sweat
It's hot and she races through the neighborhood, searching for her victim. The sweat rolls down her cheek as he comes into view. "The day is mine," she spits through gritting teeth.
--------------------------------------------
She downshifts and floors the pedal, flinging her head back to catch the smirk she is sure to throw. She can sense the worried look on his face even though she can only see the back of his head through the rear windshield.
"C?"
"Yeah?"
"This is not funny anymore," he yells flacidly out the open window.
"That depends on whose shoes you're in, baby."

local
Local weather says it is sunny with a slight chance of heart-break. It is cold outside but there are colder places I know of.

three
One is the loneliest number. Two can't be as sad as one, nothing is so heavy as one. Three makes for a great night of drinking.

mold
My position is moldy, my chair is deteriorating. I need to move to the next level of this crazy video game of Life. I need to jump over the killing mushroom men and grab all the coins I can. I need to rip open my chest and show the world my heart and other icky insides.

borrow
I am living on borrowed hope. Does the happy ending ever come? What about the happy middle that comes before the gripping climax? Maybe just a taste of something sweet. My sour is becoming too normalized.

vague
I am lost in the vagueness of you. What do you mean when you say goodnight? I can't hear what you want to tell me and my head is slamming against the wall. Or am I just beating my head for no reason?

faint
My love is not for the faint of heart. I am bold and strong, with a hint of whimsy. I am stubborn and passionate, but I care more than you will know. I am mute, but someday you will hear.
