3. blunt, known for disagreements and lying, lie after, after lie. convinced half-truths, living in formulated fantasies.
4. unforgiving, bitter and jealous, terribly jealous.
5. seclusion and recluse, always prepared to replace and forget others.

3. sits with his legs crossed at the ankles.
4. controlled gestures, thinking before moving, calculating space around him, never completely at ease.
5. tensed shoulders, on guard, even when alone.
1. cheap, unsettling motels. humidity plagued rooms, pay by the hour rates. flickering television screens with static, no sound, muted pictures on bare skin and uncomfortable bed-sheets that leave behind scratches.
2. dust storms, hot, desert wastelands, deserted worlds, fallout, sand grinding and crunching under boots.
3. lithium hydroxine, purification systems, chemical reactions, salts, soaps to wash away reminders.
4. analytic thinking, formulas and equations, marker stains on the end of tired fingertips, rewriting, proving theories. migraines, wide-eyed awakeness.
