i don’t wanna go out tonight .
i thought that i could trust you .
i’m leaving you cause the pain isn’t worth it .
don’t pretend to love me when you’re feeling alone .

i love you . don’t ask why , it’s just because i do .
i know you’re mine .
you feel so lovely when you touch me .
you don’t wanna change .
i’ll say the words and you’ll listen .
you don’t love me .
who am i to hold you back ?
i need to know the truth .

i’m running out of time .
the self - loathing comes and goes .
fighting is doing no good .
fuck it , just drive .
have you been here before ?
no , you think i’m fucking lazy .
baby , i swear i tried .
i’m dying to see you again .
i’m finding it harder to feel brave .
don't make me feel like i did this all wrong .
something in your eyes just gives it away .
it’s only in my head , but it’s not gonna change .
hit me up anytime you want .
maybe you could show me another way out .
we should go before i change my mind .
i know you’ve seen it but you’re not replying .

lacey paused the reality show in front of them, freezing the screen as she looked over at the other. “okay, you’ve been watching this with me for almost three hours. i thought you hated this show.” it was a modeling competition show, filled with crying and drama over nothing. sometimes it even had lacey rolling her eyes. “what’s going on with you?”
" lacey, ” he wants to interrupt her. part of him, to tell her to shut her fucking mouth. they get along well, and yet max has a short temper. he has a monstrous streak in him that he doesn’t like to show her. he tries to create boundaries with her and himself, and yet lately he has found that all boundaries in his life lately are crumbling. and not because he’s resisting it when he should be too. if anything, he’s giving into all intrusive thoughts and allowing them to make him stronger. and the best he can do at the moment is to behave like some normal person. and yet he feels a shell of himself. but this isn’t a bad thing, because he feels like his soul has left his body and he’s become some sort of all knowing, powerful being. and how ludicrous does that sound outloud? “ i need you to tell anyone who asks that i was here last wednesday ” he tells her. “ all night ” he asserts, his fingers, drumming against the arm of the couch. his eyes stuck on the freeze frame of the television. the model on screen, caught in some frozen angle that makes her look like a codfish. “ and that’s all i’m asking you to do ”
" i don’t like to repeat myself ”
he had been in a calm mood before he had interacted with this familiar face. to anyone else, perhaps this person is fine to be around, and does not stir the smallest ounce of frustration within them. but for max, they do. max, who is high maintenance, a short tempered man, well-educated and cultured, and importantly, a serial killer. years have gone by with max uncaught. taking it upon himself to go under different aliases, and blending so easily into the herd of sheep that is the rest of this fucking population. and yet lately he has been caught in ties with the person opposite him. some kind of strange tango they seem to have between them. some unestablished relationship and he hopes it will continue that way. if only because he can see no reason for their use other than to take his anger out on. to dismember and kill at the strength of his hands. for max is an almighty being. a self-proclaimed god. and although some may shake their heads and scoff at the egotism of such an accusation, they soon take back the words when their last breath pronounces the words, ‘ my god ’ while he’s snapping their vertebrae.
“ and i know that the one brain cell you do fucking have must be working at something. ” he mutters. his words, always direct and far too honest to a point of insulting. crude and cruel. “ so tell me it’s for fucking listening and not just there to tell you when to stop jerking your genitals raw ”

he can feel it floating through his veins, and cloaking his entire being. boredom. and yet he has been watching the same trashy, nonsensical, braincell reducing show as she for the past three hours. and not one complaint coming from him. maybe it’s because he’s been trapped within the walls of his mind for that entire time, going on anxiety-riddled journey’s in the maze of his mind. " why does anything have to be going on? isn’t this what you want? ” he tries to smile it off, as if to insinuate that she’s picking up on something that isn’t there. but it is. even max’s pattern of speech, his unusual reduction of cursing and crude words. and then suddenly: “ fuck it, lacey. you’re not happy when i’m fucking watching this shit show and you’re not happy when i’m calling it rat shit either ”
