obey

He obeyed the stop sign as he should. Two minutes later, two glock 9 millimeters were pointed at the sides of his head. The car or your life, one thug said. Lower one gun and I can get out, he said to him.

account

He took into account the consequences of his actions only when it was befitting to do so. Those times were fewer these days, as he did what he had to in order to avoid slipping back down the slow decline of homelessness.

distinguished

He carried the most distinguished cane at the race track. Women swooned at the sight of his dapper attire. To think, 100 years from now this place would be populated with little more than gambling addicts and washed up bookies.

insect

The political party made efforts to “insect,” that is to say, “become a sect,” in service to it’s own principles like gods, not the will of the people it represents.

ant

The ant practiced swooning his girl ant-friend with a super-jive cool walk. He knew where a hidden stack of crackers was near a large kitchen closet too. A perfect first date.

pepper

Was I worth my salt? I’ve always referred to myself as more or a pepper man. Not the coarse, ground kind. I mean the bright green unprocessed kind at the supermarket.

mole

The styrofoam cup was barely enough to contain the heat from the molten liquid that was the hot chocolate. He knew he had to take a sip or risk insulting her.

alumni

The alumni dinner would be tainted by her memory — that is the memory of her skin, her scent and her laugh. No alcohol, he committed to himself.

digital

The digital language of the nanobots was bizarre. Something they had made up themselves as a means of mocking their creators. Like school kids passing notes when the teacher’s back is turned.

woven

The woven carpet crushed firmly under his feet. The place smelled of fabric, dried and raw. The girl he was with leaned into him. “That’s the one. He took it.

figure

He viewed her figure like a man drinking in a fine aged whiskey. If you’ve seen the rapt attention of a man viewing a work of fine art, you would know his expression

The figure on the chalk board haunted him. As though it tried to speak to him. Like the haunting echoes of past thoughts. Like the unatainable st
