"she never looked nice. she looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something"

Geographically Precise, Existentially Nowhere

Slept in seven beds in two months and each one remembered differently. Some soft. Some cold. One smelled like citrus and childhood.

Almosts, and Other True Things

Black coffee no sugar, just like the man who disappeared.
