He said Sephiroth would tell me in his own time once he felt he could trust me. I hope he tells me soon. I want to be one of his trusted people.

  16. “You are nothing but a common piece of trash. Get rid of it.” He spit his words like venom. His eyes burned into mine. Seconds after his enraged declaration, he stormed from the room, and the house.

  17. unlike the drifting humans flowing through shopping centers like a leaf through a stream bouncing off of the randomly placed bodies before it, he considered himself to be unique, standing staid against a lightpole gazing out from an indescript hat that covered his eyes and hid his scorn and desires.

  18. “Common ground, Common ground” he yelled as he paced back in forth in front of the old blue refrigerator. He paused with a hand on the refrigerator handle and examined a tattered black and white photograph of a dog held in place my a magnet shaped like a piece of corn.

  21. She said we had nothing in common and I laughed at her. She said we had no future and I laughed at her. She said she didn’t want to see me again, and I laughed at her. She tried to walk out the door…And I twisted her neck until her spine popped…Then I laughed at her.

  22. Find some common ground, huh? Fine. We’re both human. We’re both kinda white. We both hate each other. Is that good enough?

    Oh, and we’re both insanely in love with the same guy.

    Great.

  24. It is common to find a bear hiding in a cave. It is also common to find bees hiding in a bee hive. What is not common, however, is to find a human, hiding inside a turtle’s shell. Yeah, I know, you’re now thinking about how crazy I am. And I completely agree, but here’s the thing: I can’t help it. It’s what I’ve been taught. Yes, I was taught to hide in turtle shells. By whom, you may ask? By the the turtles, of course! You see, I was raised by turtles. Yes, turtles. You’ve heard stories about being raised by wolves, about being raised by monkeys and apes, but my storyy is being raised by turtles.

  25. Her dull hair. Her green eyes. Her small nose. Her curve-less figure. His crimson eyes surveyed her, observing her every feature and flaw. If anyone asked, he would say she was common, without hesitation. But in his own mind, in the shadows where nobody could reach him, he knew that she was anything but.

  26. It didn’t actually happen that often. It wasn’t a regular occurrence – how could it be? Happiness was fleeting, and then it was gone, almost as if that ghost of a smile never existed. Shame.

  30. There is so little in common between us, and yet we connect so well. Sometimes I wonder what we even talk about for hours on end, and I can’t think of any particular subjects. But the air between us is always filled with conversation.

  31. things that are all over the place. nouns that are not specific people, things, places, or ideas. not unusual, or maybe unusual but just very present.

  32. We have nothing in common. We are unalike in every way. Why do I feel like we are the same, like we’re supposed to be together? We aren’t the same. We are different and yet, our uncommoness sets us apart from the rest.

  33. What we had was rare. Neither of us ever hurt each other. What I did was common. I felt like I was missing something with him, so I tried to find it with someone else…only to find it had been there with him all along. So what would be really rare? If we get through it. If we work our way back to love.

  34. “It’s a common thing,” She always told me. “So don’t you worry about it…” But I heard the discreet tone lying under the surface of her words. It wasn’t so common, and something had to be done about it.

  35. “Have you considered the possibility that this is…that people like us are…perhaps more common than you thought?” I asked.
